I’m not part of the north Cotswold Browns Backers but I have heard of them. I’m a massive Browns fan from Birmingham UK, now living in Hampshire

I get you.. Go Browns..

I love this mjp, thank you for sharing.. I’m actually Italian/Irish my mother is from southern Italy (my user name is the city she comes from in Calabria) and her father was captured by the allied forces in North Africa.. he was shipped to England as a prisoner of war and returned to England with his wife and kids in the 50’s to work on the farms that used his labour as a prisoner.. You never know he may have come across your father.. who by the way, sounds like such an amazing guy.. incredible in fact, the service he gave to your country can never be forgotten.. and must make you feel so proud to be his son. Where I live now in Southampton, there is a wall by a hotel, that looks completely normal, but when you get close you can see name’s etched in to it, it is guys from the US WWII forces queuing and waiting to get on the ships back to the US.. when I pass it next I’ll take some photos and message you so you can see what I mean.. I always feel emotional when I see it.

I’m a little worried about the stress on your heart come Sunday Ghoulie.. I have a feeling your dreams here will come true, may be minus the throwing bottles.. I hope you chill have a beer and enjoy the Browns taking down the pretend team from Baltimore

Wow I thought your changes to the NFL was funny.. but this…

One of the greatest posts I’ve ever read.. although I have been drinking beer.. thank you Ghoulie

Thank you.. Well we had one tv show in the early eighties that gave us a round up of the NFL and one feature game.. My Dad and I watched it religiously culminating in the live Superbowl show.. at the time I didn’t follow a team but I remember as a ten year old wanting Joe Montana to beat that other guy in Miami, purely because apparently Joe wasn’t as good as the Miami QB.. then the show stopped and I forgot all about NFL until it started up again for me in the early 2000’s.. I always loved the Browns in the eighties so I picked them again to follow but this time I really felt connected to the fans.. I loved everything about Cleveland and I have obsessed about the team.. but it is the fans I connect with if that makes sense, I feel like one of you, even though I have never been to a game over there..

Thank you for having me on your forum
