The Factions of Bluemoon

Us old timers are meandering this thread all over the place.

Remember the little bald kid doing a sponsored swim/bikeride/walk/carjack every single week?

That heart charity fella who was like a parrot "I hope you never need it"

We used to blow the bald kid out everytime we saw him when he was pulling that scam. He turned up in the rain bar one night, clocked us all sat down and then legged it out the door as we all shouted 'snide,snide'...pmsl.

That charity bloke with his 'howdydooooo' greeting and then trying to sell us a sob story about incubators....what's all that about?

Got a ruck of pics of the last home game at the Gardeners, you never know, you may be on them....?

Would love to see em, Barry. Are they digital? I was outside the front of The GArdeners before that game. Doves were there having a beer.

My rock bottom was undoubtedly when the Gillingham 2nd went in.

It's the only time I have ever thought "I've had enough of this club".

Funny you should say this Dave

My rock-bottom moment was actually when Horlock scored to make it 1:2- I was devestated, I could have coped with losing 2-0 and being totally out-played, but for some reason this goal was just too much to take- typical city, to little too late, I fucking hate this club etc etc. It's also the only time I've ever been in tears at any moment at a city game- I actually missed the equaliser, not becasue I'd left, but because I was slummed in my chair, head in hands moaning that I hate this club and will never ever go agiain!

Not digital mate, they are old school pics. I'll make the effort and scan them and get them to you. All were outside on the front as that's where we were. We had a bit of decorum and at least skinned up outside! Do you remember the bloke who used to go in there with the twin lads who were a pair of little shits. We used to call him David Koresh, in fact there's a pic of him in Cummins's book of the last year. The kids claim to fame was they were the first ones in Manchester hit with an ASBO. Oh to be a celeb eh?

I didn't celebrate the first , Zippy, but when word went round of five minutes stoppage time I started roaring us on like I've never roared before. Then cooke messed up a cross when we had loads in the box and suddenly Taylor got booked which seemed to take ages. I gave up. I walked out with my Mum and Dad and was just walking up the steps to the exit. I actually grabbed my Dad and we turned round ( I can see this in slow motion in my memory) just as Goater had that shot blocked, the ball rebounded to Dickov and GGGGOOOOOOAAALLLLLLLL

We were thrown all over the steps, my Mum went down and I just carried on fucking celebrating. Some other Blue got her and pushed her into a row of seats to protect her.

should i feel guilty about this?

Barry, I'd really love to see those photos,just to see all the old faces. I'm sure i'll be on and I bet you'll recognise my face.

We used to skin up out there too, and in the "beer garden" (!)

Not at all mate - this thread's actually started getting interesting over the last few pages.

There are some great stories and great memories in here, serving to bring the past back to life on anotherwise dull and dreary Friday afternoon - reading these last few pages has picked up my mood no end in readiness for the weekend

Soulboy was always trying to get me to go to the Gardeners but I stuck to my little routine like a gimp. Gutted now, sounds right up my street!

With it's 'Muriel'....lol. It was one of our circle who painted it actually. The BBQ's in the beer garden would have made Gordon Ramsey envious. We must have bumped into each other as we were always 'outside' However i made sure i'd done the Blue Peter 'Here's some we made earlier' ones for a blustery day.

M27, it was cracking mate, always guaranteed a good laugh, win, lose or draw. For people watching it was second to none. We had nicknames for everybody as it was always the same hardcore in there. Used to be an old irish bloke go in there called Joe, we used to call him 'knives and forks' He got that nickname coz when he tried to describe anybody he caught skinning up, he used to do hand actions to describe it. For some reason he looked like he was cutting a giant steak which was fuck all like what he was describing, hence the nickname...knives and forks.
