Seeing them Wanderers fans down at Arsenal reminded me of my postponed away games that amazingly enough turned in to megga drinking sessions.

 

Halifax int FA Cup was a classic piss up, Crewe was another

Port Vale (I think), wed paid for the coach so went to chorley for the afternoon, a damper fan of ours went in a batman cape and g-string, it was freezing. Stockport ive got there and it was called off, ive been quite lucky really

 

Capeman...dampner Des strikes again !!!!

Ribble Rable! Ribble Rable! Oi! Oi! Oi!

 

Always went with Ribble Travel back then until one away match down at Orient the driver refused to let a lad on the coach. Poor kid was only about 14 or 15 and had to make his own way home. Can't remember why he wouldn't let him on? however all the way back home the rest of the coach just sang the usual "the driver is a twat" . Decided to make alternative travel arrangements after that.

 

Oh yea just remembered also away at Oldham one boxing day Fucking ribble didn't come and pick us up after the match. Managed to get a bus back home.

 

if I remember right, the driver flagged down some cops and got a few kicked off the bus, right into the middle of Spurs fans, and your right they were only bits of kids

hereford was really good day out,they had a blackboard on carpark saying match off ::,2 coaches escorted out all way back bolton happy days

 

the third game was only a couple of days later, they didn't need 4 weeks notice like they do these days, that was most likely the first time the club layed on free transport, only one supporters club coach went and I think we all got a free ticket for the game

Orient game we were already in London so we decided to go to Wembley & have a look round.

 

We ended up at the Conference Centre where the snooker was being held. Another poster off here fancied one of the huge Union Jacks flying outside so we nipped to B & Q, got a Stanley and he did the business.

 

Had it flying out the window on the way home. It was massive, trailing along the M1 & M6.

 

Only problem was, Dibble were waiting for him when he got home. Shame because it was a cracking flag.
