I was going through my draws yesterday, (no funny jokes please), when I found an old petrol receipt dated March 2001. On top was the the word Southend, the price of petrol was 74.9p a litre and a pack of Superkings was £3.99, yes just ten years ago. That season we were playing in division 3, yes division 3 away at Southend and we won, can't tell you the score but remember Wellens scoring one and Danny Coid getting injured. We had a defender (Polish sounding name) but English, whatever happened to him, Brett Ormerod, Shittu, Murphy, but GK draws a blank. Last game of this season at Man U., hard to believe the events of the last ten years but then again, never a dull moment following the Pool.

I was thinking perpaps there might be one other fan amongst us that may have been at the game, from memory there was at least 100 or so Pool supporters there that day. Back to the draws, also found a Tower Circus poster for 1966, the star of the show Charlie Cairoli and for the youngsters, no he was not a Pool player.

Could be a new thread here called "things found in your man drawer" I have loads of keys I've no idea what they're for, dead batteries, two old mobile phones and all sorts of tickets etc. I also found a signed beer mat from Phil Lynott and a note from Robert Plant. You've inspired me to go through it this weekend and see what other treasures lie there Youngsters please note that these aren't Ex Pool players either!
Sorry I can't help you whit. I wasn't one of the hardy 100 and have a memory akin to a goldfish.

Thought I was on the 'Antiques Roadshow' for a minute, there! Good on yer, Sher. (got rid of the pc-itis, I see.) Sorry, Whit, not at that one, either. Helluva shame you haven't been able to make a Home Game this season..... Ah, well, there's always next year. YL.

Tks for that Sherlock, hope you liked the joke re Sherlock Holmes yesterday. Yeni, cost for getting up to Pool now £100 diesel and tolls and train not much cheaper and would need to get 5.20 out of the North to get back at just gone midnight, wouldn't want to leave early and take the flak plus the problem of obtaining tickets. As for the away games they where great bar Birmingham and last weeks show (most of those taking part were last seasons Championship players) was fantastic to watch. Next year Yeni, yes would like to go again to the Emirates, next time we would be that more experienced but first we have to deal with that small matter of Bolton.
