Chadd sidings is where all the trains parked up well away for Deadmans Lane, We used to put a penny (1d) on the tracks...wait...then collect a piece of flat copper, You could get 2 black jacks for a penny in the 60s, We were minted ? You could get 4 blackjacks or fruit salads for a penny but that could have been in the 50's. Those were the days?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the backwoods of Belper mind.... 1/2 a pence each at the Tunnel shop when I were a lad. Then a brief period when the half pence was withdrawn you'd get two for a penny, they soon stopped that though. Probably 5 for a quid nowadays. Only went it because they had the WWF arcade game, 10p a pop to be The Ultimate Warrior or Hulk Hogan, bargain Edited January 10, 2022 by Rev Kathcairns and RammingStone66 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more proof the efl and other clubs want us gone I still sense this is getting closer and closer to someone getting into preferred bidder status - the administrators are talking to Boro to resolve that situation -someone is telling by the administrators to turn down those bids -clubs trying to get our players before the door shuts -if we are allowed to extend and sort out some contracts I could be wrong, and there’s a lot of noise right now, but none of that is now saying ‘there’s a lot to sort out still’. I’m putting my cards on the table and saying this must now be close r_wilcockson, DCFC1388, Ramarena and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 1 hour ago, jono said: They can cause as much trouble as possible, they already are, but they can’t get themselves on a creditors list. They haven’t provided goods and services, they haven’t been granted a court order for damages. This is commerce and law. The only thing they are is a commercial risk for a would be buyer. It’s interesting to note ..have we seen a notice of legal action served on Derby County by either club ? Has any legal action been started ? It’s a Damp squib, paper tigers, vexatious nonsense. I am staggered (but not surprised) that the EFL has been so dilatory, incompetent and weak. They should, by any reasonable judgment, have told Boro and Wycombe to stop challenging their authority and damaging the reputation of the competition. ( Is there a possible points deduction for doing this ? ) Absolutely, I phrased my “strong arm the EFL” comment poorly. I meant it to mean they would use the EFL to poo stir! jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember penny arrows and at decimalisation they stayed at a penny. I felt robbed ?. Anyone remember the small dairy milks that were 2d or 3d . my gran would give us 6d to spend in the cheap corner of the sweet shop. It was tough work maximising the take in terms of volume per penny ? fizzes, love hearts, black jacks, penny arrows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make an argument on bias for 3 of those people, although you would hope and probably believe that they are beyond partisanship. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
