    ... and a very good friend.

    I've known Dave for decades since we stood on the Fulwell End together. He's great company and always a laugh. I'm sure a few on here will know him and have sampled the pies and stotties he brings to away games.

    This latest book is full of true Sunderland stories with names changed to protect the guilty <laugh>

    If anyone would like to put a thread on Newcastle 606, Rocker Report or RTG I'd be obliged. I've messaged Chris Waters and the club but no response yet.

    I don't mind posting it on RTG or the mags board.
    Hoy a link up or whatever info you want sharing.
    I could just link this page to the mags board.
    Probably could on RTG although not sure if linking other forums on there is within their rules.
    I'm sure I'll get a warm reception on RTG seen as how popular you are on there ;) :D


    Mentioning him sharing pies and stotties, reminds me of peeps who took Thermos flasks and bait boxes in the ground for matches years ago.
    I bet grounds won't let you in with them these days ffs.

    Especially backpacks if you've got a summer tan and not bothered having a shave :D

    Cheers mate, very kind.

    I'm very popular with all the decent lads who I see at away games, it's the non-attending dopes like HKP, The Rat, etc, who have a prroblem with me. ...

    ...tbh, I didn't have any time for them when I posted on there.

    Even on the Mag board I get on well with Sombrero, QWOP and a few others who can take it and give it back without twisting.

    If you could post the photo, from above, and this link ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1789964377/?tag=not606-21

    ... plus whatever you choose to say that would be wonderful.

    Thanks again.

    I can't post photos on RTG since tinypic or whatever stopped.
    And i don't use any other hosting site.
    Cheeses of Nazareth recommended that one back in the day.
    Why the fook rtg don't let you link pics straight off like here is beyond me ???

    I'll do it now

    Dave's book is going well and he's now been invited to talk about it on Total Sport.

    He's a great lad, a real character and great Sunderland supporter ...

    ... I'm looking forward to meeting up with him, his wife and sons at Gillingham.

    @Nig would you mind dropping this onto the RTG thread, cheers.

    "Hi David,

    Hope you're well.

    My colleague Nick Barnes passed on your details.

    I was intrigued by the title of your book, and Nick said you'd be a great guest for our Total Sport show. I wondered if you might be free on Monday evening next week, from around 7.30, to come on and talk about the book, and chat North East football generally?

    It'll be me, John Anderson and Marco Gabbiadini.

    It'd be great to get you on if you're up for it. Let me know what you think!

    Simon."

    I can attest to this. I needed some advice on mine and he was very generous with his time and experience.

    Very happy to see him getting some wins on the board. Much deserved.

    Happy to post it mate but I can't find the thread I created.
    Can you follow the link I posted in this thread to it ?

    Looks like the thread there has been deleted mate.
    Pretty sad move if it has ???.


    Let me know and I'll put another link up ower there. ;)

    Any mention of my name and threads are deleted.

    This lad is a true Sunderland supporter for 50 years and they allow Mags to rule the roost over there.

    Just do what you think's best mate, no need to mention me ....

    .... thanks 'He who must not be named'.
