  • An honest question requiring an honest answer, please.

    I realise that we're all fed up to the teeth with the current "has he/hasn't he" rumour mill that inevitably brings out the gallows humour in the best of us.

    And of course, we're all anxious for news of both the Takeover and the situation re Robbo.

    But PLEASE does anyone have any genuine info they can share at this time or any crumbs of comfort at this worrying time for our club.

    Care to enlighten us further @DOUCHER ?
    I thought we had established that neither of the 2 under consideration were red henrys lot - who were in the long grass - waiting like panthers - having said that, there is a compound firming at Charing Cross with people sleeping rough and along with all the essentials - card board boxes, blankets, sleeping bags, trollies etc - there is inexplicably - a large porcelain panther!!!! Is it a sign???!
    Who's we ?

    Smacking of desperation!

    Some people seem to be revelling in the current situation of uncertainty whilst I (and you obviously) sit here with the knives an inch from my wrists (figuratively speaking).

    I'm clinging to @Redhenry's earlier post.

    Surely we are due for some good luck after four years of poison??
  • I just know @Henry Irving will win the prize on the prediction thread. The only person I know who will definitely already have a copy of the Jimmy Seed story already.
    So he’s gone for May 8th I think.

    Me and my imaginary friend. Maybe red henrys lot have jumped out of the long grass and teamed up with the brits - that's what one of the henrys - if they r 2 people - seem to be indicating - hope this is true, just feel the aussies, having hung about so long, are not the answer to our problems

    Hush, sweet Fanny, I always think you look younger whenever I see you :wink:
  • The porcelain panther has made its move - its gone!!! Admittedly it was surrounded by sleeping bags, cases and boxes, not long grass, but it's gone!!!!!!

    Someone on Twitter reckons they have photos of the rich Aussie guy sitting at The Valley having press photos taken for an announcement this week. I smell BS or at least Fake Photos!!

    I've got an original copy of the Jimmy Seed story too.

    And no, I didn't buy it in 1957.

    In fact we did, Henry. Apparently it was bought new in 1956, and I remember it to be a varnished wooden cased cube, with a small gold coloured "PYE" monogram on the top.

    Right, enough of the interesting stuff. Best get back on topic speculating about nothing happening.

    I haven't been to the Valley for a long time because of my decision to stay away until Roland goes, but what has happened to the Mural? Or is that picture photoshopped?

  • edited March 2018
    The mural is further down. This one is on top of Floyd Road.
  • I thought that's where the mural was, but it's not been there for a while. Two murals?
  • Not that I've looked for ages but the mural is next to the Chippy on the bend. This bit is at the top of Floyd Road/Charlton Church lane.
