Make Shrewsbury "Tyhee Slim" Day

As a tribute to our friend, it's been suggested that the Argyle fans who knew Neil dress in his style at the last match of the season, which is the away fixture at Shrewsbury.

This will involve wearing a fedora and an Italian football shirt, or a variation on that theme.
EBay has some inexpensive options for both items.

His widow, Jane, has described the idea as "a wonderful tribute to Neil", which is reason enough to support the idea.

The last match of the season often becomes a fancy dress opportunity.

Let's do it.

Thanks Tony - good to hear from you.

The idea for this tribute came from Steve Nicholson, former editor of Rub of the Greens and Avon branch stalwart.

It's a very good one, so long as we stay away from jesters hats...

As we come closer to the end of the season and the final match away at Shrewsbury, I'd like to remind everyone of this idea to pay tribute to our friend, Tyhee Slim.

Following his funeral last week, attended by a number of Argyle fans, his widow Jane was happy to hear that some of us would be wearing fedoras and Italia football shirts at this fixture. She's looking forward to seeing pictures of the day, when the time comes.

Brown fedoras and retro Italian football shirts can be found on eBay, Amazon and elsewhere at around £8-10 each, if you shop around.

It would be a grand thing if more than a handful of us Argyle fans can fill a photo or two in this way.

But please - no jester hats.

Thanks in advance.

Be aware, if going for the Mallon Vintage Unisex Fedora( which looks "proper job") on Amazon, it was only after I ordered it (yesterday) that i see an estimated arrival date of May1 - May20!; it's already been shipped...............but from Hong Kong!!
So now I'm sweating on it arriving in time; would suggest 'tis, by now, too late to order that one! , Ray

Too much to ask for Shrewsbury to play "Ghosts of Saturday"?

Tickets acquired.

Would be worth bringing a copy along - they might play it in the pub at least.

After a visit to my loft I've managed to find my copy of Ghosts of Saturday which I'll bring along. I've also managed to get it onto my phone and could connect up to a Minirig or other speaker so we could play it at suitable points and places during the day. Have Italian shirt and fedora so all ready to go. Should be a great day without having to worry too much about events on the field.

As a Town fan it is worth contacting Shrewsbury to make this record request. In the last month we had a fan die on the way home from Portsmouth and two fans died of cancer in the last week and the club have been excellent at acknowledging them. If you see pictures from after the game at Cheltenham on Saturday the players came out with T-Shirts saying "For you Lloyd Burton and Colin Bloomfield"

Not sure of best person to contact but if you email the Chief Executive Matt Williams I am sure he will get the request to the right person. matt.williams@shrewsburytown.com
