Wroey?

Hound, I don't  think the Nidge Roe you mentioned is the same guy as he who ran YAURS. His surname was Wroe. Nigel Wroe. I never saw it abbreviated by anybody ever. Nigel wasn't bald either.

Somewhere on my laptop I know I've got the last message I ever sent to Nigel. Haven't found it but if and when I do I'll add it to this thread. In my memory at least it is quite informative.

Definitely different people.

Nigel Wroe seemed a really nice guy. Remember meeting him at a few away games down south. Then something changed. Sad how it ended.

"Something changed" ..... you can say that again Jonathan!

Towards the end, contributors to Yaurs were dropping like flies. I was one of the last men standing but that all changed when I sent Wroey a polite PM sticking up for you, because he referred to you as a "dying swan".

That was that!
He took our disagreement public and insulted me on the forum, so I posted a final lengthy tome telling him what I thought, and that was "Goodbye Yaurs"!

I think by that time there were only about half a dozen of us remaining so it was a bit boring anyway!

I seem to remember him making ‘dying swan’ comments whenever someone announced they were leaving.
It was a shame, because until then there was lots of good natured and very funny banter, with very little, if any, malice towards other posters.
Oh for those days back again!

There's someone called Nigel Robert Wroe who lives in Fleet (Hampshire) who happens to be the company secretary of South Yorkshire Tyre Centre on Beckett Road.

Could he be the same person?

Thanks Glyn. He was southern based and the name is right. It could be him but I'm struggling to equate him with the guy in that picture. It could be... But it's 20 years ago now. I dunno tbh.

Think it’s Ian Wroe who owns South Yorkshire Tyres. Sits in the south stand. Didn’t think he was related to the YAURS Wroe.

He's the only other active company officer according to Companies House.

Stuck nut on him around 25 years ago after he was about to bottle me in the face.

This escalated quickly.

This escalated quickly.

Yeah, it did at the time.

Threat nullified though.

That's definitely him.

I used to post on YAURS back in the day, also Confguide.  Mostly on Bifmag with Sturdy, Carlos the Jackal, Herman etc.  Some great laughs.

Bifmag was fantastic.

Bring back Bifmag.

Wroey, Andy Liney and I set up Stadiumwatch to scrutinise the development of the piece of infrastructure formerly known as the Keepmoat. YAURS didn't last long after that.

Bloody hell, I bet a few would have been a bit less flippant about the yellow/red cards if they knew he was armed.

Speaking of Auntie Merge this is her Facebook post today about the Daggers present state



  ·
If ever a manager sounded completely out of his depth in a post-match interview, it is this.
Relegation looks a dead-cert and, the way the club is being run, we are heading for extinction.
The worse thing about all of it is, I don’t think I care. How a Managing Director can take us from the Football League Division One to this and still hold onto his job, is crazy. How he gives yet another incompetent and untried manager a 2 and a half year contract, which makes it impossible for us to sack him - he has yet to win a game since being made permanent (that’s 13 games).
Yes, I reluctantly wanted Ben to go, because we were promised the playoffs minimum, but the way that both he and Justham and others who have been let from the club is shameful; there is no integrity and this is not the way a ‘family club’ behaves. It makes me ashamed to be a Dagger.
In any other season, the FA Cup money would have been used to strengthen and support the team yet so many people have taken the ‘its gone to pay debts’ on face level.
Rebuilding without these owners, Thompson or anyone else who has presided over the wilful destruction of the club is the only answer.
Supporters have been calling for it for over 10 years. Thompson out. Yesterday’s protests were the best way of making voices heard. No doubt the club will try and ban people. But good luck trying to get out of the National South with an attendance of 500.
