Hmm how big is that bag of scratchings.

Guess he came to the game last week as he’s moved back into the area in preparation for this move. I can’t believe he was commuting to Scotland and Colchester from the Midlands!
Probably in the minority but I’d like Solihull to get up into the league one of these seasons to add a bit more interest to the season so signing some decent Football league players will help. If Wilko stays fit he should be scoring 10-15 no problem down there.

KVE still give me nightmares. When I was about 16 I had some fillings done then had a bag of them in the Bush in Pelsall same night. Result: no fillings left and an emergency appointment next day! Oh, the follies of youth.

I’d only go to a bag of pork crunch - no way he’s worth proper scratchings - although I would offer him half a crown goal bonus and a guinea bonus for a hat-trick.

Never fit. Waste of a space. Found his level.

Exactly. And even if we were in talks. We might have only offered what we thought was an amount on par with how valuable we saw him to the squad, so if Solihull see him as a key player and us as a squad player there’s a chance they offered more, and I’m fine with that.
not break the bank for a squad player just to ensure we beat the likes of Solihull, especially when we still need an actual goalscorer rather than someone who will likely miss more games than he plays, or is even available for.

All this has got me thinking about the cockle sellers ,who used to go from pub to pub, selling, er, cockles and mussels. No wheelbarrow though. Kershaws?

It was Kershaws. There were also whelks. I often bought a bag of cockles, but could never see the business model.
I only ever remember them coming into pubs where I was working on a Sunday. So maybe it was a weekend thing.
Was that when you were “on the doors”?

Your name’s not down, you’re not coming in, mate.
Funny you should say , was surprised to see a fish basket seller come in the pub last night.

Always used to sit right down the far end of the lounge in the Duke of York, would wave the cockle guy over, he’d fight his way across the packed pub and then we’d ask him if he had any chicken.
After a couple of years of this had to buy some coronation chicken that had been added to the tray due to all the requests.

I can remember my dad getting mussels from the chip shop after a night down the Rushall labour club. Parsons I think the make was
Fantastic pub back in the day , still decent now.
He’s not even made the solihull squad today so maybe we shouldnt be too fussed about not signing Connor - we need players who can actually step in and play.
