Burden Paddock direct in line with the edge of the box, what a view. Better view than Terry Butcher  :D

 

Eeeee we must have been rubbing shoulders and not known it

I was there, Manny Road

Ginger, Ginger give us a song. Ginger give us a song.  

 

Usually it was going to be:

 

Give us a BeE

 

And the resonse would be BeE

 

OoO

 

I'm not going through it all!

 

Or,

 

 

Ev'rywhere we go-o

 

 

 

Great songs for getting crowds going. Do they still do such thing in East Lower?

 

kin ell. i`d forgotton all about that! great memories.

 

i was up in the burndenstand with t`owd chap for that goal, age about 5 or 6 but i remember it clear as anything

 

i graduated to the paddock in the early 80`s

 

its funny what weird memories you have from your early football years.

i remember playing west brom on a day when it absolutely pissed it down. roy greaves tried a backpass and the ball stuck in a MASSIVE puddle and they nipped in and scored to win 1-0.

Flying coffee cup that signalled it was kicking off

 

=D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

 

It's true isn't it; when the Paddock was packed against Leeds or Wolves or someone late 70s you could tell summat was about to happen but it never did until the obligatory coffee had been lobbed. It was like the lights going out at the start of a GrandPrix or the gun at the start of a 100m sprint. There'd be a little pause and then all hell let loose. Perhaps we could get that red ginger to build a pointy statue like the one by Citeh's ground; put it on the site of the Paddock and call it "the c of the coffee".

Everyone who remembers the Paddock, specially from the old days do this now. Deep breath, sit back, close yer eyes and just picture yourself going up the slope from under the stand to the terrace. Couldnt see owt until you got near the top but you hear the crowd and smell the ciggy smoke....

I've got pictures from the Charlton game though unfortunately me very last ever one was fucked up - I tried for one last piccie of the full length of the emptying terrace - but I'd been supping all day and wasn't quite with it and so had me camera back to front and me final majestic picture of the Paddock turned out to be a close up of me gut. #-o

Still I managed to hang back and be in the last dozen corralled in the corner by the Lever End before we had to bow to the inevitable.

It was a shit-heap, but a ragging brilliant one.
