Welcome to the forum Mike.

I've read of the reasons that Saltley men were known as 'seagulls'...is it true?

Ripple Lane men were known as pathfinders.

Hi all and thanks for the welcome.
I`ve never been referred to as a seagull! So I can`t tell you if the reasons are true or not. You`ll have to enlighten me. And I ain`t dead yet!

Hello Mike, have a look at Ian White`s gallery, there you will see a photo of 47306 with the Saltley Seagulls headboard on the front. Ciao.
