Ronnie Bottomley- Bradford Park Avenue- RIP

[stodin]

Ronnie Bottomley- Bradford Park Avenue- RIP a real non league character. did any of the BPA fans on here know him?

[WileBrownAstle]

Was he the chap he always used to shout "up the avenue" and had a Bradford PA number one supporter on the back of his coat.
R.I.P

I remember him for the sound of his voice and what he used to shout, "KEEP E'M OUT AND MARK E'M TIGHT!". Who can ever forget him he died of cancer last week on Tuesday, and I wasn't there but the rest of the massive had held a minutes silence for him Friday night.

He was missed yesterday at Guisley we lost 2 - 1, they were all over us but don't worry we will be back on top, tomorrow night when we play them at home.

That's the first time this year that we have been toppled from first place to third with 67 points, second is Boston United with a better goal difference with the same points as us, and top goes Guisley with seventy points.

Hucknall Town, although not for much longer I reckon (but that is in a new thread)

Bradford PA have beaten Nantwich twice this season.

Must be just me then but I thought Boston got a 2-2 draw at Horsefall.......

Its between BPA and Guisely at the moment, but its a big game on Saturday with Boston at home to Guisely.

[bpaafc]

I feel like crying hope you beat Guiseley Saturday we were beaten 4-2 it feels like play - offs for us. common Boston, you were right 2-2.
