Where are they now? Ticker Tape Welcomes.

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

Took a bag of ticker tape to Barnsley in the FA Cup (1989?). Ian Stevens equalised and my mate chucked 95% of it into the air and handed me the bag with the remainder. I gleefully threw the dregs into the air in celebration, only to feel the long arm of SYP on my shoulder and was then escorted from the ground. I had the last laugh as we lost 3-1. 8)

That was the game when SYP charged our fans on the terraces for no apparent reason, on more than one occasion, the cnuts!

I remember being thrown out at Preston in the mid 60s for holding a toilet roll in each hand up in the air, I tried to explain to the copper that I had to take them home to my sick mother. The bastard wouldn't believe me and threw me and my mate out, paid to get in again and spent the game worrying about if he would see us again.

Can you still get hold of rolls of Izal Medicated? I'm a little reluctant to use my quilted aloe vera stuff here. :oops:

I've never understood the urge to go to a concert. All that pushing and shoving, and pogoing and swaying and holding your arms in the air like you just didn't care does absolutely nothing for me.

On top of that all the 'liquid' that gets thrown about.

If it's cold you're ok.

Staying on the toilet roll theme when did they start putting 'bobbles' on one side? I never know which way round it should go. Should the 'bobbled' side face 'arse-inwards' as to 'collect' more or should it face 'arse-outwards' to provide extra essential grip to the hands for those tricky moments?

Plus have you recently used the last toilet paper in the house?

The cardboard tube used to give you an 'incase of emergency break glass' option but now the friggin' things got a shiny plastic coating on it.

Some bastards done that on purpose.
I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box' I just wish you'd have a rummage around in it once in a while.

I'm living the lottery winner's life when it comes to toilet rolls - the missus insists on the double layer puppy extra quilted malarkey: it's so luxurious and thick that you only manage on average one shit per roll! So I wouldn't be able to afford chucking that sort of money about.
That's not a leopard!

It's MY thread and I'll talk about what I like so NUR!

I was talking about things that get thrown at events. I'd rather get a roll of Izel on the back of the nut than feel the warm kiss of a plastic pint pot at a Justin Beiber gig.

And Bish, funny you should say that. I've already had Peter Kay, Paddy McGuiness and Jason Manford's agents on the phone.

I've got some killer stuff about air travel, white dog shit and milk cartons too if anyone's interested.
