Confirmed New sponsorship & Home kit Launch (Spud Bros)

Confirmed New sponsorship & Home kit Launch (Spud Bros)

I'll never forget the Torquay semi final. Due to a holiday, Scarborough, I couldn't attend. In those pre Internet days, I listened avidly for updates on the radio, BBC national sports station. At 10pm, with PNE 3-1 up, the programme went off air.
Presuming PNE wouldn't score again and would therefore lose on away goals, the match was almost over, I concluded the evening by getting pissed in a Scarborough pub, Fat Rascals.
Next morning, I went into town and bought a paper. In them days it was the Daily Mirror. I turned to the back pages, and........
I drew attention to myself with a loud noise of approval and nearly knocked an old lad over with my ensuing celebratory jig. My female companion, now Mrs jj, was suitably unimpressed.

I've got to say that some of us on here are as bad as the Facebook lot. I read people disagreeing about PNE Issues then the abuse starts, including words like c--t. Sometimes its hard to believe were on the same side.

At least it's only online stuff. Back in the day at Cov away (Highfield Rd), I broke up a fight between 2 PNE fans at HT cz one blamed the other for pushing into the burger queue!!

The fella at the front in the light jacket had been there since the evening before to be first in the queue. They weren't even opening first thing in the morning it was like 3:30pm.

That's some serious level attention seeking. Worlds gone mad.

I accept that social media is king these days and I’m grateful for the sponsorship and exposure it’s brought but nothing is going to make me actually understand.

It’s just a fucking potato.

I suppose that you could say a big mac is just a bun with a bit of meat on it, and KFC is a bit of chicken with some sauce on it, someone has made a bomb out of them!
Have to say, like you, I don't understand it either but I am an old fart Victor Meldrew type anyway. 🤣

I think he was commenting on the numpties who queue up overnight for a potato, rather than the product itself. Hopefully no one lined up for hours before our first KFC opened!!

Heard CPC are new sleeve sponsor and warm-up shirt sponsor.

They can afford that, just from the amount of cable ties for the flags I've bought over the years.

P.S. I worked there for about a year when I was 17.

Rights of passage.

Can I ask what year that was, and which department?

About 2000 - was only a picker trying to avoid a order that was for 500 individual LED's

Cool, I was there then as well. I had been mostly in Goods-In for 4 years since '96 (and some summer holiday work from Uni in '94 and '95) but in 2000 I moved into the office (special orders/inventory at first), but I still did some picking/packing and Goods-In work as overtime.
We must have crossed paths for sure.

BTW those type of picking 😢orders were so bad for the commission!!
