When I was a young Lions fan I bought a programme holder and got lots of the players to sign it. I’ve uploaded photos of this and leave it to you to decipher the signatures. I’ve also uploaded a Supporters’ Club application form from the 1988/89 season – both are on the Memorabilia page.

Additional info for Richmond game
Will Freeman has given me a couple of little facts about the game the Lions played against Richmond Flyers on 17/07/85. Thanks to Will for the info, the page has now been updated.
Coming soon…
Tony Hinkley and Will Freeman have been kind enough to send me lots of memorabilia, including issues of the Clock End Times and Roar, which was the Supporters’ Club newsletter. Many thanks to them both….
I’ll start scanning and adding them to the site as soon as possible. When the first lot go on I’ll mention it on the home page and notify everyone on the mailing list.
Brand new site design!
After three months of very hard work I’m pleased to launch the new design for the site….
Hopefully the site will be better to browse as it’s been rewritten to comply with web standards. The poll, guestbook etc now function from my own server, so no more adverts! If you want to know more about the site please visit the “About this site” page – see the link in the left column. If you encounter any problems please let me know via the Contact Us page – thanks.
Obituary – Marian Tingey
It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Marian Tingey. Marian was a staunch Lions supporter who used to sit alongside me in the front row of Block 8, in the Clock End. Jack McGill contacted me to let me know she had passed away….
Jack says:
“I post with great sadness the news of Marian Tingey’s death. She passed peacefully last week at age 65, after a short illness. Many will remember her as a warm and friendly lady who supported the Lions from start to finish from the clock end with her 3 children (Sandy, David and Peter) and at most away games she could be found cheering with the rest of us.
“What many did not know was she was also a sponsor of the team through the hard times and the good, towards the end of the Lions she helped to run the clock end shop and was a tireless proponnent of Hockey. In fact it was Marian and the kids that encouraged me to come and see a Hockey game for myself and for me at least it was a life changing experience.
Hockey has lost a great fan, the family have lost a mother and I have lost one of the closest friends I have ever had.”
Thanks to Jack for his kind words on behalf of a lovely lady.
