My youngest son has followed The Talbot since he was a lad, along with a less successful team in Glasgow, better not say anymore.
He also used to accompany me when I supplied the motor trade with coachl8nes etc so he knew the roads.
One Saturday along with his Papa going by bus to Barrhead to watch the Talbot, he would be about 8 years old at the time he said to his Papa the driver should have turned off here. His Papa said don’t worry the drive will know where he is going.
After missing another two turns which my son had noted and by this time the driver was going through Giffnock, some of the others on the bus started shouting to the driver asking where the **# are you going.
By this time they were saying the boy was right so after turn around the driver eventually reached Barrhead.
Yes it’s quite an achievement the team have made over the years.
