Fan of Big Tone

Thanks to Lynn for giving us an insight into Lifeline, as a member of many years I can heartily recommend it to anyone who has the interests of the club at heart, forget the National Lottery YOU WON'T WIN THAT but you might win Lifeline and at the same time you will be helping the club you love. You know it makes sense, join today.

I recommend anyone who has the club's interests at heart to join Lifeline, forget the National Lottery you are never going to win that, join Lifeline and help the club you love and at the same time have a chance to win something yourself.

When I was younger me and my mate used to practice corners down the Trent Embankment near where we lived. I always remember telling him to "stick it on my Hateley" so I could pretend to be Tony and power it into the net with my head. Also remember singing "Have we told you lately Hateley that we love you" at the Lane.

My all time favourite player, as you can tell from my username. Thanks for this brilliant write up, I can remember when Big Tone "came back home", what an atmosphere there was at Meadow Lane that day against Northampton, 21,000 in the fourth tier! What we'd give for half that attendance now.

An interesting read, thanks Super Ram. I wonder what those people who played mob football would think if they saw the premiership players of today. Looking forward to the next instalment.

When Joe asked me to take part I told him my memory was rubbish and I would probably disgrace myself, I was right. Lol. I enjoyed taking part though, I look forward to a bit of a ribbing from Magpiejue at the next home game.

Sorry to hear you were disheartened after the fans forum Joe. If that is the case with other fans also then it is a shame because it is an opportunity lost by the club to galavanise the fans and to give them hope for next season and maybe even encourage them to buy season tickets. I remember going to a fans forum a few years back and I came back feeling great and full of hope for the future, that's how it should be.

You wait till I see Super Ram. Well done magpiejue, a worthy winner, I hope you didn't call on your mum for help. :-)

Boo, Magpieju beat me, I'll never live it down. :-( Legend?? More like Leg End Lol

What lovely memories, I hope to take my Grandson to the Lane when he's older, he's 4 at the moment and we've got a great relationship already. I'm sure your Grandad would be proud of you as you are of him.

I like reading other fans views too, keep them coming and I wouldn't mind answering some questions in the future.

This is really good being able to read Ray's comments, thanks to Ray and of course Joe for making it possible.
