    The history of submarines doesn't interest me at all.

    How about Bassini's Blog?

    After all, he is, thankfully, history.

    Edit: Curious how that automatically changed his name to 'The Red Helmet'!

    I like the Golden Years suggestion.. or Hornet History.



    PS I think it's a great idea to have a seperate history section. Saves us oldens filling up the main forums with stuff from yesteryear :) Plus it's a great resource for anyone who has an interest in the clubs past.. all in one convenient place.

    Here is the history of one you ate last week, and a promise that you may get to eat it again...


    It's a bit like watching the 'Orns, but with a more comfortable seat.

    In the eighties, while walking up Vicarage Road, there was this lady always shouting "Golden Goals, Golden Goals" and selling these tickets with the time of the first goal on it.

    So, in honour of that yesteryear experience, I suggest you call it "Golden Goals".

    Any movement on this?


    Only if there isnt the wfc history boys will continue to hijack threads until our demands are met! Just kidding but it would be great to see.

    Two suggestions:

    One for the (us?) old farts: "Under the Scoreboard".

    One for the really old farts: "Behind the Scoreboard".

    The really old farts never had a scoreboard though - the nearest they (we) had to one was probably the alphabet thingy where numbers were hung to show half time/full time scores.

    Sadly, 'Behind the Alphabet Thingy' doesn't quite have the same ring to it. :(

    I was trying to allude to that in my second suggestion but I think we have a clear winner. I'm so pleased in playing my part to get there.

    Is the East Stand extension beginning here or was that area always a waste area?

    There appears to be a digger there. So i think it's the start of the extension build.

    Not seen this thread before.

    I'm pleased the hijacking of the New Kits thread has led to this.

    Nice move Dom - thanks for actioning.
