Preston away new years day.

 

Amazed I managed to get to the ground.

 

Even more amazed they let me in.

89 sherpa van trophy at wembley, slept thro the whole match on the floor

we didnt supping til 5

 

mate was up with his expenses card

 

not a great idea

 

that was the night zozzy got chucked out for supping in his seat

Aye it was. I was row behind you lot

 

You piss heads kept banging on about the "'council house"

Haha the Tues night game?

Aye that one, ended up later leathered in a kebab shop forgetting where my hotel was and got a lift back with the Owner

 

Non BWFC related when I worked in London went to Chelsea v Liverpool midweek match with a mate who was mates with city financial dealer types. Was a midweek match so started quite early afternoon. They couldn't be arsed going to the match but left us in the pub saying we could put anything we drank on their tab.

 

After that it only went one way. Can't even remember who won

I once caught a bus to Burnden for a match that was called off, I didn't believe my nan it was off.

 

Looking back not the wisest choice

 

Bradford iirc

were you anywhere near rayvon?

 

Yeah, luckily we didn't bump in to Smiffs for a rugby conversation :thumbsup:

rayvon was fooking leathered in the ground

 

luckily the stewards were laughing at him

The Jaegerbombs in The Manchester had a lot to answer for. In fact, going in The Manchester in the first place has a lot to answer for.

In gumares Spending the night and early next morning singing ricar ricar ricardo!

 

It seems as jules said, i got yhe wrong one!

Shocking!

Stoke in the semi final

villa away in cup semi

 

was my 18th birthday on that very night and i was 'made' to have a top shelfer in the boozer in Aston pre game.

 

Remember absolutely nothing of the game apart from sparking up a massive Cigar going into injury time in celebration..

 

to this day i have no idea how or who gave me the cigar.

Villa away, we really did get away with that by the skin of our teeth. There was one local who looked like a member of Slade going fucking mental, so I was just winding him up.

 

Fucking naughty outside with random slaps being dished out. Our walk back to that Armada pub next to the motorway was moody.

reading away

 

no idea what time we started but it was early

 

remember getting a load of shots in about 2. either got too many or some didn't have them so I ended up having a few.

 

got to the ground at 10 past and had left at 20 past

 

refused entry into yates at 3:30, a new low

 

back to pub by the station, don't remember much

 

cans on the way home and then traded the remaining ones in for two pints with the bar maid at our local

 

best 7-1 defeat ever

Strangely enough, I enjoyed the day out at Reading too last year apart from a 5-10 min sulk in the pub next to the station when I feared getting thumped by 9 or 10 goals.

 

Had a good drink of all of the real ales that landlord had on and a couple of them were strong stuff

you forgot BTP kicking us off the first train we boarded at Reading :shiftyninja:

every away game last season

fulham away when i was about 19. got sacked by bwfc for ballooning hahahaha

stoke semi was optional at 3-0.  chelsea in 95/96- i made it in about half time after raiding the folks spirits and making a 2l mix.  i was 15, and the only time i have spewed on the paddock.  i got as far as sheffield for the leicester 5-0...

 

but by far the worst was barnsley in 00/01.  after sinking far too many stellas we had a few in the leisure centre type place near oakwell.  undaunted seeing scores of whites run down a muddy bank, i decided to give it a go.  just prior to approach i realised my coudroy nicholas deakins had no grip on the sole, and were loosely tied.  rather than take an alternative route, i merely picked up a discarded (broken) umbrella for support, fully expecting in the event of a slip or mishap, to harmlessly float to the ground in a mary poppins stylee... i attempted my descent, and was on my arse within a second.  once i picked myself up off the ground and wiped all the shit off me i was bounced around the stewards like a human pinball and my ticket confiscated.

 

two cheeseburgers later i returned at half time, only to again be politely turned away.  the lovely officer in jodhpurs took exception to my criticising his choice of attire, and enquiring whether the recent foot and mouth outbreak had affected his love life.

 

i believe we won 1-0 (ricketts)

Besiktas for me, and I suspect Smiley as he was asleep behind me in fact he looked dead. :)

You didn't even know what colour we were playing in. :D

Wigan in the League Cup, the evening of our Christmas Party

Newcastle away 2008 - I have since been informed that we lost 1-0 and Nolan missed a penalty.

 

Spent the whole first half asleep in the toilets and remember fuck all about the 2nd half.

Bayern Munich and Sporting Lisbon

 

Very fuzzy memories.

This would be mine as well. All your fault. You missed out the round you bought in the 10 minutes you were in the ground - you handed them out to anyone who would take one then left!

 

The day in Munich is a bit of a blur but I came round when we scored the first and thankfully remember all of the match.

 

Bristol away a couple of years back as well - got lost in the station when I got off the train back. Couldn't find my way out and had to get someone to come and get me.
