| Welcome to The TV Shelter. We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible. However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique. And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums. And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried. We hope you enjoy your visit. |

Former England manager, Sir Bobby Robson, has died aged 76 after losing his battle with cancer. Robson had a successful playing career with West Brom and Fulham, winning 20 caps for England, who he later led as manager to the World Cup in 1986 and 1990. He also managed Fulham, Ipswich, PSV, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona and the club he supported as a boy, Newcastle. Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: 'In my 23 years working in England there is not a person I would put an inch above Bobby Robson. I mourn the passing of a great friend; a wonderful individual; a tremendous football man and somebody with passion and knowledge of the game that was unsurpassed' Current England manager Fabio Cappello also expressed his sadness: 'Sir Bobby was a wonderful man, a real gentleman. It's extremely sad that Sir Bobby has lost his final fight against cancer, but he will never be forgotten. He really was a great man. To manage the national team for so long was a remarkable achievement, and we all remember how close he came to leading England to the World Cup final in Italy.' Floral tributes have been laid at St James Park in Newcastle whilst Alan Shearer made this statement: 'He will be sadly missed by everyone, not just by people in the football world but from all walks of life. It's a very sad day for everyone, especially his family, his close friends and anyone who's ever worked with him.' © Independent Television News Limited 2009. All rights reserved. What a sad loss to the football world RIP Sir Bobby. |
