John ????? Bob Lord Stand

Post by DCWat » Sat Mar 02, 2019 7:23 pm

A bit of a random question...

I sit next to a nice bloke called John in the Bob Lord stand (O77). I don’t know his surname.

He’s not been on for a good few games and I was just wondering if anyone knows him and can confirm if he’s OK?

When did he stop attending? I knew a John who sat on the very front row and attended until about 3/4 years ago.

Only the last few home games, DC.

Thinking the last one may have been Fulham but could be wrong.

DCWat, aren't you sat very close to an older man called Stuart and 2 or 3 of his mates, on row O. I would guess that as he's sat in the same seat for years, he would know of O77. If it helps, I could ring Stuart and ask, if he knows why he's not been on.

Dear John,
I find it hard to write this letter, but I have to tell you the truth.
We never would have expected this day to come. Ever since we were separated from each other, our letters were the only way we could stay in touch. We promised one another that no matter what, despite our Feuding Families, despite you being called to the front, we will one day be together, either Happily Married or Together in Death.
I write to tell you that everything that was between us is over. We're finished.
I cannot stand life in separation anymore. I simply can't love you anymore, and I have found someone else. Enclosed you will find the ring you gave me.
Don't grieve — you are neither the first nor the last to get such a letter.
Good bye, my former love. You will never see me again.

All you have to do is stand up and shout "John" very loudly.

Quite a few will answer you.

That's if they have their hearing aids turned up.
Only joking, I'm probably nearly old enough to be accepted into the Bob Lord Ultras.

I think the Bob Lorders have moved beyond 'Ultras', they are Bob Lord Fossils.

I know someone who’s wife ran off with a tractor salesman. He got a letter like that. It was a John Deere letter.

Cheers BFC - I don’t know anyone called Stuart but that’s not to say there isn’t... only know the names of a few around me.

Hopefully he’s fine but other than televised games, it’s unusual for him to miss a game, so just wondering / hoping he’s OK.

Sounds like I'm directly behind you DCWat, albeit by a couple of rows. I'm Block 3 T 76.

There's a John in the row in front of us but he never misses a match and has been there for many years.

DCWat, I’ve spoken to the contact, who I thought may know of John O77. He doesn’t know him, but thinks he may come from the Keighley area.
I’m another sat in Block 3 but just above you to your right, facing the pitch. Maybe we should get together with Royboy under the concourse and enjoy a Bene n Hot one match and recall some football memories/stories.

Thanks BFC.

He’s definitely from the Burnley area - just annoyed I don’t know his surname.

That sounds good - ashamed to say I’ve never had a Bene n Hot! :)

Does the guy being described as “ A very nice chap” simply mean he’s ancient ? As there must be a fair few johns in the BL

1. He’s had enough of Dyche football
2. He’s on a booze,coke and prossies binge in Thailand
3.He’s dead
4. Perhaps all 3
