Oh I remember it well Dolly............................ I used to get to watch Combination League on the saturday morning for ex-husband's brother, him in the afternoon wherever he happened to be playing, then effing MoD on telly on sunday. I hate football now obviously. Now Charlton Athletic had the weirdest ground with that Mount Everest of a terrace - is it still there or was it closed down as dangerous ?Well,round ere just down the road to me they have Leyton Orient,been going for years,very,very devoted followers typical of devotees they take the piss out of the team,I used to go with ex husband many years ago,always remember when we played a cup game behind us sitting was Rodney Marsh (remember him)? And Terry Venables taking the piss out of the state of the ground
My Lord I went all over the UK from Plymouth to Carlisle over the years with some pretty scary experiences really, mostly compliments of Man U's charming fans. One occasion we were herded quickly into the railway signal box at Old Trafford as a riot erupted outside with united's fans scrapping with ours and the cops failing to stop any of it. There were a dozen of us locked in the signal box with a policeman until it all calmed down. which happenned when someone said "We're missing the match!" they shrugged their shoulders and ran down to the stadium Another time on the football special (the train) from London directly to Old Trafford Station as we entered the environs of Manchester everybody was told to get on the floor with our heads under the seats due to missiles being hurled, then BAM a paving slab hit the train roof with a hail of stones crashing into the windows narrowly missing one of the blokes with us! Scary indeed. In any case NONE of this WAG rubbish comes as any surprise to me because I've been there, seen it, done and got the tshirt - furthermore I am delighted to say that I successfully repelled one of That Species who was after my daughter a couple of years ago HA!
Right time to go now; Not sure when I'll be around tomorrow because we want to start the wallpapering -best make sure I wear ear-defenders due to all the moaning TTFN xxx
