@fredcumpstey I hazard a guess that nobody will be able to ‘beat’ you 🤔

@RobZanders1 I would need to scroll through - including some I wish I had seen.

I found the 150th celebrations underwhelming and the attempt to rope in the Crompton memorial was just brazen. Anyway here are 151 things about the club that are unusual, eccentric and perhaps bizarre and not in any records book.

@fredcumpstey How many of the names in this brilliantly compiled list have you seen in action?

@HBerry177 @JimWilkz23 Thank you Harry. These are the sort of disclosures my wife would classify as ‘ useless information’ - for me, it’s like gold dust.

@Tiduswins It is outstanding. But you have also just added another £5 billion to the cost of fixing the place.

@MemorabiliaMal @collectfootball @NonLeagueCrowd I did this about 20 years ago. Got a Canon flatbed scanner that was adapted for slides. Circa £100 - probably less now. Easy enough but with all that lot, it should keep you quiet for a few months 😂 1964 photo by my Dad is an example.

HELP REQUIRED PLEASE!! I’d like to convert my old photographic slides to digital. Google has a few suggestions but I wondered if any of my followers have done similar and are able to advise the best/most cost effective way of doing so? Any help gratefully received, thank you.

@HBerry177 What have you got on Jack Dewhurst, Harry? It’s somebody I missed when compiled an ‘All Time Padiham’ side 🙈 🔵⚪️

Players with the same birthplace (other than Blackburn) who played together with the Rovers.

@CPRFC Kent Cup, 15 November 1981 A match that hinged on a reversed penalty after a Park break was halted by a head high tackle. The penalty was reversed due to the subsequent retribution. If my memory is correct? 🤔

@ChisMatters That’s great news. Excellent communication, no clichés or hyperbole, focus on local issues and doing the hard yards promoting Chislehurst rather than yourselves. Thanks and good luck.

On Thursday, 5th May 2022, we made history together by changing the political landscape of Chislehurst. Since then, you’ve placed your trust in us, and we’ve worked every day to repay that trust. We’ve championed local voices, held the Council to account, and fought for the

@MemorabiliaMal @fredcumpstey @JimWilkz23 @BillcArthur @jackarthur1951 @brfcsdotcom Jack Bray told of tackling Bruton so hard he landed in the Ewood Enclosure. Walking down the tunnel at HT a woman attacked local lad Jack with her brolly, “you traitor, Bray.” His response being, “Bugger off ome and make thi ‘usbands tae”

@camsell59 I’ve just read the section on Wilf Mannion in your wonderful Farther Corner. The photo is from a programme picked up by my father-in-law when serving in Palestine, 1946

@MemorabiliaMal 🤣… In defence of Mr Winkles the terminology used in his tweet is ‘of the time’ 😉

@andyplaysvinyl . Regarding footy in Palestine. Just remembered this old prog. Maybe your dad was at this one? 🤷🏼

@andyplaysvinyl @MemorabiliaMal @ToryglenRangers @NonLgeProgs @NonLeagueCrowd That reminds me that when in Egypt, my dad was in the same ‘group’ as Bob Paisley. Bob was an officer’s Batman. I reckoned he was too useful to the footy team that they didn’t want to risk him getting shot.

@andyplaysvinyl @MemorabiliaMal @ToryglenRangers @NonLgeProgs @NonLeagueCrowd The program was from my father in law who was a paratrooper in Palestine. I found a scorecard for Surrey vs Australian Services tucked inside.

@MemorabiliaMal @ToryglenRangers @RobZanders1 @NonLgeProgs @NonLeagueCrowd Yeah I saw that after I’d asked 🤪 also checked and dad never got there til a couple months after this. He loved his football and expect he would of gone to it.
