Stumped Up For A Shoebox.
15/2/20 Blues v Brentford, Bee In Dennis.
Yawn, even off the back of three consecutive wins, it was just another home game, bus into town and then rocked up at the Welly, Darryl came in and we talked of our plans for the next and final international weekend of the season, Salford is where he’s heading, I’m off to Barrow, there’s not…… Continue reading 15/2/20 Blues v Brentford, Bee In Dennis.
