[Albion] Throwback, err, Wednesday - Cricketers, 1999

[Juan Albion]

In the Cricketers.

Is that you?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Yep. And my lad - who was also at the match last night. And behind us sits that handsome chap with his daughter.

 

[Juan Albion]

Maybe this will jog a few memories. This was a gathering of folks from the Seagulls mailing list.

 

[Long Saulty Seagull]

Bloody hell fire. Some I recognize, some I don't. And a few are still on the list.

 

[rrruss]

OMG. Massive glasses slap bang in the middle!

 

[Jim in the West]

Jim in the West in the front row....yes, those glasses are embarrassing!

 

[rrruss]

Mine or yours Jim!!!!

 

[LadySeagull]

Bloody Hell that's an enormous beer belly hoving into view about 10 minutes before the actual man could have been seen, on the right!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'm there. I can name 95% in the photo. Not done to name names here, except perhaps Ryan, the original owner of the other board, 'the mailing list', which organized the great Cricketers meet up. He had a soft spot for Donny Rovers, and I think they ate him up. Here's to you, Ryan.

This was one of the first, if not the first internet organized get togethers of Albion supporters. It has carried on, with the annual end of season Flying Squad event. And some wonderful cameraderie. The mailing list still exists, as does the Seagulls Fantasy League. Rather sedate compared with NSC, and all its doings, but my first port of call, still.

as overheard by my ex wife of the time: "And we're going up to win the cup, for sausage by the sea" . . . .

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It's almost like a Harry Potter convention invaded.

 

[Juan Albion]

I liked the mailing list, despite various threats to my physical well-being, but for some reason the emails stopped reaching me. I didn't deliberately quit.

 

[Wellesley]

We'll never see a firm the likes of that again.

That's a fair point. I joined the mailing list late on, but it seems to have died a death or I've been cut off.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You won't have been cut off. It may be your pork luncheon meat filter. If not, you can rejoin quite easily. I'm sure someone on here can tell you how. Unfortunatley, willing though I am, presently I have wine to drink and I'm afraid my lake may evaporate, so I'm otherwise indesposed for the moment.

Have you tried contacting our listee mistress? Or perhaps re-subscribing @ http://www.seagulls.org.uk

I don't think I'd own up to being in this picture

[Guinness Boy]

Still wondering how Alan Curbishley sneaked in behind the beer belly.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Why not?

Identity wise or not a fan of replica shirts?
