Neil Robertson was tweeting about us quite a bit recently, even after the win at Wigan when he’d just finished or was in the middle of his first round game at the World Championships. Does he still live in Cambridge? Some time ago I played a frame against him (pool rather than snooker) at Frames, before he became famous! He was far, far too good for me and I didn’t pot a ball! I think his lad might be in the youth set up.

Yeah he is, his lad is in the Elites at Newmarket on a Friday night. See him there most weeks.

Do we include Jamie Oliver in this? I know he's never been to a game and I don't think there's any evidence he's ever supported us but it was a popular rumour back in the conference days He had absolutely no interest in helping when we were bankrupt so, no, I don't think he has any real affinity, it's just a 'normal bloke' affectation...

I had absolutely no idea there were so many ex-Perse U's fans - I thought I was nearly the only one. Obvs knew about Mark Saggers as he was two years above me, and there was a lad in my older brother's year who sadly passed of leukemia before he was twenty, but that was about it.
Did everyone else hate the place as much as I did?!

Going to a "Comp", Perse wasn't really on our radar, had more to worry about with St Bedes, Netherhall, Parkside & those in the North of the City

He didn't even pay his staff, so there was no way he was helping anyone else... the entitled sponge.

Did Dan Goodfellow (Tom Daley's ex dive partner) who was at Melbourn VC and always at Parkside ever come to a game?

And this is why I loathe him.

Anyone know if Cambridge legend *Disco Kenny ever ventured down the Abbey? A true Cambridge celebrity.
*if you’ve regularly drunk in Cambridge pubs you will know who Disco Kenny is and maybe have bought him a half.

Mrs Purchase works out the back of Iceland on Histon Road, but doesn't have time to attend games.
