What’s that all about

I’ve been informed it’s awarded to the team that finishes bottom of the league each season.

And that we’ve been awarded it once

Can it be so?

Re: The Wooden Spoon : Tue Aug 15, 2023 1:45 pm  

No. We have never finished bottom.

I thought that too, I don’t recall 2nd division rugby.

But this guy who’s 80 odd who we play skittles with remembers it. Pre Super League.

Are you sure he isn't getting confused ? We are talking about the Mighty Wire here you know.

The original poster is a "wum"

I once woke up with the week old bottom of a parrot cage in my mouth and Lemmy in my head, wearing a Jive Bunny t-shirt which I most defintely was not sporting when I left home the previous evening.

To this day, I'm convinced Pete Waterman was winking at me the next time THM&H was in town.
