A mere trifle at the moment, but an interesting distraction all the same.
I filled the capsule at the beginning of the week with the following:
Programme for first game at Meadow Park (Thanks Matt Phillips)
Selected programmes from notable games (eg First game in Conference North)
Copy of the Weekend 'i' newspaper
Copy of 'Citizen' newspaper
Copy of 'Non-League Weekly'
An OS map of the Gloucester area circa 2010
A picture of a monkey smoking a cigar, wearing a thong.
Latest updated Stadium Build Blog
A foreward by your truly.
My taxidermied dog Rasputin's left paw.
A couple of packets of silica gel.
It's a beauty! - and is now screwed together and tied up in a sturdy garden bin liner ready for either burying at the stadium over the next days until lockdown - if it is convenient - or will stay up in my attic and we can try and do something at a more opportune time.
Whenever it does get opened, I hope many years from now, it will be really interesting piece of history for both the club and everyone else, as last weekend saw a sudden realisation of our current situation, and this is reflected in the papers I've put in.
As well as the programmes in the capsule Matt has also donated a number of other ones from the late naughties to the boxes of programmes I am currently holding for the club shop. No shortage of reading material if I need it!
