the bit about the away steward made me smile...
Transferred him in from Shrewsbury no doubt!the bit about the away steward made me smile...
I concur. Started reading it at 10am mindF*ck me, 'ramble' doesn't do that justice
Seriously though, a very good read.
If it was 1968 I'm afraid it was only 3-1.What are SW fans moaning for. When they were in the old 1st Division we beat 'em 4-1 in the Carling only 4 days after they beat Liverpool 4-1 (1 think) at Anfield.
I remember standing in the BB for that game and there was no crowd segregation then. Wednesday fans were telling anyone who would listen that Big John (Ritchie???) would be coming on 2nd half and things would return to normal. They did, we continued to score and they didn't!
We've gone a up little in the world since then, whilst they have come tumbling down. Get used to it SW fans, you are just a League 1 team, like we are.
You have all the trappings of a big club agreed, but a team that is clearly League 1. You play the team, not the club.
The league position doesn't lie.
Stop living on past glories and get a grip!
Now, where did I put that valium!
I love it mate, what's not to like?Great post from Beastie.Must have a read of the ramble during (most of) the mas hols.
What did he make of the away terrace?
Really enjoyed reading that - it's funny how it's more often than not that it's the footy that spoils a cracking day out - however, and it's probably just my soft southern shandiness coming through, but it did start to get a bit irritating reading 'chuffing' and 'fooking' two or three times per sentence.My version of events is here...
Were you lucky enough to use the away end toilets? +o(I love it mate, what's not to like?
Open ended standing terrace, it's heart of football stuff.
We went back to Brentford this season and they've changed it there, covered what used to be the away end and it's not the same.
I'm not a modern ground type of footy fan, there's exceptions but most of em are much of a muchness and have Ikea stamped all ower em, go to a ground like yours and it just oozes proper footy.
