Krimzon Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) ball getting hoofed up onto the Paddock roof and bouncing down to "hissssssssssssssssssssssssssss" An the one time it happened everyone missed it. Home to Burnley at Easter I believe after a "shot" from Stevie Elliot. Shadowfen ! The guy was called Kevin Francis I think. For me it was seeing that little blue plastic disabled car that was allowed to drive into "the moat" at every game so the old boy could watch the match. Top man. Edited November 19, 2007 by waddy256

bolty58 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 fook me, i could be here all night That's why I have not started. I have so many Lever End memories from the late 60's / early 70's; Burnden Paddock memories mid 70's / 1988, I could be adding to this thread for a month. Ain't starting :p
trotter58 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 notts county away 6 nil half time. sheff utd new years eve 5 niller. I was at both of those games. After the Notts County debacle, our coach caught up with the player's coach on the motorway on the way back from the game. Cue moonies, v-signs and general abuse being hurled at them. Needless to say their driver floored it!
Zozzy Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 the trolleys going round the pitch during the game selling bovrilI had a go at doing this for a bit of pocket money, but it wasn't a trolley it was a big heavy plastic tray in front of you like them warbys bread tays. There was a thick leather strap that went around your neck and the tray rested on your belly. I sold the usual stuff like smaks and probably 'Golden Wonder' crisps and Marathon bars. I walked round the pitch in the gravel track, it was a bastard trying to squeeze past the light blue charoits. A mate of mine(BigE) did this job against Everton late 70s, walking past the Embankment the scousers swore and spat at him, nicked the goods of his tray and chucked cofee on him. He decided not to bother again after that.

trotter58 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 I was a ball-boy in the promotion season. We were issued with a bright yellow tracksuit, several sizes too big, with 'Cambrian Soft Drinks' on the back. I remember a night match against Crystal Palace when they were managed by Terry Venables. I was waiting in the player's entrance before the match when Frank Worthington arrived wearing a tassled jacket and cowboy boots! We had to form a 'Guard of Honour' for both teams when they ran out onto the pitch. I remember Vince Hilare patting me on the head as he ran past. I was positioned within ear-shot of the dug-outs for most of the game. The language was unbelievable!

indra Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 At home to Stoke in 1977 I think, both sets of fans using the segregation fence on the embankment like a tennis net as bricks stones etc came flying over at each other. Loads hurt that day
