Who's coming to the BOSM then?

I thought they used to put on a good show about 20 years ago, or was
that Notts. I forget.

 

And that forms the crux of my plan. Ride up to The Black Horse on the
9th, have a good meal and a couple of beers, then scarperp early to
Oulton, donning overalls as I go - then return after the race to toast
success. And stay the rest of the weekend getting arseholed.

Can't see a downside.

 

Buggroff, does it. It'll be fine - there's plenty of space in the
beer garden and at Dodger's point for all the tents likely to need
space. I don't expect many people will be there all day long from
start to finish in any case, so like Loz sez, there will be spaces
appearing over the weekend. And if it gets a bit crowded - well it
all adds to the fun.

No worries, no organisation required.

 

Oh more recently than that. As a kid I rememebr seeing the police use
horses to rush a group of rowdy millwall fans after a football match, I
think there were a few hospitalisations after that.

The shop next to my friends house had the windows put through moments
before the action. Whatever happened to that kind of thing?

 

No it's not, it is an open invitation to everyone in the world who reads
UKRM <gulp>

Or, indeed, possible.

 

I was thinking of 1984 and the fun and games that went on then.

Lancashire put on the biggest.

 

You poor bastards. You have my (genuine) sympathy.

 

I'll try and make this one.

 

Might turn up for a bit of a chinwag but that's about it (as per last year).

Hopefully will avoid being nicked as well
