In the vid I posted, you can hear someone echoing TH's "Come on you Reds". That was, I think, a guy we only ever knew as 'Jack' who regularly stood a few rows behind me at the back of the enclosure, by the wall of the Grandstand. He had a voice which would strip wallpaper and was used frequently to berate referees and in particular, Keith Fear! Another character I remember from those days stood in the Open End - a big muscled guy I knew as 'Mervyn'. He was a lovely, funny guy but I would never have wanted to cross him! You wouldn't phone a hotline to complain about him, that's for sure! Such characters seem to have disappeared from today's more sanitised football crowd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 That Fewer is still banging on about corruption in the UWE negotiations. Clearly he is over looking the fact that a deal was reached, but Wally didn't fancy it. And also, if he was so minded, he could submit a FOI request to UWE to get answers to their questions.
