Clive Baker mentioned being amazed how the Green Un was in the newsagents by 6.00pm on Saturdays with even all the local non league match reports. The best of all was the report on the Olive Leaf's matches - absolutely hilarious they were. Anyone know who the scribe was? One day i'll dig up my old Green Uns in our loft. |  | | |  |

Also a flag of recognition for fellow ITFC-ers travelling to or inhabiting distant places - my best was in Glasgow Airport medical centre having a back-resting lie-down whilst waiting for a connecting flight, when one of the medics saw me reading it & came up to introduce himself!
Brilliant paper which I subscribed to as a way of keeping in touch in pre-internet days in Yorkshire. |  |

You are talking about The Railway on Foxhall Rd, we are talking about The Railway Tavern in Mellis.
Joyce had The Railway on Foxhall Rd with her husband Chris, when he died she eventually took over The Black Horse.
She was indeed a formidable women, not the easiest on the eye but nice enough in a way. |
Ah, it would help if I read the thread properly! |  |

Chris died when they were at the Black Horse. I used to do plumbing jobs for them even though I live near Huntingdon. Used plan jobs when there was an evening game on.
or Saturday mornings. |  | | |

As a teenager I read the Green'un avidly - Town's report first, then the Olive Leaf notes, superbly written by the late Paul 'Digger' Crane. They were hilarious and for a while I was naive enough to believe some of the ridiculous exploits Digger reported! Mr PW knew most of the team and later introduced me to Arkle and Digger. | | | |

I used to like how the big match reporters would get some copy in early by starting of with a description of the weather and the pitch. |  | | |

I can remember as a ten or eleven year old waiting at the Cross Corner in Woodbridge on Saturday evenings to collect a copy, it usually arriving by 6.15 at the latest.
Years later I was "View From The Bridge" for Woodbridge Town, and used to phone through match reports at half-time and full-time, always impressed by the efficiency and organisation of this much cherished, and much missed publication. |
I was 'The Shelterite' for FC Clacton!!! |  |
