This might just be a sick day for me!

 

[I Dont Care]

Would be interesting to hear

 

[Lockhart Road]

This should be standing room only; unfortunately I can't see myself making it down.

 

[manureid]

They should have Wrinkles as well...cos you know, he could set them all straight to what actually happened.

 

[chiwigi]

Would be interesting to hear

As someone who was not around at the time, the whole saga fascinates me.

 

[Jabsy]

As another who is unable to attend, it'd be great to have a video on youtube/PAFC website...

 

[powermacs]

I'll go if we get to re-enact KG walking through the members wing.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

You really need Bruce Weber and Alan Schwab to be alive to get the full story. But this will be as close as we get to the truth about 1990, 1994-1996 and 2012-2014 negotiations.

I'll get on to that just after I get the Beatles back together.

 

[tribey]

I'd settle for Milli Vanilli.

Sound evening, saccharin monarch.

 

[Port 2004]

I'll go if we get to re-enact KG walking through the members wing.

He walked directly passed me that day and a guy standing next to me stuck his foot out. I also have news vision on a VHS tape. The electricity in the air that day was something that I don't think I have ever encountered.

 

[Hodges 153!]

Would be interesting to hear

Yep.

Bazz Curtains plugged it with KT at the after-match yesterday.

I didn't think we were quite ready for this yet, but the book (Oakley's) is out, so why not. There's a couple of skeletons in that closet....

 

[Powerstufff]

Who's going? I'd love to go but would prefer to to be with people from this site.
Here's a little slightly peripheral nostalgia.

My cousin wanted to go so he bought a ticket for him and I on Monday at the Port club. But they have to send it out to him etc so as long as there are no stuff ups I will be there.

Do you know your table number? If so I'll try and get a seat there.

 

[manureid]

REH will be at table 1.

 

[Powerstufff]

REH will be at table 1.

Inside knowledge? Or just that you'd expect nothing less?

 

[manureid]

It is REH....royalty sits at the front.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

No. But I can ask Dave Banner to put us on the same table.

 

[Powerstufff]

... I can ask Dave Banner to put us on the same table.

OK I'll book tomorrow and let you know, after which that will work.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

No. But I can ask Dave Banner to put us on the same table.

I'm going to try and get down early for this me old salt.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I'm going to try and get down early for this me old salt.

Ok keep me informed and will get you on the same table as well.

 

[Magpiespower]

Ooh, this is tempting...

 

[charcolechaddy]

This sounds great, what has Oakley written about this?
