They were top lads them, in the 80's they'd take 1 or 2 coaches to games. You'd see them everywhere even insignificant home games on shit nights. They'd always put a du on if we took a coach and we were playing in the area. We were always trying to meet up with them at away games cos they always had a boozer sorted!
And like someone said they had some game lads.
Was with them on Saturday. I in touch with their organiser. Good bloke, sorted the pub we were at for before the game.
blue underpants said:Dont know if this counts but i knew a lad nicknamed Diko..RIP..who was a bit of a city tearaway in the 70s, he moved to London at an early age and would meet up with all the lads every game down south, game as anybody never backed off esp against the rags.
Last time i saw him he had calmed down a lot and sadly died a few years ago, he is fondly missed by everybody who knew him, real top ladand a great blue
make no mistake about it dicko was the man!
i only know one or two who were as game as him.

There weapons of choice were extra long knitting needles and hat pins. I remember some rag meatheads taking them on only to be rolled up in a tangled giant trap made of dozens of hair nets sewn together and then savagely prodded by the game game old gals. The Bristol Bad Biddies they called themselves - they disbanded when Enid their leader developed severe rheumatism and a couple of the others had varicose vein operations.
I heard that on the way to one game, the bus full of the 'Blue rinse knitting crew' was apprehended by the old bill, a patrol car pulled up alongside and shouted "Pull over". "no it's a cardigan" came the reply..!

There was that time a male streaker ran on the pitch at Maine Road. One of the Granny Guvnors had a stroke.

oh Good God noooo! I've heard that 'Dairy' Lee Lubberstone from Millwall has gone over for the trouble. It'll be, 'Get your Ritz out for the lads,' from one lot, and, 'Tuc off,' from the others and it'll just spread from there.
