@adrianfclarke Brilliant Adrian! I’ve been enjoying your writing for ages, but I didn’t realise you were local, I had a pathetic/excited shiver of recognition when I saw Tyre World 😂
@Biggies_MaIIs At the time I remember the Collymore fee was said to be the equivalent of a whole season’s ticket revenue. Not sure how that stacks up to these figures.

@RetrogamesNow@sniffpetrol I was at Longbridge at the exact same time as you, BMW era, but I’ve still got my uniform (sorry!) I was in Powertrain, in East Works. What were you doing?
