Sauce I’m pulling all my plastic shite - it’s just a wind up - you have plenty ancestry to be involved in town/ Boro and I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
As it goes although I am born and bred Nuneaton I’ve lived in Hinckley now as long as I lived in Nuneaton. Half my family are from County Durham and great grandad was wounded on the 17th of September 1916 near Martinpuich as part of the Flers - Courcelette battle during the Somme offensive - He was with 5th DLI and would have used the 50th Northumbrian field ambulance - I would have thought your grandad was in Royal Warwickshire- perhaps south midland divison. All told the stretcher bearers were very brave individuals.
As for Boro - seriously I’m really pleased that the club is now seemingly being run properly by those that care and hopefully they’ll be no more of the past shenanigans.
Me - I’d be happy to watch again but the insults aimed at me - and others by those who supported JG when we tried to stand up to the hubris aimed at long standing fans has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I cared about the club as did others but we were vilified.
If the club and more importantly the coop- who I was once a member of issued a statement condemning those who aimed shite at me and others through personal messages, threats and insulting songs (just because we were not happy about how the club was being run) then I would be more than happy to support again and I’d probably enjoy it. It would be a token gesture but that would be fine by me - some can forgive and carry on - not so easy for me.
