Title: 1pm, Old Town Co-Op, Wednesday....
Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 13:07:12
Go along and meet Iffy and our heroes, at the launch of the new STFC merchandise in the C0-Op.....they've a large screen showing  the highlights of our season so far...Yeovil and Forest games, also  available on VT.

 Don't think there are any plans for anymore this season.

I love that shop, used to go there all the time when I lived in Godwin Court.  Fruit and veg ain't that great in there though.

I wasn't knocking it Ash - I think it's a good idea, especially if the council are watching.

 Quite right....the Co-Op recognise the importance to the community of STFC, and do a bit to back it....that's why if anyone is around there tomorrow they could be Loud and Proud and go and show their face.

The Co-op's ace, as long as you don't mind queuing, the assisstants aren't the quickest of cats, even by supermarket standard (appologies if anyone from TEF is or has ever worked in the CO-OP).

We have Scotmid up here and I am sure to be a 'check-out assistant' you need to have an A level in soap dodging.

As I needed some Golden Syrup, I thought I would go to the Co-Op and see what was going on.

O'Hanlon arrived fairly early, with somebody who appeared to be his agent. Iffy, Pook and Bulman all arrived 'fashionably' late...with Iffy looking particularly cool in his baseball hat.  8)

There was a buzz around Co-Op as the OAP's learned of the invasion of papparazzi... I was twice asked "who on earth are they, are they famous?". I also heard some old ladies moaning that some "yobs" are blocking the exit.

The Co-Op staff were asked to search the store for some young kids, they found one and gave him a shirt to wear (which they then took back off of him, once the photos had been done). He did get given a football to keep though, signed by Iffy and Co.

As you can see, a huge crowd gathered to get a glimpse of our heros.  :wink:

Sean and Matty leaving.

Can't have done any harm I suppose, there is a chance that kid will turn up with his dad for the next match...in which case it will be another £20 for the club.

I was particularly disappointed that I didnt see anybody that looks anything like how I imagine Reg to look, I had him down as a dead cert to be there. :(

One of them is just the queue for the check out, did you get the golden syrup? What culinary delights will it be used for?

I couldn't find any golden syrup, so I asked an assistant and they found me some. It will be used to make a 'Banofee Cheesecake' tomorrow, never made it before. Anything that combines Golden Caster sugar, Golden Syrup, Muscovado sugar and over 500ml of cream has got to taste good though.  8)

I like banofee pie and i can only assume it's similar, good choice sir.

Can't stand bananas  :wink:

I think its good that they are being seen in public, it can't do any harm to the club at all and there's a chance of both recruiting young fans AND getting the council to see how the club is an integral part of Swindon

That David Coulthard has 'chizzled cheek bones'. I am amazed he manages to get a helmet on! His face is the size of Gibralter!
