I presume they blamed it on immigrants or the death of Diana or house prices or "superfood"?

God awful publication and should, really, be banned.

Please tell all dear boy. please tell all.

It would be nice to think another record was broken, but lets make sure first. I await Budleighs confirmation with interest.
I love watching clocks. I am looking for a nice wall clock myself after the beautiful one that hung in my Grandfathers sitting room was sold without any of the Grandchildren being given a chance to have it.
The Germans loved them as well. I am not surprised you love them Andy. I bet it's you who gets really anguished when they go wrong. I can just see you now before the clock getting really angry. listening to it tick, as you say. "Ve haf Veys of Making to tock".

Right, I'll get me coat.

Actually running a clock shop (or shoppe - I presume they are vintage antique clocks?) sounds like a perfect job. Sitting there admiring such beautiful craftsmanship, listening to tick tocks of a hundred clocks and painstakingly cleaning and restoring them. I'd take that over working at B&Q any day of the week.

One of the nicest blokes going. Goes by the name of Leigh and runs a clock shoppe. Knows the history of the club inside out and is free with his information. I've sent him a begging PM and he's doing some investigating.

Who is Budleigh?

They still think that Mansfield played in our away kit, despite one look at the FLS showing otherwise. I'd take anything and everything they say with a large pinch of salt.

Where's Budleigh when you need him?

Matt.

tbh Matt I got it from the BBC stats. I haven't looked anywhere else for it though. Take your point about their unreliability too. They are often useless and inaccurate.

Yes, I saw Pat Kruse's own goal and then Phil Sandercock scored a second own goal just before half time! But we came back and secured a 2-2 draw against Cambridge who were the league leaders. Amazing game

... and Jim Fryatt a Gulls striker in the 1960's is credited with scoring the fastest goal ever in the Football League ... after just 4 seconds for Bradford Park Avenue against Tranmere Rovers!
