Sometimes went to the White Hart before the games. It then became Chateau 6 and drank there for a while but was very expensive. It's now a Thai restaurant.

They had discos on a Friday night.  Shame the pubs are so sh*t nowadays

Went into the Lillie a few months ago. It's changed a lot since Pat and Mary retired. And a lot more expensive. After the games we tend to go into the Goose. Before the games we try different pubs. I read the other day that there is a proposal to demolish the Prince of Wales and the houses near it as part of the re-development of the Earl's Court area. A shame as like the Prince of Wales. It will be interesting to see how many pubs change and indeed survive when the club plays elsewhere whilst the ground is redeveloped.

My mate was actually  talking with Mary yesterday over the phone she's keeping well he told me.   The Lilly was great for a lock in.

I think it's 78/79 because you can see an advert for Ron Harris testimonial. He played a current team against the 1970 cup final team and the 1970 team won     1-0!!!! it's bottom left of the shed in front of the fenced off bit where the floodlight was.

Good to hear that Mary is well. A lovely lady. I know she often went to games if a spare ticket became available.

The Arsenal v Spurs game. We were due to play West Ham at Upton Park. I was on the way to the game when heard about an hour before kick-off that the match had been called off. If I remember correctly the match was cancelled due to a frozen pitch. A few days later I spoke to an Arsenal fan who was at the match and he told me that a load of Chelsea fans were in the Clock End.

We had a tasty firm out for the West Ham game and it struck me as strange the game was cancelled due to a frozen pitch. It wasn't that cold and other London games went ahead. Shame as we may have had a result

You're right, it wasn't that cold. I drove to the game and the roads were fine. Game was postponed to April of that year and we won 2-1. Nevin scored with a brilliant header from a Dixon cross. Usually the other way around.

Think we met at the Shakespeare in Victoria for the re arranged fixture. A really good game as I remember. Love. Beating those pikey big mouths.
