....just wondering?
Some are explicitly rovers related, some are cryptically related, some appear to have no relation.
I chose mine because of the chant and was available.
I'm sure some reasons will be just simple, but I wonder if there are any back stories out there that are more interesting than mine?!

Ha, I did wonder what your name was about. I never actually tried to say it.
For me, I just tried to think of someone with gas in their name.

Your username actually comes for a chant from the early 80s, Arsenal had two firms, the herd and a group led by a young black lad called denton,who named themselves the gooners as goon was an insult from spurs much as being called gas was meant to be an insult from the teds. Went to many a lively game mid 80s where you would hear oh to oh to be oh be a gooner, usually just before it kicked off, my username, well its were i stood at highbury, but there were clocks above the tote so i like to think some small connection.

Geography for me too. LE - I have a Leicester postcode. Interestingly, I drove by their ground around 2pm yesterday before their home game with Swansea. Got me thinking how they cope with some similar challenges we would face with a redeveloped and larger Mem ... but I’ll save those thoughts for one of the other threads!
