I think it is one of the most fascinating websites out there, and I have the related book. Definitely worth a look or two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He emailed me the link on the museum website for it, in case anyone wants it! I know, I know, WHAT museum website? Do you need the link, Norman? Thank you, Steve. That would be great. Look forward to hearing from you so I can see what this book is all about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there was hidden/delete involved it was not by me. I would like to see a useful/active New Cross thread and readily give recognition to this one. Obviously there is a tidy-up needed to maintain deserved credence on this thread. To implement that course I give notice that I am considering using HIDE on the New Cross comments I have made - but am wary of doing so as I could stimulate adverse comment? I would appreciate comment/advice on what to do. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nw42 2,048 Posted February 3, 2022 Maybe it's time to put the silly old bugger on ignore, if everyone did it then we'd never see his posts again, he'd never be quoted, it would be as though he didn't exist at all. Although I don't know if the ignore facility covers new thread titles, either way it's nauseating having to trawl through his inane ramblings, he's like a one man wrecking crew and he's probably proud of himself, wouldn't last 5 minutes in a real life setting with normal people, they would just boot him out of the room. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOBBATH 467 Posted February 3, 2022 I was fascinated by the picture of the football game that had the ad for New Cross prominently displayed and an advert for "The Astoria" Old Kent road. I am assuming it was a Millwall game at the Den-am I right? BTW would any historian hazard a guess at the opposition. Great photo-maybe from an old newspaper.?
