Very sad news, bought a tear to my eyes.

Always enjoyed his posts and banter.

Will be sadly missed !

RIP Reg, the forum equivalent of the local character in the pub who everyone knows but nobody knows well. I don't think it's disrespectful to say he'd have been in his absolute element this season.

A forum tribute really should be focused on nostalgia. The Reg Smeeton good old days section. For when football was good, Eastern European women were willing and Swindon weren't totally doomed. Before Thatcher ruined it all.

I note that the Beehive tribute includes the line 'he would normally be found in his corner of the pub, watching match of the day and talking absolute bollocks'. As in life, as on the TEF. RIP.

RIP Reg. Shouldn't it be a forum tribute each season when 50 points is reached and relegation avoided?

I did think with all the Covid sh*t flying around that it was the problem and hoped all was well, even more sad to know that the curse of cancer has taken him away like so many others. RIP Reg, you have been missed and will be.

The match day section would be my vote for sure.

A great idea, RIP Reg

Sad news.  RIP cantankerous old Reg.

[Private Fraser]

Well, that’s a real bugger! RIP ‘Reg’. You were entertaining, informative and annoying in equal measure.

[Arriba]

How very sad. I always liked reading his posts and think his absence is a big loss to this place. RIP Reg.

A forum void.
Your comments will be missed.
Your tales of walking will be missed.
Despite some you may have wound up here.

Your cricket chatter will be incredibly missed.
I wonder what his thoughts would have been on the term,
"it's an out" replacing "it's a wicket"?

Many of us so badly wanted to entice you out of your TEF abstinence.
Just for you to say "I just fancied a break, no bother."

  will forever be synonymous with you on here...and I'm sure now many have put a face to the name, they can see you stroking your bearded chin, lining up your next calculated comment. Could the TEF "coders" turn into :reg: or something? That would be nice. Truly knocked back - testament to an individual many of us had never met or even seen an image of.

I hope you're playing at being an Umpire wherever it is you may be...grit in my eye...must be from the 10miler I walked today...sleep well man. I hope you took your "whites" with you.

RIP Andy/Reg.

No idea, what I thought he looked like, but it wasn't like that!

It's how I pictured him.

Bollocks. RIP reg/andy
