Hello mate and welcome,

Can't relate but a mortgage and kids must be a real stumbling block to getting over the Arsenal.

As for loving Reading, I prefer Newbury myself but each to their own... :wink:

Good to have you :barscarf:

Welcome Richie. We are from the same era. Still have my GP200 and SS180............... Sorry boys Scooter talk.

On mortgage and kids, it all just gets more expensive..... Uni fees and cars :banghead:

Welcome

Hiya Richie, welcome mate

I know the feeling (only I stopped at 2 kids) and now get down a handful of times a season.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone.I'll quickly try and answer you all.

LyusN1 - lol ,yes i suppose Newbury has its good points too :D and yeah with the all in price of attending a match it can be virtually impossible mate when you have such commitments.
Mcdowell42 - yes a lottery win would be good mate.Maybe us hard up gooners with families should start a syndicate lol
Rosie_titters - no, none of those mate although i like some of what BSM have to say.I'm certainly not an AKB and i am not sure what a clique member is but i don't think i'm one!!...
Chippy - yes i have had a little lurk - i was going to sign up before it got shut down but obviously didnt and then i have a bit of trouble finding the forum again once it reopened.
jamjc64 - hi mate..one of each eh you lucky man :D I currently ride a PX and am out and about on it quite a bit.Although after what you said about uni and cars the PX may well be going in the future then lol.Good to meet a kindred spirit mate.
StuartL - probably quite wise to stop at 2 mate lol but nice to hear i am not the only one in this situation
REB / highburyJD - thanks for the welcome
I think that covers it all - looking forward to getting involved - thanks,Richie
