Ahhhh "…… will the hot dog man be there?

That will bring the crowds back

All is missing is tommy on a megaphone in the back of a car yelling “come out to the game”

Is it the same hotdog man I’m thinking who went to all the suburban grounds in the 80s90s

Old Greek/Italian looking fella?...curly grey hair on the sides going bald on top no teeth…

When is the return home to Pratten Park

Probably …. doubt he would get a health clearance nowadays.
As a side issue … it’s appropriate with what’s going on with the Big 4 contract … that the reunion is called in memory of the Magpies losing Boyd, Dorahey and Brown to bloody Manly all those years ago. Talk about recurring nightmare! :brick:

That was in 2008

Club is planning one. Leasing issues with Soccer and Cricket season overlaps. Possible one day.

I’ll be there and bringing my parents, who are thrilled at going back to Lidcombe.
Looking forward to it.

Hope all my Magpie brothers and sisters have a great day at Lidcombe ,it was truly one of the great suburban grounds that had some very,very good players grace its turf….

Have never been to Lidcombe Oval. Sounds like it would be an awesome day.
Bruce Clark would be an absolute monster nowadays wouldn’t he? Was a huge man back in his playing days. Is Alan Neil Mick Neil’s brother?

I was reading the paper today and in the section where they put all of the sports results it said,

Wests Magpies v some one (I cant remember who they were versing) game postponed due to damage at Lidcome Oval.
