Haha I remember that. Think it was Steve Yorke who gave the updates? At the time it seemed alright!

I don't get it. I just don't get it. If were losing money on 1 of the lower budgets in the league with decent attendances, non football related income coming in to the club and coopers transfer fee, there must be at lot of clubs in this league up sheet creek.

He was the founder of this board (hence Bob's Board). I believe he passed away some years ago of Motor Neurone disease, so the board was re-named as a memorial to him. He was very active in the (much smaller) online community we had back in the mid-late 90's and early 2000's (Anyone remember the SpireNet mailing list? Jesus - I am showing my age)

Good ole Spirenet one of my better ideas at the time in 1995

Really sad about Bob his wife Sue died of cancer then he went all to soon afterwards and before his will was sorted there only child Martin died as well you couldnt make it other than in a soap
