    So you watched the 1997 pre-lim and still joined up 1998! That's real commitment to the cause Josie.

    Not your fault td. Your defence of being a footscray supporter the 'sensationa '70's' should have been enough to get you off the hook.

    The radio is used actually belonged to my mum. she rarely saw it. If it wasn't tuned to the footy it was on 3xy.

    Could be another thread don't want to derail this one it's great.
    Got all my membership tickets since 84 (cardboard one with Alistair Ford on the cover) except 87 when i went o'seas and 91 which i've lost. I've dragged them through about a dozen house moves.

    I remember that Alister Ford cover. Against Norf at Arden Street from memory. I think Glendenning and McCann, or was it John Laws?

    Anyway, notable shot as I believe it was the only mark ever taken by Alister Ford..

    Looking forward to hear from a particular Woof member who I believe played for the doggies.

    Wow. 5.75 over 60 years. Congrats on 60 years. Please tell us all on the Internet whatever you see in your closed door training present from the club.

    One of our true supporters. That is what it means to be a supporter. Ted and Doug would have loved to watch those guys play. Braybrook Football Club had some very good players for us.
