As claims to fame go it ain't much, but it's all I got! Based on McIndoe’s reputation I guess you just wanted a bottle of water but he sold you a water dispenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best memory chip shop near the ground after the game, city fan kicking off as they didn’t have any or heard of Clarke’s pies. Match 20th my birthday . Hat trick for super Bob and one for Biff?

Not doubting you, but as a former Chairman I would have expected him to sit in the Central Lansdown at the very least. Has he fallen on hard times? Where does Scott Davidson sit?

Midlands Robin Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I remember John Ward went in the Atyeo once. It would have been early in the 98-99 season. The trouble was he was supposed to be in the dugout managing the team. He left the club shortly after. I guess he wasn't a fan of the pies or they'd run out of half time draw tickets?

The two I mentioned weren't employees, they owned a fairly large chunk of the club, and ran things so far as I am aware. I would have thought with their money / connections they would be in a box or doing the corporate prawn sandwich lark. Did anyone see them leave early?

Nogbad the Bad Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 The thing that interests me about this thread is not which ex-City players are seen at the ground for reunions, or doing hospitality, scouting p/t, or even getting the odd freebie, but how many ex players buy their own ST, or turn up regularly purely because they have gone on to become genuine fans of the club. Perhaps they were fans before signing for the club, or their young children/families became fans when they were players and they still go with them. I remember hearing Trevor Tainton and Andy Llewellyn fit this category of sitting (fairly) anonymously amongst ordinary supporters, and Colin Cramb has said on FB that he is a ST holder, but I wonder how many others have genuinely become regular match going fans after their careers finished for no other reason than they still love the game, and the club, and want to support the team? If a player stayed in the area after retiring, then unless they had a big fall out with the club why would they not become regular fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine helped organise his recent benefit game - Mr Aitken is a top geezer, as you obviously know. He can certainly smash back the Guinness like a pro - well he could back in the day!

He sits in the middle just above half way up , If you have fallen on hard times you couldn't afford to sit there nowadays . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
