I suspect there's a third occasion one of us may not have been on like you said earlier!

Interestingly am still trying to pin point the day I did Darlo's number 22 as you correctly remembered it was closed on the bank hol Monday game.<br /><br />5. I would trust your transpenine recollections more than mine. Am sure we only did two and Dad only came to second one. It's a mystery. May Dad have gone early on 2nd one? <br /><br />8. We are both as baaaa'd as each other! <br /><br />Si 'BRAPA' Everitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291680772889990384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-9572874716311094712015-08-31T23:27:30.224+01:002015-08-31T23:27:30.224+01:001.

Not as good as the Shay, but the only defeat I cam immediately remember was the 2-0 (the program the following home game actually ,managed to get the score wrong and say 4-2) when Delaney was absolutely shite at left back and it pissed it down. Indeed, it started pissing it down even harder after the game to the extent that Father and I had no choice but to go into the first open door on the walk back to the station. By pure chance it happened to be a pub. I'm sure there are other defeats that I have erased from my mind.<br /><br />3. I hope there is no link between Timmy and Peter Taylor.<br /><br />5. I think one or both of us is conflicting memories of two days. That is something I am often guilty of. You did go home from the Riverhead once, but I think it was the trip when we didn't go to the Tunnel End, thus making it the first. I think Ben and Christine falling out at Hudders was the second trip. I'm not even certain on the number of trips we have done. It was two wasn't it.<br /><br />8. You do get baaaaa'd. I'm not sure it qualifies as a joke. Am I now baaaaa'd for even making it?Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-18869979052794918542015-08-30T10:53:55.705+01:002015-08-30T10:53:55.705+01:001.

Thanks Tom, it wasn't deliberate to take JW2 to Halifax, in fact we'd won at Darlo with him and drawn at Mansfield (where we always lose) so maybe he should have come to more matches! <br /><br />2. Totally agree, Three Pigs is one of the best I've ever been to.<br /><br />3. I take it the Taylor's pub and Peter Taylor are not linked in any way.<br /><br />5. Interesting. My memories are so vague, but I really don't think I went home early as I remember Slawit late on and Ben n Christine falling out on the journey back between Hudd-York. I will let you review the Tunnel End if it ever gets back in Guide as cannot recall it's interior. I do now recall your Mum buying me snacks to help sober me up, and it worked!<br /><br />6. I really enjoyed writing that one too, and i was dreading West Yorks cos thought I'd not remember any of my first visits, Leeds will be tricky.<br /><br />7. The "Hoot" was deliberate I am ashamed to say!<br /><br />8. Is this a joke? Do you get baaaaa'd?

Halifax was a bloo...We're going to lose today.<br /><br />Halifax was a bloody good choice to take a non Hull City AFC supporter to show them the might of the tigers. We were ace there. I think it was 6 visits, points gained 18, goals conceded 0. They were all hard fought as well. Shame about the 2-1 defeat at Fer Ark when they first got back in the league.<br /><br />Three Pigs is a contender for best pub in the country for me. It is one of the reasons I look forward to us being back in the 4th division on our war back to the Shay.<br /><br />I didn't see Colin Murphy's Black and Amber Army lose 4-0 at the MacAlpine Ground, but I recall the 3-1 in similar circumstances a year previous. I always forget the name of the Taylor's pub. That is one of the low points of Peter Taylor, the repeated buggering off to be with the under 21s instead. His presence would surely have made a difference. We could even have won both leagues if Taylor had been present and we'd won those games.<br /><br />I recall going to Arcadia with my Dad, funnily enough when looking for student accommodation so 2009ish. It was possibly the day we saw you walking down the street in the centre, so bailed off the bus at the first possible moment.<br /><br />First Transpennine crawl was the day we didn't go to the Tunnel End, just the Riverhead. It was also your none breakfast day. I think you went home at some point.<br />The second visit was the day we went to the terrible Tunnel End place. That was my idea, I appologise and accept full responsibility. I only hope it gets in the guide one day so you at least get a tick out of it. We walked along the canal from the Tunnel End to the wonderful Tunnel End. I think my mum bought some doughnuts and sausage rolls in the Coop to help feed you up on one of the visits. When's the book out. Let me know if you need a hand with it at some point.<br /><br />I particularly enjoyed that archives visit. I shall make a confession in the comments section of the next one.<br /><br />Was the hoot pub deliberate or just unfortunate? Almost as bad as one of mine.<br /><br />What happens after you get ejected from a Black Sheep pub?Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.com
