Abraham Romanovich Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Great to see a toilet roll lobbed onto the pitch after one of the Norwich goals yesterday.

Rich Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Im probably going to get shot down for this, but I miss Bristol derbies. I hated the pre match nerves of a Derby match, the feeling of sickness at the thought of losing. I never want to play them again, if that's possible. Unless we are so far ahead of them we could get results like Norwich had against Paulton. Sorry if that sounds selfish Marie but I think they've held us back for years with this rivalry. It was the only match that was really important to them when we were in the same division and most of their efforts went into that match. After 40 years of occasional rivalry I'm really enjoying their absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not in a million years (underlined three times!) want us back "down there" and I really and truely 100% much prefer where we are now, BUT (and Rich will also know I am not trying to start an arguement) there's just something exciting about beating your nearest rivals, especially when they are just up the road. I still wouldnt want to be back where we were 5 years ago though, so I guess sometimes things have to fall by the wayside on the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Got to be terracing. Forget the new-fangled safe terracing, I'm talking about the sort where you're crushed in, can't move and you sway with the rest of the crowd. A few matches that spring to mind are, Leicester Away in the FA Cup (the Jacki game) where we were on the terracing under the double tiered stand (we also had the seating down the side of the pitch as well). I also remember our first season back in the second division when Lumsden took charge and we had to beat Watford away to stand a chance of the play-offs, crikey that was packed too. I'm not really old enough to remember the East End in it's prime, but the Louie Donowa derby provided one of the last packed terraced East End games. Also had fond memories underneath the double tiered stand at Brentford as well. For sheer scaryness, the old terracing behind the Wolves goal was bloody steep and seemed to stretch miles back. I would have loved to have been in that stand when it was packed to the rafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shout there Beaverface Those were the days when football was a social occasion as much as a sport. You'd be in the pub before the match with your mates, walk to the ground together, through the turnstiles and stand wherever you want. If you want to move around during the came to maybe have a chat with someone, then no problem. Nothing like being in the crowd surge behind the goal when we scored either. None of this sit in the same seat for years. Ok it's nice if you get in late and there's your seat waiting for you, but we've lost so much more in the process. Give me standing any day.

I do miss proper muddy pitches, 'cause I'd love to see just how good today's overpaid players would be on the sort of pitches they played on in the '70's, especially iof they ahd to use the heavy leather footballs they used back then.

22A Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Looking through a book on the history of football, I showed my son of a player shoulder charging a goalie. I explained that if you kept your elbows in you were allowed to shoulder charge an opponant (goalie or outfield player) who had the ball. Tony Cook once stated he could never have got away with walking round holding the ball like Ray Cashley did, so presumably the shoulder charge which is still legal, disappeared sometime during Mike Gibson's tenure.

BrizzleRed Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ah the good old Ship & Castle ..... some good times and a few gallons of Taunton traditional were had in there. Remember a time when they tried to crack down on how many people they had in there, so stationed a couple of people on the doors to stop more going in. No problem though, as all we did was go round the side, bang on the window and someone would always open it so you could climb in. That place used to be rammed on match days and you'd be wearing as much cider as you'd drunk, with all the pints being passed over heads, as there was no chance of squeezing through the mass of bodies in there at times. Talking of bodies, does anyone remember the two girl flashers in there that ended up in the Sun after giving a display of their considerable assets when they got in the ground as well and got banned?

CotswoldRed Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Another thing I sort of 'miss' is as a small lad - standing in the East End and constantly struggling to be able to see over everyone's head who was much taller than me. I'd climb the fences at the front from time to time to get a batter vantage point until I was told to get off. My last memory of this was hanging off the fence and singing "Jimmy Lumsden's red and white army." The fences came down at the end of that season. I'm glad that fences have now gone forever. I miss entering the East End from the old entrance, now used by the away fans. I used to get goosebumps as I came up the short slope and caught glimpse of the pitch for the first time. .... and the crap P.A. system in the EE ..... no my mistake, we still have that.

Interesting also that our Police have been buying in dogs from Germany that only answer to commands in German..... A quarter of all police dogs in Derbyshire are German, and handlers have learnt commands including "sitz" (sit), "platz" (down), "aus" (let go), "holen" (fetch) and "bissen" (bite). The German dogs cost £2,000 each but police bosses say they are good value as they are already trained in obedience and biting to apprehend criminals. One dog-handler from Derbyshire constabulary said: "If you say 'let go' in English, they just look at you like you are crazy."

aller g Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Looking through a book on the history of football, I showed my son of a player shoulder charging a goalie. I explained that if you kept your elbows in you were allowed to shoulder charge an opponant (goalie or outfield player) who had the ball. ernie peacock!

Guest red66 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Great to see a toilet roll lobbed onto the pitch after one of the Norwich goals yesterday. Great height and trajectory, made me feel very nostalgic and yearn for those days of yore when a lob and a charge down the terrace celebrated our notching another..... Well played the man from Norfolk prepared to get rid of his Izal Bronco "spread it around" hygiene tissue. has to be standing in the east end,as in my youth, back in the east end now, but miss the sway of the crowd, and ending up down the front of the stand,although you were stood at the back.
