Very sorry to announce that Ian Twitchen passed away last night. Club legend and very top bloke. I'm sure many will have some great memories to share. RIP

I do not for one minute believe we have the money hanging around to sign him!

So in other words Agogo-anogo?

FA Cup - Paul Hirons came on as sub to score the winner and I got on match of the day. Great day! I remember Phil Parkes was drafted in to play in goal and his knees were so bad his Right back had to pick the ball out of the for him!

Have they called a press conference yet? Wouldn't that be the usual forum for such an announcement?

I recall being on the pop side a few years back when Lew Pope turned up on a TV gantry on the roof the old stand. He was to my amusement greeted by 1200 popsiders all chanting 'Jump Jump, Jump, Jump!'

When I first read the name I was a little confused aswell however agree with CPs thoughts and it is actually a more personal touch than just say 'The Bristow Stand'. Whilst I don't think intentional I also think that in future peoples curiosity behind the origins of 'the bench' may create a nice legacy about Mr Bristow being a true supporter rather than someone who once bunged a load of money our way. Thumbs up from me!

Hello All from an ex Grammar School bey exciled to the desert.
Gutted my lifelong nickname of 'Pickels' was rejected as a username having been a supporter for 28years (I was here first :rules: )

Would be good to hear from any other gulls in the Gulf/UAE (other than Dave Jackson).

Cheers

Mattymoos (aka Pickels)
