Re. Helen's bell, the way I remember it is she would ring it unbidden about five minutes into every game in the quiet that settled once the early roars had died down, followed by cheers from the home crowd and sometimes even the away fans too.

...and she always got a kiss or a hug from Joe Corrigan when he took up his place in the goal at the start of a game

I loved seeing Helen and hearing her bell. She was a great supporter. I remember seeing her outside Wembley when we lost to Spurs in 1981. She looked as despondent as I felt.

We should all move to a BM carehome/community. All sat dribbling in the corner, pissing our pants, eating shitty, sloppy food and talking bollocks about city. Just like the olden days!
U mean thats not what this forum is?We should all move to a BM carehome/community. All sat dribbling in the corner, pissing our pants, eating shitty, sloppy food and talking bollocks about city. Just like the olden days!
I did the same - got a couple of tickets from a spurs contact in the home end by their directors box - had the piss taken relentlessly by the home lot (I’d made it clear I supported City) - walked out when Barton got sent off - rang Radio 5 to complain on way home - producer called me back at 3-1 saying we were going to win - got back to my brothers in North London just as the winner went in and as a result was first caller on 606. Think I’ll stay to the end this time….Really looking forward to this. Note to self, don't walk out at half time if we're 3 down and down to ten men like the last cup game with spuds. One of the biggest regrets in life
What do you mean olden days ?We should all move to a BM carehome/community. All sat dribbling in the corner, pissing our pants, eating shitty, sloppy food and talking bollocks about city. Just like the olden days!

Haha. In my defence I was steaming and had work the next morning. Living in Brighton, I thought fuck it , I'll get home at a reasonable time. Walking down the Seven Sisters Rd, popped in a pub to see what the score was 3-2. Stayed and watched to the end.I did the same - got a couple of tickets from a spurs contact in the home end by their directors box - had the piss taken relentlessly by the home lot (I’d made it clear I supported City) - walked out when Barton got sent off - rang Radio 5 to complain on way home - producer called me back at 3-1 saying we were going to win - got back to my brothers in North London just as the winner went in and as a result was first caller on 606.

Went absolutely mental when Macken scored the winner. How I got out alive is beyond me.
