They were certainly in the kippax on the day in question, but after a large bout of trouble just prior to half time you never saw them again .

Their claim to have 'taken the kippax' is laughable ... as is Coventrys to have taken Maine Road!

No worries, wasn’t having a pop. Many people (even blues) think Daft Donald (Donald Farrar) is Donald Francis. So I can understand West Ham getting mixed up. You’re right though, that it doesn’t really alter the mood of the time.

Nobody except people who know the score would ever mistake DD for DF. They are a million miles apart with all respect to the former.

Both ten pence and Donald are part of our history for different reasons. Was at Birmingham when DF got the tickets in their seats. Think it was 85.

It had gone up to 20p Steve when I knew him.

He saved us from a hiding in Brum town Centre when outnumbered he scattered a load of them with a large bin above his head and his arse hanging out of his cords ,giving us enough time to get back to the Bull Ring for the train, although what seemed like the whole of the shopping centre also turned on us!
What a day for a 16yr old !

Yes he didn't give a fook. City didn't. We didn't pretend we were anything other than a load of balloons and the opposite side couldn't get it. The other teams were all Charlie big spuds.

Day after Boxing Day 1976.
If anyone older than me has better information from this day I would love to here it.
I was 14 & went with my Uncle & his mate.
We were the first fans to use the new south stand that day ( replaced the cowshed)
I think this was the day we started taking serious thousands to most away games on a regular basis.
We queued for ages at both entrances but they locked the turnstiles as full.
Queued at the lowfields along with loads of other blues & again got locked out.
I didn’t know the significance at the time but we then did the same at the kop ( my uncle was a big bricklayer & didn’t give a toss ) but gave up half an hour after kick off when they locked that end as well.
The following year in the fa cup was a similar crowd with a similar number of blues there yet the next year again in the fa cup with massive city numbers the crowd was 10,000 less.
This was the pitch invasion one & the trip from & back to the train station still lives with me now.
Mickey Francis version of this days events in his book was absolutely bang on.
