Old Sod's Army-old newspapers

bog · September 08, 2015, 09:17:20 AM

Morning fellow foot soldiers. This is the last offering of a suitcase full of newspaper cuttings from the Keegan, Bracewell and Tigana eras. I am having a clear out as we are moving shortly and these are going to have to go. It will be so painful to throw them away, I will aim for a red carpet, glittering ceremonial ending at the local tip, but would prefer if another one such as I (a scruffy old hoarder my wife says) wants them then they are theirs. I live near Margate so Dreamland would beckon. The fairground not just the reading of the newspapers.
I would offer a free cup of tea but more that one would have to share the same tea bag. Woolly Mammoth has expressed an interest but time is running out.

Logistically it is very difficult for me at present, so it looks like Today's Newspaper, Tomorrows Fish and Chip Paper, and that is tragic.

Don't worry Woolly, they will have to go today then...tearful tipping coming up...some good times covered in them :012:

Thank you and good night

...Mike, I would love to have had them from you, so I could scan them and do historical features on FoF; sadly geography and time are against us - it breaks my heart you are having to do this...

Les. I will keep hold of them if we can work something out. I am out now until one today. I will get back to you. What area do you live?

...Mike, I'm just by Fulham's training ground in Motspur Park, Surrey, so not close at hand, and unlikely to be down your way, I work In Sunbury but that's not much better. Do you have any idea of the weight of all the cuttings - how many boxes etc.,...

Hi Bog, I did send you a Pm but obviously you did not get it.
I live in Margate and could pick them up if you give me your address.
Going up to London for the weekend so it will have to be Monday.

bog · September 11, 2015, 02:27:07 PM

alexmur. I think these would cost a fortune to put in the post! Whoever has them I think should take the lot.

Les, perhaps when I next come to a game I meet you and hand them over in a secretive cold war manner?

...Mike, a good solution is for Kent Cassandra pick them up from you, he soon hope to be moving to Tolworth (as part of the Tolworth Massive Clicque) and I can pinch a few to scan..!

Kent Cassandra, sorry I missed that message. That will be fine. We will sort out a time suitable for Monday.

Les, seems we have problem solved. :54: Mind you how do I read these personal messages? Am I missing something? Will a few have been sent me and seem to have been ignored, like when my wife asks me to do the ironing?

Woolly, sorry no can do with the helipad. A three mile run way in my back garden yes...but no ipad....

Thank you and good night.
