Breaking News ShrimperZone's Very Own Ron Manager's Media Fun

[McNasty]

I am that some of you have heard the news that amongst the Shrimper's travelling army yesterday was our very own Ron Manager who has flown back to see his family from Brisbane, Australia.

When the news of the match's postponement was announced the interweb was flooded with messages about Andrew's efforts coming over 10,000 miles , getting to the ground and finding the match called off.

He was approached by a journalist from the Sun who was told when asked for an interview "Thanks but no thanks #JFT96".

This has made the local Liverpool papers where Andy is now a hero and been offered tickets to Liverpool's match on Boxing Day ----- surely that match can't compete with his planned visit to Colchester --- can it ?

Seen all the media on the story. Did Andy used to be heavily involved in the running of the away coaches back in the early 90's? He looks very familiar

Andy used to travel on the Paul Holland coaches and has been a fan since he was very young.

He escaped to Oz about 6 years ago.

If he was flying back to see his family anyway, he's not flown 10,000 miles just for a Southend game?

Good story about The Sun though.

Absolutely, agree 100% That's why the original tweet about that was very tongue in cheek. But then it just went crazily viral.

He is here for a few weeks and will be watching several games.

I am not sure if he is here to visit family or to watch SUFC games --- but I have an idea.

Ssssshhhhh....don't tell my Mum. She thinks I'm here to see her....

Then I do remember Andy. Always loud and at the forefront on the coaches, hence why I thought he was part of the set up. Top bloke

Good old Sun, most popular paper in UK still got a story and not a bad read on page 25:winking:

Can't trust him to go to a simple away game without causing trouble. Hope to see you at the Bury game Andy, if i can get past your entourage of course :winking:

Indeed, top man. :thumbsup:

Supporters can have their differences with those of other clubs but on some things we should stand as one with each other.
The Sun hasn't seen a penny of my money for a long, long time and won't for, God willing, a long time to come.:nope:

That's the first thought I had when I saw the picture too. I definitely remember Ron Manager/Andy from a bunch of games in the mid-90s especially.
