Bentley’s Roof Glossary

Delusions of Granddad - recollections of a match in the late sixties/early seventies where key details of it - scorers, pitch invasions, involvement or otherwise of the Three Degrees or the Luftwaffe Marching Band - have to corrected later by some smartarse with an edition of OFAF close at hand.

I resurrected this as someone asked about TCR earlier.
Just a couple of years old, & there was an original version on the old roof, but even so, some legendary posters
 
WFA
Winter fuel.allowance.

An annual payment to pensioners to help with increased costs during colder winter months.

However, this can be invested on a Leicester City relegation bet or a spunk up at Sandown races.

I can't believe 'ponce' hasn't been mentioned. To ponce is much maligned by some but I've never see the problem - tickets that would otherwise be unused get paid for re the seller ought to be in receipt of a pint or two by the grateful recipient. A win-win scenario.

That's if the transaction is conducted properly and in a gentlemanly fashion of course. There has been some notable abuse of the arrangement: GTIF and the Bear running off with Charley Farley's ST being the most obvious, though the aftermath was a very funny saga.

The Bear had a bad limp since a car crash in 1974
He couldn't run off with anything

Ha haa, some of the season ticket ponces were good fun to read on the old Bentleys, I never had a problem when I let some of the Roofers use my season tickets when I couldn’t make the games... 😊

On the old roof site,it was much more difficult to link an article, song etc(.For me & a few others anyway)
I'd hazard a guess at caants who can't do link.

Walt has got it in one: Caaants Who Can't Do Links. It wasn't just a few, just about anyone who attempted to do a link (me included) fell foul of the technical requirements to achieve it. I updated the list of the names of those who failed from time to time - it went to over a hundred in the end I think.

Edit to add... ironically I'm pretty sure the original 'Caaant' (and we all know who that is don't we pop pickers?) didn't appear on my list. He didn't have the basic technical wherewithal to even attempt to do a link 😁

An educated guess,I should have gone on Wheel of fortune.
 
Thanks for the above answer. Makes total sense when explained!
