Nostalgia in my wallet

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Blades related? Yes.

Money related? No.

I was going through my wallet the other day and I came across something that made me realise how far we have slumped and what has happened to our club in less than 7 years when it was supposed to have been "Europe in 5 years"

I chucked it without a second thought but have thought about it since and my thoughts went back to the "Triple Assault" season and the rise to the Premiership. It made me realise that the other link was to a legendary and special place that has seen a similar (in my opinion) fall from grace.

I know this is cryptic but I wondered if anybody else on here might have had, or still has, the same thing in their wallet.

Right, firstly, it's not a condom!

Clues? Credit card size and refers to a legendary Blades meeting place.

Any guesses?

Not hazarding a guess, but if it's a condom, i'd hazard a guess that his expiry date was a long, long time ago!

Loyalty card of a kind but I did say a legendary Blades meeting place.

As in a legendary meeting place for Blades not a meeting place for a legendary Blade!

It was issued by the legendary meeting place for Blades prior to the 2006-2007 season

 

[shorehamview]

It can't have been that legendary, nobody knows what you're talking about.

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

i would have thought the only legendary one was sportsman. if its not that, or the cricketers i give up. if its the bridge inn, i really give up.

Ah, but the one I was especially thinking about was the Sportsman Premier Pass...



It's not the same is it these days, - a bit like us.

A slightly random point, but nostalgia is a selective beast. Just over seven years ago people were abusing Warnock at the end of an average season, doubting we'd ever go up.

But then McCabe funds Danny Webber, Paul Ifill and HMS, and lo and behold we're promotion material. Things can turn round with a bit of luck and judgement.
