It is an unfortunate reality of football that, no matter the past generosity of chairmen and other board members, there comes a time when supporters demand even more and vent their anger when their demands are not met: Thank You Harry for, inter alia, our new stand, now get out of 'our' club. I just hope similar sentiments are never directed at Steve Lansdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember the old one word 'Cider' song; Cider, Cider, Cider, Cider Cider, Cider, Ciderrrrrrrrrrrrrr Cider, Cider, Cider, Cider Cider, Cider, Cider Replace the word, 'cider' with 'Harry' and then picture the middle of the EE turning towards the Grandstand - in this case the Director's Box - with scarves above their heads and serenading Harry Dolman. I saw it happen many times. I don't remember the sentiments in your post Phil, I've no memory (from my first games in 69/70) of Harry Dolman being anything but very popular.

Fred Ford was the manager when I first started watching City back in 1965, the season following their 1964/65 promotion, and I can only recall happy times and crowds that season, tarnished somewhat personally by my parents' refusal to allow me to attend the Wolves floodlight game (too young!) and John Atyeo's sad retirement (as a young boy following his exploits during the promotion season in the Green'Un I was convinced he could have continued for several years more, a la Roy of the Rovers). I then seem to recall several disappointments during the next few years; notably the sale of personal favourites Bobby Kellard and Chris Garland and the less than fantastic appointment as manager of Alan Dicks: Who? As we all know, Alan Dicks achieved promotion to Division One, but I remember clearly the 'Dicks Out' chants - I was probably still too young to appreciate the 'humour' in those chants, but remain convinced that there was also some animosity towards Harry Dolman OBE. Memory plays strange tricks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same tempo - it was slower - or guttural elongation of the final ciderrrrrrrr ( & Harrrrrrrry) in the 2nd line of the chant from the EE I put up earlier, but not far off. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
