Helen the bell ringer

Good memories of Helen ringing the bell, she give us a tour round the ground in our school holidays one year. Bless her
 
She could do whatever she wanted. If some fuck-face newby had something to say they'd be sorted. Big Joe is still a big lad, I'm sure he'd still have something to say!

A City Legend that will be remembered fondly.
 
as been said she was united first,always went on finglands coaches,and i have seen her give tickets to home fans when weve been away,we asked her a few times for briefs,norwich,southampton and she blanked us,with her white flannel pants,blue city shirt.rossette scarf autograph book,city bag,with city flask,city cup ect all the above sums city fans up eccentric,could do with more of them,one who i cant recall his name think it was pete,went everywhere with city coat on,city bag,scarf bobby hat,always smiling smashing fella always on kippax with a radio to his ear
 
They don't make them like Helene anymore there's not may fans who get the the Kippax and North Stand singing her name.
 
Yep - Fond memories of Helen. She used give sweets out the kids as well.
Does anyone remember the Jehova's wittness who used to satnd outside the Kippax wearing a sandwich board which proclaimed 'Prepare to Meet thy Doom!' and a bowler hat? I remember he once said that Colin Bell 'was a sinner' and it nearly kicked off! - Think I will start a thread about this bloke.

Who remember Helen the Bell ringer and how she would go down today at the ETIHAD?

I dont know about going down at The Etihad, but she nearly went down on me at Maine Road.

Remember going round Maine Road before the match and i went over to speak with her outside the North Stand/Maine Stand corner, i put a bit of loose change in her bucket, got speaking to her, and all i can say is ive never blushed like it in my life.

She used to sit about 5 rows behind me in the Platt Lane too...that bloody bell.

Someone said on here before that the lights out night games should have Helen's bell ringing as the lights are out, to build the tension. Im shocked the club hasn't done this, she is part of our history afterall.
 
Let's rename the North Stand "The Helen's Bell End!"

Seems a good fit with the adjacent "Colin Bell Stand"!

I've got many happy memories of Helen and her bell in the old scoreboard end!

Anyone remember those days in the sixties, when the first team were away and the reserves were playing - you had to wait for the bloke to arrive at the scoreboard with the numbers, to find out how we were getting on at half time!

How things have changed on the communications front since those happy days!
 
she was old enough to have been to the Etihad (early years)?? am i right in saying i would have seen her in a wheelchair with a blue wig (possibly collecting for charity too)?
