Any chance we could meet up sometime soon? Drop us a line will you. (why isn't there a thumbs-up emoticon?)
(Given the age group on this site I would imagine this may go over a few heads but it amused me)

Ahhhhhh....the auction of Manor Ground seats!"Baboo" wrote:Only just got round to reading this thread - I've come over all nostalgic as i do from time to time reading this sort of stuff.
The auction when we all went away with bits of the Manor.
The firework displays at the Manor that seemed to go on for ever and ever and ever.
In the days of Robin Herd I recall some Italians with motor racing connections were possibly going to invest in the club or buy it. I seem to remember a couple of what looked like mafia types walking around the Manor pitch before one game. Flavio Briatore? Obviously nothing came of it and I might even have dreamt the whole thing up.
Biomass has already been mentioned but that bloody scoreboard thing should get a whole chapter to itself.
I missed out on this and still regret it....does anyone know if there are any spares floating about still....or a turnstile.....or a floodlight??????

Over 8 years on and mine are still in my garage in pieces. I did get my actual season ticket seats though. A few years back I got round to straightening them out and painting the metal brackets but that's about as far as I got. I've also got a very large Beach Road Exit---> sign in my garage loft biut I think it will stay there as the builders built an extension around it!
