Aggroblakh Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Got mine yesterday, looking forward to reading it. I'm pleasantly surprised that it contains a section on the Luzern tie as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepless Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 cheers all. Heading up to Perth tomorrow for the game against the bigot brothers in green. I'll be in the Barossa St Club first off, getting a lift up to the ground, so if anyone's around, say hello. It'd be nice to put some faces to the names I've been writing about these last three months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagyarSaintee Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi Rob, Bought my copy yesterday, what a great piece of work, lots of top drawer stuff. Like many others on here have said, you deserve a huge thanks from us all for all the huge effort you must have put in. Unfortunately I am now back in Hungary and will miss the game tomorrow. Did get to Zlaté Moravce last week and Dingwall on Sunday though, memorable trips! Will let you know when I am next over so we can hook up. Well done to you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Collected mine from the post office today before heading up to the game. So impressed, more than i expected. Can't wait to read it properly. Very well done. So what's the next book going to be about?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hoodlum65 gave me some good ideas (and pics) tonight... Seriously though, I am thinking about something about the bad old days in the 80s. I think there's a cracking book in that. "The Stranraer Gorilla, the shit team and the great fans"...

sleepless Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I actually really enjoyed 83/4 even though we got relegated. 84/5 was brutal though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 sleepless, glad to have met you in the Barossa club tonight. As I said pity I could not have got a copy of your book, as I could have got you to sign it and it would have been worth its weight in gold on e-bay ha ha. However think you got an insight into goings on in Prague and Slovakia to print the sequel. As you said in your post, I have pics. that could or maybe couldn't be printed in the next book. And Ann Frank has come out of the wardrobe as the coast is clear. sleepless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Many thanks to Dr. Christmas Jones and Myspazz for keeping my identity secret in the face of the advancing enemy on our foreign mission. Sleepless may be sending you a PM to obtain your side of the story for his follow up book. More copies of the book should be available from Campus sports this Friday. sleepless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markinch Saint Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Got my copies through the post yesterday and although I haven't read it, had a quick look through and looks excellent. Cheers for compiling sleepless it's fans like you that take the time to do these things that set true football fans apart, irrespective if they are Saints fans or opposition fans.
