I recall a conversation with a fellow fan in the pub a couple of years ago.He said that the both of us will never see Cov City at Wembley or us back in the top flight in our lifetime. Well he's wrong on the Wembley bit and as we're both only in our sixties he may be wrong too on the top flight part ? I may have to live well into my nineties though to watch us in the Premier !

I'm fairly certain you'll see your 90s BBR. Not sure we'll be back in the top fight by then though!

A customer today told me he is going to Wembley and he's in his eighties. He is one of those fit sprightly pensioners who does a paper round !
Stealing jobs from teenagers.

Sounds like the guy I had chat with in the buffs club after the Brexit vote, then continued chatting as walking up through Tescos.
Extremely cogent and spritely.
85, but would easily have passed for 65.

Mentioned this before but it fascinates me to see really old people doing stuff that would put younger people to shame. Watched a prog a while back where it showed mountaineers returning to a tough climb they did decades ago. The leader was 80 odd ! Fit as a fiddle and was ahead of much younger climbers. I thought I was fit going up ladders !

None of the mentality to sit on their arses is there?

Same as how they are always mostly smart, shirt, trousers etc.

There's been a great prog on telly about the original SAS formed way back to combat Hitler etc. A few are still alive and sharp and articulate. What they did and saw was horrific but thankfully even though they lost their mates,a few lived to tell their tales.Bet they'd still be able to handle themselves !

We might make the top flight of non-league. Or we could win the FA Trophy or Vase.
