Simple Match Fishing Forum

I knew it must have been a boatyard TK because the boat is being launched. I must admit, I didn't recognise that bridge but I assumed it had been knocked down before I was born but I suppose the photo would have to have been a Fox Talbot jobie. I used to live in that area. Our garden wall used to overlook the second pound from Walsall to lock.

I knacked my knee up in about 1973. I use to play for a works team in the Bloxwich Combination Sunday league.

Sorry to ramble but i've just had one or two JD's

Were the old MEB offices where Homeserve is now ?

I had the great pleasure of fishing for MESC Raiders with the great Mr TK
Still have the jacket somewhere Tony

Nice one Arch Bet you've loved the last couple of winters we've had with ice accretion on the overheads bringing them down 

Makes you realise what a small world it is Cheslynboy - forgot to mention thee working out of Walsall for a couple of decades as well. Make sure you take care of that MESC coat - its a collectors item

Then there's also Cotti and Millie who were jointers at MEB b4 'taking the money and running'........as well as Roberto D who came to Walsall from Wton offices in 1982. He managed to escape last year as well 

We'll have to have an ex MESC reunion match...........

I can put it on your favourite venue if you like
