Season › 2023-24 › General Forum I need a beer By Mike Gaynes 19/09/2023 Share: It's been a stressful few years, and it's only getting worse. So I've decided to cope by drinking. The only thing I ever drink is Guinness, and the only place I ever drink it is on Merseyside. So it's past time. My last one was in 2018, a lifetime and a pandemic ago, at the Midland, in the distinguished company of Sir John Sr, Pete M, Rob H, Brian W, both Abrahams, DK, Andy C, John R and an old sailor named Jimmy… right before the Pickford Derby. Before that it was spring 2017 at the Winslow and the Midland before the Leicester and Burnley wins, with Pete and Rob and Keith H and my Magic Man Kev Johnson and some past TW denizens (David Greenwood, Patrick Murphy, Kevin Tully). I’m overdue. WAY overdue. So I’m coming over from The States for the Luton and Bournemouth matches. Before the 3-1 win over Luton, Pete and I will be at the Harlech to meet friends old and new. Come join us. Reader Comments (11) Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission. Comments are the responsibility of the poster.

Paul Ferry 2 Posted 19/09/2023 at 18:58:42 Have a fantastic few days in and around the ground and say hi from me to all the great lads you will meet at the Harlech and elsewhere in the city (say a special hello to Pete Mills and Rob Halligan, will you please) and on your travels up to. the Highlands! Brian Williams 3 Posted 19/09/2023 at 19:11:36 I'll be there bro! Dennis Stevens 4 Posted 19/09/2023 at 21:36:20 & I thought this would be about the song by Reel Big Fish! Danny O’Neill 5 Posted 19/09/2023 at 22:04:05 Looking forward to meeting you in person Mike.Brentford first and then Villa. Peter Mills 6 Posted 20/09/2023 at 08:45:47 It'll be a busy day for Mike as he's got 2 boys matches to take in before we set off for The Harlech. We did think about switching to The Bramley Moore but County Road's proximity to Goodison swayed it. We'll try and get there just after 1:00 pm, depending on the lads' kick-off times.It's a pity he wasn't here yesterday, he would have enjoyed a cracking FA Cup replay at Marine, the Mariners going through 2-1. Danny O’Neill 7 Posted 20/09/2023 at 18:53:06 See you at the homeland, Mike. Neil Copeland 8 Posted 20/09/2023 at 19:20:32 Hey Mike, looking forward to meeting you, see you at The Harlech!Danny, see you at Brentford…….and Villa! Mark Murphy 9 Posted 20/09/2023 at 19:23:31 I can't make the Luton fixture but I'd love to come up for the Bournemouth game. I'm trying to get a ticket but missed my window on the members' site. If anyone has or knows of a spare for the Bournemouth game please let me know. Text 07708 615684.UTFT Mike Gaynes 10 Posted 20/09/2023 at 22:03:01 Looking forward to it, Danny and Neil! Mark Murphy 11 Posted 24/09/2023 at 16:39:24 Right! Sorted for a Luton ticket after all. Upper Glwadys - I think it will be the first time in that particular part of the ground for me!Train strike means it's more complicated than it should be but looking forward to it immensely. UTFT!
