Usual sporting dinner fare. A collection of ex Rovers players, compared by Bruce Bannister, recounting stories from their playing days. 3 course meal, chance to catch up with friends from the past, talk sh*t and drink too much. I stayed overnight and went to the Plymouth game the next day. That was the last time saw us play really well, coming back from 2 down and should have won. Mo Bell, her of the Blue Diamond Club, organised ticketing etc, the sort of thing she has been doing for decades now. There is a Blue Diamond Club event coming up at the Air Museum in Filton. But you are barred from attending. |

But you are barred from attending. We went to the Trentham Garden Centre at Stoke last December to see the lights, very impressive indeed. Now you have pointed the way, we might just join the Blue Diamond Club for free and bump into you at an event soon... |

Yes, he enjoys vetting, click the link at the top and it gives all the details of how and why we are barred, to quote the big O. |

I am sure you wouldn't be barred and he would probably love your company! He enjoys a brisk discussion over a pint, even with issues you may disagree on, as I have with him on occasions!  |

Unfortunately the big O is correct about me being barred, a guess on his part as he did not know for sure if i have ever played or worked for BRFC. |

When clicking on Join Blue Diamond Club, the link takes you to information on how to join the BRFPA. I thought that the Blue Diamond Club was something which Roger Brinsford started, for supporters of a certain age? |
