My dad used to clean the windows of The Valley and told me Harold Hobbis was a right miserable old bugger. The pub used to have a Mynah Bird which was just about the best thing about it. I went in a few times on the way to a match but always thought it was a bit of a dump to be honest.
I remember buying some of the old floodlights from the Valley years ago thinking I would make a feature out of them in my garden. Ten years later they're still sitting in my garage
I actualy got caught trying to aquire this earlier in the year . Was trying to get the apprentice up a triple ladder when approached by some old duffer threatening to call the police grrrrrrrr

It's no doubt much bigger than you think and weighs a great deal......as much as 50 Kilos or more with the framework etc.
I'll watch out for it though and maybe make an offer if the bidding doesn't get too silly.
im intersted but cant think of the life of me where i would put it? in the back garden?
im out. Tavern will just have to get a pair of socks for Xmas.
LOL
£350?
I know for sure that the current highest bidder is a lifer.
;o)
Had a great night in there after the first game back in 1992. Can think of at least half a dozen who post on here who were there that night.
Nearly 20 years ago.
Depressing.
When big John had it, pre match food and after match food, along with beer.
