1973 Tour that was

The completely unknown at the time Skids blew out the Stranglers at the infamous Battersea Park Gig and at Portsmouth Locarno a few days later (the former same day Futcher scored a hat trick at the Bridge against Chelsea)

I felt pretty much the same and my Bald Dome would also have been a mess but fortunately I had a hat on. What sort of complaints would there have been had he stood there shrugging his shoulders or laughing or similar? He’s intense and critical when we’ve just won 6-0.

Pretty much agree on what is needed but the Guys we bring in should be of the quality of immediate starters -we’ve pissed away the option of bringing players in as understudies etc in the last few Transfer Windows. No more Nunés type signings.

I always get a Beer anyway -so it will be interesting to see if I get another freebie at the Derby -that’s if I get to the server as we all know how much busier the Bars are against the Scum

I’ve assumed that I’ve still got a free Pint left -as my Forest freebie was supposed to be £4.72. Odd thing is I was the only SC Holder near me who got this freebie v Forest it seemed -so they must be phasing it in

Reduce their allocation to zero -so no chance of any one being offended -this is where we are headed with this BS

Are you serious?

The stunned silence on the Kippax when Luton scored -until one lone Guy shouted after a few seconds “We are fucking down” has stuck with me all these years

It was the absolute nadir for match going Fans -going 3-4 games without a shot at Goal never mind scoring -which 100% is how bad it was and not a myth at all

IIRC Arsenal brought Viera and Henry on late on from the bench and it was “Who the Fucking Hell are You” from the Kippax -fanatic stuff -then and now looking back

I remember losing 5-0 to the Scousers at home in c1982 when they were 5 up after c60 minutes -the same season we won 3-1 at Anfield

What about his complete fuck up on the 1999 Playoff Final sales which had thousands of Blues (me included) queuing for 15 hours + at the Ticket Office and them having to work until 2 in the morning to sort his shambles out He should’ve been sacked for that alone

We were 3-0 down after c10 minutes if I remember correctly in a do or die relegation battle -that was how it was in those days

My 40th Birthday FFS

Mine was when I heard Coppull had quit -I went and had a few Ales that lunchtime which I never did normally -as I was genuinely worried where we were going from there

August/September 83 -they had a red hot Simon Garner up front and were all over us early on but we suddenly just started scoring goals and IIRC it was 4-0 at HT. The first time I ever heard “you’re so shit it’s unbelievable” sung at a game. Remember it well -as I had a fair few mates in the away...

For many both Spoons and Sinclairs are a rare cheap Pint these day when the average is £5+ in town

You could -as for the most part nobody wore colours etc -save for maybe a tiny Lapel Badge but you had to have your wits about you and if you got a bad vibe at some place you just didn’t go in

The Judgement will take months and it will probably be a few months later before it’s officially made public having been served on the parties in the meantime for chance they can see anything in it factually wrong etc that need correcting
