Just looking through some old City stuff just to give my lad something else to look at (He's suffering from Acute Sky Blue Withdrawal Syndrome), and I came across this.

Not a terrible idea in and of itself, but £100k and £50k are pretty big sums, even for our Leamington-based supporters.

Did anyone take it up, I wonder?

 

[James Smith]

Yeah some did it was in the press at the time. Two that I remember were Geoff Mann the architect bloke who had the suit made for the cup final, and David Shortland who is something to do with property I think, certainly seen the Shortland name on some building development.

How things can change! It all looks like a sick joke now.

The last page is laughable in our current situation. "Vision, Ambition, Determination, Good Fortune...and Your Support." Under this mob every single one of those has gone.

I wonder what happened with the money? Presumably they got it back.

Don't know- Oi Simon there's something you could investigate and write a story on.

remember "Destination Europe" under Don Howe? Within days he'd left and Booby G was promoted from asst to manager.

I saw a few of her videos in the 80s. Big girl. Don't remember "Destination Europe" though. Have you got a copy.

Booby G

You know when Fletcher was on about "Operation Premiership" all them years back, was he talking about his club Burnley?

Jackpot...........
