haha, yep that was it. It was the game where someone threw a fire extinguisher at the rozzers. I always remember her saying 'no loop signs out of the window' and wondered what the hell she was on about, until I realised someone was making the 'wanker' sign at the back of the coach (not sure, but I think we may have passed the Rag players coach on the motorway).Mad Eyed Screamer said:malg said:I used to sit in the North Stand, and there were times I would gladly have taken that bloody bell off her (yep, I'm a miserable fucker). Then I went to Blackpool away and was on the same coach as Helen. What a miserable fucking trip that was, she policed the coach like a fucking headmistress! Stopped anyone bringing food or drinks onto the coach, then half way there she started selling stuff from the front! Got to say, fair play on that one though.....very much the entrepreneur.
Don't know if it was the Blackpool 1984 Cup game you are on about, but I was on her coach for that game, bottle of red wine poured into a Ribina bottle.
She had her suspicions (especially as I was half pissed on arrival at the ground) and ''had words'' with me on the way back.
After that, always waited until A coach was sold before booking another coach ticket...... never had that problem on the Football Specials though!

A few years later when I started going to away games, I remember her being a fucking nightmare if you went on the supporters bus (especially considering the antics on Maynes's at the time). That said, she's deffo a City icon and I think it would look ace if a statue of her was somewhere outside the ground.

How about Tits out Jackie is she not the modern day version but witha modern day pikey twist to it? How about if they attached a pair of clangers to her knockers and you could here them ringing around the ground every time she whips them out for the lads.
You could just imagine that cheeky grin on Mario's face whilst he is parading the trophy around Jackie with them out.
