The old double Decker's on tour circa 1979

Just curious. How many of the posters on here where on the original Double Decker's run by Suggy/Dill. Original City Psycho buses I guess.

Start with Myself. Any more out there.

Is this one of those things you need to be really old to understand ???

 

I went to away games on Simon Gray travel until the official travel took control! I remember having to look for his number in the HDM every other week to book my spot, I don't know how he ever made any money I'm sure he always used to charge £10 wherever we went

 

I believe that the double decker bus trips were organised by Suggy and his mate Kev.
Kev is still a regular and is often sen in the company of the the two Ian's, the guys behind City independent.
The dill brothers pick and choose their matches these days, both have expressed disillusionment with modern football, particulairly the prem experince.
Both have over 100 away venues on their card including pre seasons in Holland, freindly matches in Gibraltar etc. There love of Hull City is beyond question.

Dean, you would have had to have been a teenager in 1979 to be part of those times. So yes, it would only apply to city fans of a certain age.

 

Tick remember trog see him now and then

 

errrrr quite oldish. It was the start of the first proper away support for a good few years.

 

Your right. forgot about Kev.

See nige on sporadic moments. Yeah he is a bit dissolutional about modern Football. Moved to Spain he and wife Lynne came back for the Prem 1st season.

Apart from losing his hair for someone I have known for 20+ years he aint changed much.

 

I was 13 (unlucky for some) in 1979, But also living in Calgary, I didn't go to an away game until 1987, The bus run was organised from a house on north road.

 

Th buses used to knackered. Lucky if we reached Lincoln never mind Calgary. You also missed the Early 80,s then. You must of seen hell of a lot more lows than highs.

 

I was watching ice hockey (NHL) in the early eighties. Great sport, Especially the bit where they knock **** out of each other.

 

There was few lads on the buses capable of that to. How did you get into Hull City then?

 

Does he still go?

 

Moved back to Hull and just started going, I had dreams of playing at a higher level than I did in Canada but ended up playing American football of all things

 

Still got the shoulder pads? American Football. Strange game!

 

Nope, Fun game to play though.

 

E 18, do you remember Ricky Heritage? The big fat bully with the star tatooted on his face?
He had a habit of threatening and intimidating the organisers and other City fans for money, he was a leftover remnant from the old skinhead days.
If you do, you may recall how that came to an end.

Happy days!

 

Enlighten us boothferry what happened to him?
