cidered abroad Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 One of the biggest bullshitters to have been employed at BCFC. For the younger ones, he was here in the late 1970's, I think it was Commercial Manager. His time here was in the years that preceded the 1982 bankruptcy and you can draw your own conclusions from that. Or put another way, think Sexstone and multiply his uselessness by 100!

No, I wasn't insinuating that he had anything to do with the contracts fiasco. That was AD and the Board. But I suspect that there were a lot the administration management like the aforementioned person that were dipping their fingers into the honeypot of the cash that was available from the massive attendance figure scam.

Pandemonium Jeff . There where lads running down the terraces to escape and lads running up them to have a go . I was in the middle , like a rock in the bay of madness , as bodies turned and twirled all around me . " United " they chanted from what seemed like all over the East End. I had had a little warm up with some of the Cockney love monkeys on my way from Temple Meads to the ground. Aye , the adrenaline flowed that day I can assure you .

Redtrojan Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 That was the worst east end response ever in my time,and the closest to the end being completely seeded to the away fans. They came in mob handed and were very effective. I was only a nipper and they were scary. To be fair didn’t happen often but that was the closest I saw us being over run in the last 50 years.

It`s definitely the closest I`ve ever been to seeing the EE taken in my time watching City. They were so well organised and weren't` backing down.

Didn't budge. They never made it that far, and were removed. Now, if they'd come in at 2.45, like Villa, and Wednesday, they'd have come unstuck. On the slope. Like Villa and Wednesday.

East End Old Boy Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Quite often during the early 70’s away fans would be in the East End, even being penned in by the Police at the back. Remember once Oxford being there in numbers and suddenly they all ran towards the exit on the Dolman side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were rumours of a West Ham fan flashing a sabre... sod that for a game of soldiers. I was in the middle of the East when it all sparked off and my first thought was "I aint getting chopped up for anyone". The sudden tilt of people around me made up my mind... the direction of the tilt gave me no options...deal with it or look a coward. Fortunately for me, there were so many people trying to get to the front of the fight, my (lack of) ability was never questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To his credit, it didn`t take him long to get into the swing of things though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
