Independent Rs Messageboard

I was there in the Home end behind the goal the Rookery as it was then known. I had a perfect view of Bridges goal because the winner was scored at that end of the ground. Cue the chorus paraphrasing that old Beatles/ Marmalade pop song of the era...... Oh Blah Di Oh Blah Da Barry Bridges La La La L...

He has been on the books since January. its nice to know that he has now put in a decent

Well done for posting that up Steve.
