As a child in the Goldstone NW terrace, I had a crate,
and a hardboiled egg for halftime
And my dad had a flask of coffee.

All pretty rare now, though I bet there are still a few flasks on the go.

Hither (sometimes Thither)
Before i came to Brighton and had my surgery i was raised in Somalia and had a seeing-eye hyena that the authorities in those days allowed me to take with me wherever i was going. For the first few months at the Goldstone as my sight became clearer they'd let me take it in. In my packed lunchbox i'd have a couple of Trio's for me and a chopped, but still bloody wildebeest vertebrae in there for Henrietta to munch on. I'd salivate over the jinking runs of Mark Barham whilst Henrietta would sometimes pring to alert when a child sought its father in the crowd and her innate cunning kicked into action. Her leash, fortunately, was attached to my glove and when i felt her aroused i'd tighten my grip and threaten her with the scorpion sting i had adhered to the front of my big blindboy boot. She ate a lot of stray cats though, which i didn't mind. I emailed Barber this year about the possibility of taking in a similar creature to the Amex, as my sight deteriorates with age, but typically that PC leech said no.

:annoyed:My Dad and his mates always used to take a 'lucky orange' for half time refreshments (satsumas were also considered appropriate). The consumption of said fruit did, sometimes, appear to have some effect - the most notworthy being a late eating of the orange whilst 2-0 down at Liverpool in 1991. One orange later and the Mike Small/Johnny Crumplin/John Byrne inspired comeback was ON! Great days. Now a few pints of harveys and a pie seem to have replaced this tradition - much to the chagrin of my waistline :annoyed:
