Myself, brucie, Hector and tomogull - any more?

What's the criteria Wivel?

Take out tomogull and it can be the kn•b head group

Will have been supporting the Gulls for 50 years from next year(start of 2014/15 season).

Gee ...... thanks Plainmoorroar. That deserves a pint if we ever bump into each other. Er nope .... it'll have to be a half - gotta make the pension stretch you'll understand.

I reckon there's a few keeping their heads down. Come on - be brave - come out of the closet ! Chunkygull must qualify or be close to it. And Wodger must qualify. Anyone so confused must be an Old Codger :-|

Behind-the-Gulls is now a member of The Old Codgers' Club.
Criteria: (a) knew Plainmoor in the days of the Cowshed
(b) Saw Robin Stubbs in all his glory
(c) Supported United in the great days of the late 60s when we regularly got crowds of 10000+
(d) Said hello to Tommy Northcott and Ernie Pym in the street

Any one of these will do.

I can qualify by a b and c but discount myself under the assumption that whilst I can at times act like a cnut, I'm not one 24/7

Old Codgers? You're just babies, I've been supporting for 54 years, first game 31st March 1959 Torquay v Crystal Palace 11.15 am kick off

Yes-those were the days-sigh.

Unfortunately I qualify as the first game I saw standing in the cowshed was 1st December 1955 vs Southend United,a 3-3 draw,hooked ever since.

bleddy 'ell, steady on, im only 38. crikey, do i come across as an old codger in my posts do i? :-o

mind you the wifes always calling me a moaning old fart or a miserable git or even victor meldrew!

if that qualifies me then i would be honoured to be a member of the club. :~D

Could be worse Chunks, check out Yellowsmiffy! He's nearly 70! :na:

Being associated in any way with Brucie, Wivel and Hector, or catching Herpes. I know which one I'd choose.

remember the Cowshed ? Blimey, I've still got a bit of it somewhere ! Not sure that I'd want to qualify for this though....I'm definitely not old !!!!!! Apparently not as old as Yellowsmiffy (according to AAG ) !!!!!!!!!!
