I am 80 years old on Monday October 15 and I have been a supporter since 1950,, though I did see County hammer Aldershot 7-0 at Somerton park a season or so earlier, when George Roffi headed four goals, the first full season County played Nottingham Forest in the opening game and lost 0-3 so they owe me a good win today , though To be fair they are good value for money since Mr Flynn has been manager.. So Good Luck lads

Re: You owe me one County !!
2Bob, any kind of good result today against promotion challengers will be great. A win today and even I will start believing!
Re: You owe me one County !!
3 I'd say that you've been paid back fairly well outside the box volley and a last minute winner.
Re: You owe me one County !!
4Brilliant win, Though I had a visons of it going the other way---, Stevenage were a good side especially,Campbell Ryce, their number 20, but David Pipe made a big difference getting the ball forward , But Hey, who's complaining ?
County,-- you, beauty's I think you can stay at the top KEEP IT GOING LADS !!!! Bob Bassett,

Re: You owe me one County !!
768 years supporting County. They owe you more than one Bob, that's for sure!!!
I hope you have many more years of frustration, misery and despair. With the occasional moment of ecstasy.
Many happy returns.

9Hey I've just remembered How about this?.......I'm one of the few that cannot say, Why should I go to see them when they are
bad ?--- They never came to see me, !! I was in the Royal; Gwent feeling very low, and I was woken up, with a number of people gazing down on me------after a couple of minutes, it suddenly dawned on me as I recognized Colin Addison and Howard Goddard amongst the faces---I never forgot Mr Addison saying "Come on Bob, Hurry up and get well--WE need you back at Somerton Park" !!! He made it sound like an order !!---------so I did!!--I wasn't going to argue with him !!

11Bloody hell you’ve suffered even longer than I have ! Roffi had just retired when as a little kid I crossed the reen at the bottom of Hamilton St clutching my money for the County and buying my program just by the catholic church! Have a great birthday!
Re: You owe me one County !!
12Many years ago, when a former County director Mr Johnathon Collingbourne was about 10 or 11 years old , the owner of the company I was driving for, Collingbourne Fuels Ltd of Lillleshall Street Newport , Mr Jack Collingbourne Snr, after some persuasion from a certain Mike Lewis another County official sponsored the first, or one of the first football matches ,at Somerton park and we, Johnathon and I were in the Directors box for a match with Bradford City when a hot air balloon took off from the centre of the pitch Colin Addison was the County manager at that time--I would not have believed that I would see County play at Wembley not once but twice many years later BUT I DID. ! !

13Happy 80th Birthday Robert.
I can still recall our conversations we used to have in 'A' Block over Spytty many years ago...You , County Exile and myself watching Conference South games.
That's before you went all posh and bought a season ticket and moved nearer the half way line
