What has happened to my club?
To be fair, Gonnersaurus is the best news to have come out of the pandemic.Quote:

According to the reports, the fella in the costume is STILL Jerry Quy, who must have been in his 50s when he worked on the Travel Club away day nonce coaches in the 1990s, meaning he'll be well into his 70s by now!Quote:

I see that even a global pandemic and the deaths of literally billions hasn't opened your compassion gland. :-(Quote:

You can't just discard people because their jobs don't exist any more. The man probably has a mortgage and schoool fees to pay. How would you feel walking in to Mrs f with, "Have a seat, there's something I need to tell you..."Quote:

It worries me that my first thought when I saw the news was B will be happy at leastQuote:

I doubt it. He might go rogue and try to trade on the Gunnersaurus brand by doing children's parties and barmitzvahs.Quote:

The thing I will always remember him for is joining in the regular minute's silences before games. He used to stand at the end of the line, next to Wenger, and bow his sad, scaly green head. It made the whole thing seem vaguely ridiculous.
He made the entire club seem vaguely ridiculous by virtue of being a seven-foot green dinosaur wearing a choker! :furious:Quote:
