I do the occasional Tuesday night too, but not nearly as many as I would like due to work and financial reasons. I felt really bad for not being there on Tuesday night. Nights like that are when the team need the support the most. The June conference will be a new rule in the decision making process for next season.<br /><br />I will not go to a home game until either:<br />1) both Assem and Ehab Allam reverse a number of their policies and the good doctor appologises for his behaviour towards the supporters<br />2) both Assem and Ehab Allam leave the clubTom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-78725417232040155702016-04-06T22:49:20.797+01:002016-04-06T22:49:20.797+01:00It is a complex decision making scheme which kind ...It is a complex decision making scheme which kind of goes 'no to home games on a Sat' but could be tempted by mid weeks depending how the monthly BRAPA ticking is going. For away games, we look at ticket price, goodness of town in terms of pubs, day of the match. Me, Dad and Tom are getting together in June after fixtures are published to work out the ones we do and don't want to go to! <br /><br />Yes the Cover Bridge ale quality stood out for me too, especially as Kent to East Witton is a rocky journey for a barrel of beer!

I thought they had died out in the late 90's so perhaps Lofthouse has the last supply.

Whilst it is one I don't tend to use, I wouldn't object to its use from a younger person. The phrase 'strawberry blonde' sadly reminds me of Stuart Green.<br /><br />Croutons are pointless - people asking for them, even in soup contexts, are deranged. People asking for a coat in a pub clearly don't realise that they are in a pub, thus heavily confused and probably mentally unstable so should be taken away in a straitjacket.<br /><br />There is a greengrocer in Grimsby who weighs his money at the end of the day. He also sells eggs, so there is a chicken connection. He isn't called Clive though and appallingly doesn't have a beard.<br /><br />I shouldn't worry about the play off final. We're going to finish 12th.<br />What is a cheeselet? Is it just a small whole cheese?Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-32995227603791202222016-04-04T15:39:22.398+01:002016-04-04T15:39:22.398+01:00I can see where Simon gets his poetic streak from ...I can see where Simon gets his poetic streak from Bernard; couldn't put it any better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-32742848850861492242016-04-04T06:34:10.740+01:002016-04-04T06:34:10.740+01:00Don't you love it when you enter a pub for the...Don't you love it when you enter a pub for the first time, and a new world appears. From the outside the Cover Bridge seemed dark and desolate, not a sign of life. Inside, full of characters, hubbub, warmth, and comfort. Fantastic.
