Bluey


My thoughts exactly....The Blues always seem to make life difficult don,t they :-\ .....It,ll be difficult for me to get to both the Baggies game AND the parade but I,ll make it somehow.

A LETTER TO MY DAD
beachblue @ 04-DEC-02 01:37 PM
Hi Dad, Just thoght I'd let you know that the Blues are in the Premier League now, that's the old 1st division but with loads more money. They are doing great 11th at the moment when everyone expected them to be rooted at the bottom of the table. It's a bit different from when you first took me down as an 8 year old with the wooden stool for me to stand on in the Kop. (stools aren't allowed now)and there's no way the gate man would let you lift me over the turnstile like they used to. That always bothered me when I saw the attendance figures as I knew I hadn't been counted along with a lot of other little un's. But it was great to see D.ick Neal, Trevor Smith, Johnny Watts, Malcolm Beard, Johnny Schofield I could fill this whole letter with names. Of course can't leave out Trevor Francis he was 5 yards faster than anyone around him or so it seems. Feel sorry for Trev because he came back as manager for 6 years but he wasn't nearly as good a manager as he was a player but he still gave it his best. I remember all the old players you used to tell me about Joe Bradford, Harry Hibbs, Cyril Trigg etc as though it were yesterday. Sorry I couldn't take you down the match so often in the end when it was my duty to take you but you were a bit dodgy on the old legs and I was so worried that you would get knocked over in the crowd. By the way it's all seater now, no standing allowed I bet you would find that hard to handle ? Well I'm telling you all this but I bet you know it all, I can just see you along with a few thousand others sitting on the top of the stands looking down on today's matches, the old ground looks pretty swish now don't it ? So sorry you never got to experience today's team in the fklesh you would be so pleased. Save me a space next to you on the roof of the stand Dad, I'll join you sooner or later, but not too soon I hope.

Bit of a damp squib yesterdays Parade...In fact I found it embarrassing :-[ , Got the impression most of the players didn,t want to be there.
I suppose the Baggies result along with all the arguing with the council didn,t help matters, bought us back to earth with a bump thats for certain..Still don,t worry Everton away on Wednesday (gulp :-\ )

       As i said previously they should have paraded the cup after the baggies game on saturday in front of a full stadium,,,not one of the people I went to wembley with attended yesterday (all season ticket holders) as everyone knew how it would turn out.

Hi Pickard
         
             My dad took me to the original tie at hillsbrough but wouldnt go to maine road for the replay,,,,,listened to the game on the radio,,,,,,,,as a 10 year old at the time to say i was gutted that night would be a slight understatement :(

             Cheers Bluey O0
