Possibly one of the most unsafe vehicles ever produced, they would blow over in a strong wind. Also how did anyone ever think that it was safe to just park them around the pitch with players sliding into tackles all the time. It's amazing there weren't more problems.

Rudolf Hucker Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 The bus drivers and conductors leaving their seats in the ringside enclosure 10 minutes before the end of the match ... hang on, does this mean that these days, the Dolman is populated by former Bristol Omnibus employees?

Rudolf Hucker Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Rosettes, rattles, the half-time scoreboard, being encouraged to throw coins at people walking around the pitch carrying a blanket, back home to wait at the newsagents for the Green'Un and the Pink'Un then buying both ... ahhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot remember when the old Cowshed stand was demolished. If it was the late 60s then I was there although I don't remember many games from that era. I was only a "yoof" back then.

The game I'm thinking of was actually the 2nd home game of the 70/71 season when we lost 2-0. Toshack signed for Liverpool in the Novermber of that season.
