Could have been worse, far worse, in the second half steverico sat next to me. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Could be your last, their lease has two years to run and they're looking to build a new stadium. Visited the Manor and Kassam, and never found the Manor, or Kassam, intimidating. . The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
It was in Terry Neill’s first season when we won 3-0. There will be more there on a Tuesday night than there was that Saturday, we took one coach and a couple of cars. Their main lad, who had moved down from Aberdeen and was a very big lad, jumped in the bus when it stopped at traffic lights which had a lot of lads on who fancied themselves and offered to take the lot on. Nobody moved. We had gone by car and were in a pub on the night and a few others walked in. One of them sussed us and started having a lot off. The big lad told them to cool it the game was over. Ended up taking us round a tour of pubs. He said we had put up a good show on their Kop, Villa had taken far more the season before and got booted off far more quickly. Good night. Arrived in style on the car park, Harold Needler arrived in an oldish Rolls and me and my mate, Gary will know who I am referring to, hopped on, one at each side chanting City whilst Harold peeped his horn in time. He had a big grin on his face though his wife didn’t look too pleased
Missed that one Buck, I couldn't afford the coach fare at the time but I've heard the story about the Oxford lad boarding the bus before. Harold Needler once gave me a lift in that Rolls Royce when I'd missed the one bus that went to York, midweek, for Barry Jacksons testimonial. I was hitchhiking and he pulled up and told me to hop in. The club died along with him, sadly, and took a long time to rise up again.
I’ve said it slightly tongue in cheek before but actually I don’t think the food helps the atmosphere. When it was a cheapish smallish pie made of potato and unrecognisable meat you could live with it getting lost in a celebration, plus you’d more than likely only got it at the start or near half time anyway (or I did) Now you’ve got a full size bowl of presumably quite expensive delicacies you’re not letting go of that to clap are you (they) **** the crumble and custard…it’s ruining the atmosphere for Timmy
I know I've half joked about it and received a few sarcastic responses, but seriously, although I'm sure it's very nice, it's just another sign of the gentrification of football.
Must admit the food being scoffed near me looked very tempting. Always amazes me how thousands of German fans greet goals with more enthusiasm than us whilst having beers without it causing carnage.
You see, I would go 4 2 3 1 but we know he's not going to change it. We all think we're managers don't we
I like to support local businesses when I'm in the area. Do the club even get anything from the food sales or is it the SMC?
That reminds me of when I went to watch Wolfsburg (during a student work placement I completely ****ed up and regret doing so to this day, and had I not I could have been Germany Exile, but that's another story). Wolfsburg scored a screamer, bloke next to me threw his beer up in the air, bloke in front took exception, a melee broke out and both get escorted away. I'd been chatting to the bloke next to me all game and turned out he supported Sunderland as his second team or English team or whatever you want to call it due to family connections. This was not long after we beat them on our way to Wembley.
Why did I read that in the voice of the bloke from the Weakest Link who used to tell you who had been the worst performer and best performer in the previous round?
