For the over 50s I've found a 1977 Panorama programme about Millwall - you might recognize some of the faces and at 2.20 and then at 28.25 into the video - they're at Eastville......

 

Excellent. We must all watch this ahead of the trip Saturday and maybe we can stop off to "sort" these tossers on the way. Note Harry "The Dog's" brown 70s cardigan; no doubt we've all got one of those we can wear. But don't worry about Bob "The Crow," he won't be there, as he sadly passed away last week. RIP, Bob "The Crow." Danny "The Baker" is gobby and gives it all "that" but he's all maaaff. Please be sure to watch and brush up on our likely opponents this weekend.

At 28 minutes 25 seconds into the video - for those too old to watch without nodding off, an outnumbered Millwall tried taking the Tote End but were beaten back by Tote Enders. Luckily for the Tote Enders, Millwall's F-Troop had their coach break down but that didn't stop Harry 'the Dog' hitching a lift and he arrived late and tried to make amends by trying to take the Tote single handed. :blink:  The Millwall surgical squad had travelled by official train under Police escort and they were but onlookers in the Eastville Open End. At the end of the video it's explained that Millwall is really a very friendly club - only amongst its own support that is.

And there's Harry talking about "Northerners" (meaning norf of the Avon, and the Frome, presumably) giving it all that as he makes his way West along the M4. Pretty sure they got lost, rather than broke down, but Harry was not keen to admit this.

....yep, they probably got lost - and they were bragging about being 15 times brighter than Bristolians. :D  "Northerners" might mean anyone North of the Thames especially Tottenham but they were harking on about rucks with Sunderland and that's a bloody long way OOOp North for them.

Caravan will be equiped with resuscitation equipment including lidl rip off's of seven seas cod liver oil capsules

By the boat load...Oh and a few cots for naps x

 

Will it be stocked up with Tena Ladys? The Saga Hit Squad are more interested in cruising than bruising, so I'm looking for a transfer.

Think KM's in bed now pal. Having his cocoa and reading a Hoolie memoir, before taking his false gnashers out and getting some kip. Get back to you on this, but looking doubtful we can admit one of you lot

...sorry, the old lug 'oles aint what they used to be, couldnt make out all what was said in that vid... help us out a bit, they said something about the 'wall game at Rovers coming a couple of weeks after another game Rovers had a couple of weeks previously what was it they said?... sounded like Rovers probably lost that one to another London team I think- anyone know the score?

...they really should "outsource" the naming and "brand identity" thing to someone literate, someone roughly what we might call "educated" (not a bookish nerd, but someone that has read some books, at least), someone with a turn of phrase and a bit of wit about them.

And someone with a broader cultural awareness than what comes from a limited upbringing in Kingswood/ Cadbury Heath/ and Little Stoke (the library in the Heath is only open 2 and a half days a week; Liddle Stoke hasn't got one; and there's never anyone in the Kingswood one, apart from old blokes having a sit down and a free paper).

"Hit" squad. I'm looking for the word that sums up their choice of that (where's a bookish nerd when you need one?) and I first thought it's a bit "camp," but that's not right. Then "naff," then "cringeworthy." None are quite bang on, anyone else find the word?

Maybe "Schoolboy," it's a bit schoolboyish, what a fourteen year old might call their gang. In 1974. Are they in The Top 40, the Gash Hit Squads??

less of the knocking of Little Stoke, lot of City supporters here!

The Gas lost 9-0 to Tottenham Hotspur (the shit from the Lane).

It's not even Norway but not quite so far overland; thought everyone would complain if you all had to do the Svinesund bridge as well. Asking a bit much, that. You'd all miss Casualty

 

The Svinesund? Is that the noise Swindon supporters make?

Ha... I remember this doco well..... it showed one of my school teachers getting involved down at Eastvile .....   Haven't seen the photos of the nawty buoys with "J Cloths" on the heads for years & years.... 

 

Around same time in the EE there was a group called "Fire Brigade" anyone remember them?

 

If we make this our uniform then we can use the "J Cloths" to mop up any spillages as well .... pwoper clean....

Is this a SAGS thread or a SAGA thread?

How old do you have to be to join in?

You got to be old enough to remember the good old days, Rod, when "sitting down in the road" wasn't enough to get you into "the firm" and old enough to realise "sitting down in the road" (see The Gash it Squab, 2013) is not a good idea, as getting up again is not guaranteed. We didn't get where we are today by "sitting down" in the Old Kent Road in the 80s, ffs. Thugs today-don't know they're (yawn)
