Museum today We were very busy. I gave up with the clicker at 248. We were given some “special” shirts and some gloves and 2 other large boxes of player shirts. We were given a remembrance shirt for display today I also managed to do an interview for Grecian Roar radio.

Thank you. That was the objective and I’m glad we achieved that.

Well done professional and tasteful remembrance We Remember Maybe one year we could have a special shirt with the players who gave the ultimate sacrifice embossed upon it. @blitzwalker.bsky.social
