Here’s a flyer from the above Newcastle game. One for the train spotters on here. How many of them stations are still with us. 3hrs 15 mins from Deal for 11/3p. and all to see a nil nil draw.
Is that bill treagold or whatever his name was who used to run coaches for the supporters club? is the other fella wally his sidekick
Bill Treadgold was an absolute gentleman . Every time my lot got on his coach he used to greet us by saying. I hope you boys are going to behave today. Of course we will Bill we replied. And sometimes we actually did. Happy days .
Bill was a good bloke but a bit like Murray his "I wish they would just bulldoze the Valley to the ground so we can concentrate on the football" Quote in the dark Sellhurst years led to him losing a lot of my respect.
Wally was a legend. I believe he died as he got off the coach at Sunderland in November 1997? Always remember him telling me throughout the 70 and 80s that Les Berry was never a footballer .
Wally certainly was a legend . Regarding Bill I never knew he came out with that comment. But even so I won't let it cloud my memory of the man.
Remember going on the coaches when Bill was the organiser would of been 1980-82, once I left school I only ever went away by train.
Brought a tear to my eye this one......that little lad could just as easily been me. Complete with what looks like a navy blue hooded duffle coat into the bargain. Oh so evocative.

He knew how to treat a lady, didn't he?!
Only really ever saw it at Millwall at the back of the old side terrace. The "Swimming and Diving Club" as they called it.....
Celebrating our win over their rivals.

However, I am a good few years younger than Rambo.
