sglosbcfc Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I've seen so many City matches over so many years and yet some strange non football directly related memories lodge in my mind, but my question, did they actually happen or is it the old mind playing tricks - 1. 1986 Wembley final, a busty young blonde lady gets her baps out during the game. As I wasn't yet a teenager and was at the game with my parents I just went beetroot and room as many sneaky looks as I could, I'm sure that happened? 2. Around 1988 ish, away match at Aldershot, mid week possibly Leyland Daf Trophy, IRA bomb scare and the City fans (about 300) had to make our way into a park for 15 mins whilst the ground was checked. I think I have that right? 3. Around 1990ish, Blackpool away, their toilet 'facilities' were simply a wooden wall that you p*ssed on. Not sure what you did if you wanted a number 2, were female, disabled or all three! 4. City v Cardiff late 80s I think, the Cardiff fans lifted/tore down the huge red iron gates that prevented away fans from getting at home fans. If my memory is correct they lifted them in unison and they suddenly fell forward and then all hell let loose. finally 5. Hull away about 12 years ago and a mini bus of City supporters made their way out of the stadium stopping every hundred yards to punch out some Hull fans then get back on board and travel on. I was watching from a mate's car and was amazed they got away with it. There were police about but they did nothing. Anyone remember any of the above or am I finally losing it?

Rudolf Hucker Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 At Wembley in '86, you did go beetroot red and take a number of sneaky looks. I remember it well. I wish now though I'd never taken off my shirt. P.S. I'm not a natural blond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poland_exile Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 a mate of mine told me about a time when he was a kiddy stood in the grandstand enclosure and some right sort was getting her charlies out in the seats - I'm reckoning we had a serial flasher in the 80s. My moment of madness relates to Jacki v Ipswich. Clear as day I remember him pelting along and flicking the ball over his head like Pele did in Escape to Victory. No-one i know remembers this, though i think in recent times people have come forward on this forum saying they also remember this. Till then, for years I thought I had gone mental.

A Horse With No Name Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 My surreal moment is also from the early 80s and in the enclosure. Was stood next to a chap and his son who must have been about 12. The dad took out 2 cigars and lit them and him and his boy smoked them together. Also on the subject of smoking. In the Williams car park just a couple of years ago, three teenage girls about 13 walking along smoking, e-cigarettes. I tell you, rebels aint what they used to be.

Wanderingred Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I have this weird memory of a game in my childhood where we played Pompey. A man next to us was very vocal and was constantly shouting "come on you Bristol robins" all by himself. About mid way through the second half, he suddenly switched allegiances and started shouting "come on Pompey" instead. Bizarre but I was so young that I may have imagined it.

adamski Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Cardiff game, they did not rip the gates off their hinges, but some dozy steward left it open a tad, upon spotting this the Cardiff element streamed in looking to exchange niceties with their City comrades, I was just getting a bovril and with several other brave chaps ran straight into the ladies and laid our bodies on the line holding the door shut as several welsh gentleman attempted entry! The Park End gents soon made their way down from the terrace and the usual happened with the Police ensuring all the Cardiff chaps were on the right side of the gate- Once informed of this by our look out (stood atop a toilet squinting through a high window vent) we made our way out into the fresh air.

pongo88 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I can remember the busty lady (who could forget her) though I don't know if it was v Bolton or Mansfield. I can also remember travelling to the match and passing a double decker bus on the motorway. Nothing unusual in that you say, but this one had the lower floor converted into a pub. Beer barrels set up and City fans standing and knocking back a few pints. I've often wondered if they were in a fit state to watch the match.

handsofclay Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I have to think twice on an incident in about 1978 or 79 in a game v Nottm Forest that they won 3-1. City pulverized them and won nearly 20 corners. On one occasion when we had yet another near miss the world cup ref ( loved by the Brazilians) who was officiating, Clive Thomas, reacted like a City fan and put his head in his hands. I was at the match but didn't notice it but recall it being on The Big Match with Brian Moore asking Thomas about doing this in response to a question from a viewer who had spotted it. Even though Thomas was Welsh...and in the 70s I suppose City were the nearest top flight club to Wales, I also recall he sent Everton's Thomas off at AG for calling him a ******* cheat.

BobbyC Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I could tell you many stories that would make your hair curl but one of the strangest/funniest was coming back from Peterborough on a 24 seater (?) minibus when a double extension aluminium ladder was spotted leaning against a house with a pot of paint etc.The bus stopped and the ladder was quickly slid down the middle of the bus and on we traveled back home. I would have loved to have seen the guys face when he came back out the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Driving down M5 for a game at Torquay and a transit van went past at about 90mph with two bare bums pushed up against the back door windows, My wife laughed so much that the inevitable happened and we had to pull off at the next services to change her knickers. On a non City note, many years ago driving on M1 near Newport Pagnall services and a car went past with licence plate PEN 15. I laughed so much I cried and couldn't see where I was going!

Lack of Action Man Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Most surreal moment for me was feeling the Williams shake after Christian Roberts goal vs Hartlepool. Crikey that was an experience. I'm told the Dolman also felt a shake, but a much stronger one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 The only moment I'm unsure of was a game I think I went to once, except I'm not sure it happened. Only memory of it is someone (amankwaah?) getting stretchered off near the end and then us dropping a point or 2 by conceding afterwards. Want to say an away game, but getting more and more doubtful that it actually was a real game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
