Tomorrow I will be at the Valley attending the wedding of Richard and his lovely bride Nat Machtus who met whilst supporting Charlton in the Royal Oak many years ago.He is finally making an honest woman of her !

If you are on CL Mr Grove all the best and I am really looking forward to the day.

Bloody hell....you still around?! Many hours spent on away-day trains with you, Richard Birch, "Dowman" and Steve Dixon, especially in the 84-85 season. Every Saturday we used to hear about how many goals you'd banged in the previous Sunday! 

Kindest Regards from "Simonsen" (Richard from West London... I was also a bit of a Bees follower and the man who christened you as "The Man in Black")

Congrats on the 1k consecutive home matches.

I don't think I could have come close to that. 

Are you doing any aways this season? I know there are no trips to Nottingham but Lincoln might be a good option.

I wasn't, bumped into someone I hadn't seen in many many years on Saturday and they said they saw I got married via this site. Still took me the best part of 2 days to actually look !

(And thanks ) :-)

Thanks mate, still gutted at missing a game at a run of 51 as a child and having to start again !

Not sure re aways sadly at present. Am ever hopeful but circumstances are not making it possible yet. (I know, fair weather fan ;-)  ).
