Elvis took a penalty down Bradford about 15 years ago IIRC.

I can't remember Rotherham and I was driving the hired transit. 13 of us in, no seats.

We went to Wakefield after the game, a fair bit of bother with local Leeds fans. Met up with some other lads who were from Grindon way. 3 brothers (1 out of our van) all got lifted and my best mate. Not great as he was posted in Germany at the time.

I think there was only 7 of us left on the journey home. 4 other lads had had a sniff of local blurt and went AWOL.

He was in our van, Elvis, our lass as snow white and seven others as dwarfs, can t remember Elvis taking a penalty, he did bow at Superkevs feet on the pitch. Elvis was a bit of a bookie on the side, he gave odds of 100-1 that day for SAFC to win 4-1. Four lads on our van backed them. They were jumping up and down when Superkev missed a late penalty and the scorestayed at 4-1. Elvis got locked up lost £1500, had to get ataxi back from Bradford to York to meet us for the night out, still in his fancy dress. He is a respectable self employed plumber these days, had a drink with him last week.

Brilliant mate .... what a day that was, I doubt we'll ever see the likes of it again.

"Great turnout though ..... we had a right laugh in the Shrimpers Bar before the match."


Pedro Central Defender

The match was nothing compared to the entertainment shown by a fella who had climbed up a tv gantry which swayed wobbled shook all ways, good job we won by 1 goal to nil it couldn't have stood much more movement, The trip home was one of the funniest by far. Imagine a minibus decked in red and white and big ftm letters painted on the backdoors which big Dave f had spent all the previous day decking out. His new wheels for family and takin us east Midlands lads to the match. He didn't account for Riv being rat parsed and in a devilish mood. The side door had a slide window which Riv decided to exit and surf the bus while we were doin 60 down the carriageway. Back then Riv had some beef and was a stocky buggy. Half way out of window therubber seal came away leaving Riv hang in out with a whole window section around the waist. He couldn't get back in and couldn't move on to the top. Big Dave F was doin his nut we were aching with laughter. Dave tries to throw him by swerving. We laughed louder Riv hung on Dave got angrier. Not sure what the people at services thought when Dave screeched in. You had to be there.

(Copied & pasted but refers to Dave Fairs who a few on here know.)

Sgt Peppers, Billy Elliot's shop, certain people used to throw jeans out for others waiting outside, I did buy the odd pair.

Ipswich away very early 70's or late 60's. Tennick's buses leaves Dundas St about 11pm, managed to get on same bus as RK and the big lads.
Before going Alan the Bear and J.Summers had a toe to toe outside Marleys top of Roker Ave.
Anyway half way down middle of the night at a service station maybe Linclonshire or somewhere, there was something happened ends up RK and E.Hunter arrested and carted off in I think a little police panda van.
We get to Ipswich early morning, usual routine pinch a few pints of milk off the doorsteps mass game of footy in the local park.We found the public baths were for a couple of bob you could get a towel soap and a steaming hot bath.
As we were coming out Alan Bear being was being arrested after a fracas with some locals outside the baths, he was charged and released later
Pubs open and as usual took over a massive pub there was a few minor scraps, anyway decision was to mass up and take Ipswich's end.
Hell on when we get in then all of a sudden RK and E.Hunter appear turns out they had escaped from the police and hitched to Ipswich unbelievable man.
After the match, this was the days when the buses were allowed to stay until 11pm, there was a big running battle started outside a boozer that spilled over into a nearby graveyard was dark as fuck hard to tell who was who, this big lad with a Crombie and trilby on came at me then stopped as we were about to get stuck in as he saw my scarf. Anyway we got talking after it all calmed down and went back to the pub and had a pint.Since that night me and Big Steph became good mates.
Shite story I know, but this is about mental lads and he was believe me.
Was the Big Steph D from originally Hylton Castle?

Rotherham last match of the season in div 3. We drove down in four cars in convoy all wearing ski masks. Imagine the look on fellow drivers down a1.
We ended up at a pub called Travellers Rest. The pub had a big room at the back and it was full of ours in fancy dress. About four coaches in. We, that is the coaches and our four cars in ski masks got a police escort to the ground..
I remember there was a lot of chew behind the goal we were at, our fans fighting each other and it went on a bit too long TBH.
Our fans were in the seats to the right and it kicked off in there too. Is my mind playing games ?
I remember a lad being taken out of the seats and being placed on a stretcher and being carried round the pitch by St Johns as this was going on we were awarded a penalty.
Eric Gates put the ball down on the spot, The lad on the stretcher was by now behind the goal, he jumped off the stretcher and took the penalty or tried to. I'm sure he was dressed as Batman.
Anyone remember that ?
The pub had those imitation swords and shields on the wall ,well you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know what happened as one of the buses was the Peterlee Pirates and one group of blokes calling themselves the bast###s from Blackhall Colliery sung to the tune of chim chim Cher-ee ,never seen as many budding Errol Flynns in my life. The lad who was on the pitch to try and take the penna was CID from Suddick . Remember Dave Watson coming on the pitch to try and get the Sunderland fans to stop kicking the crap out of each other .canny day like
 
I've noticed that there's less than a handful of trolls (only about 3 or 4) who've made numerous attempts to derail the thread.

So far they've not succeeded and it would be a shame if they were to.



Nothing like as cowardly as posting insults anonymously on a forum, that you'd never dream of saying to someone's face.
i confronted a lad on here last year he gave me over the top stick i found out who he was and seen him in boro pub i pulled him he said it was his yound 17 year son i walked off..... never have i hunted a troll down i did this time some of stuff he said got me big style ..

I was on one of those buses from peterlee eveybody in fancy dress when it kicked off in our end because the police tried to arrest little ridding hood who had just laid out a Zulu warrior 3 horden lads got arrested trying to prevent bowpeep getting pulled out by the coppers . The day just got daft after that with the Zulu warriors fighting with laurel and hardy . We went to Rotherham later for the court case on the horden lads and it was thrown out by the judge who actually laughed when the copper read out his evidence

Fuckin' Hell it sounds like a bad trip on acid man . :lol:
 
I got my pods and kickers from Bronx, on the corner of Crowtree Road and Maritime Terrace. Tiny shop with a spiral staircase for the staff to get more stock from upstairs. Must have had the best part of half a dozen pairs of each over the years.
Loved pods and hated kickers for some reason.
 
Sorry for telling another long 'me' story but I was in the rafters with very dark sunglasses and a white stick shouting abuse at the referee .... you can imagine what ;)

We'd been told the Rotherham pubs would be closed so we stayed on the train until Mexborough and went in a big pub outside the station. I walked in, with @Pedro and Steve creased up behind me, as I was bumping into everything and clipping people's shins with the blind stick.

Those two went to sit down, and get the cards out, as I tapped my way up to the bar and ordered 3 pints while looking the wrong way to the barman. As he put the first pint down I picked up another that a lad on a barstool had and downed half of it. The barman was frantically signalling that he'd pour him another while I took the first of ours to the table. When I came back the barman had given the lad another pint which I picked up and took a big glug. The lad is now miming "What the fuck?" at the barman who's getting really pissed off. I was biting the inside of my cheek trying my hardest not to laugh and my mates were keeping their heads down. The whole pub is whispering and pointing but saying nothing as I stand on people's toes and knock against their tables.

Eventually all the pints are on our table and Pete 'helps me' to my seat.
The pub settles down and conversation starts up again as we get the cards dealt out. After a few hands the big lump at the bar gets off his stool and walks over,
"Hey I thought you were blind."

"I am."

"Well how come you're playing cards?"

Steve stands up in his face and says, "He is ...... they're braille cards!"

It all turned a bit nasty after that but we managed to get out unhurt sadly I think we're barred for life :rolleyes:
I dogged in Rotherham for three months. Station Hotel opposite the old station. Strange place. Braille cards actually exist in case anyone doesn't know.

There are plenty on here marra. It's actually a criminal offence being an internet troll plus it's rather obsessive

There's something I don't really understand on the forum tbh.

Some troll comes on a thread, like this, and calls people an 'internet warrior' because of their stories.

They go on to insult people and say things they'd never dare say in real life.

Surely it's them who are the internet warriors because they'll only ever confront someone on the internet.

Any suggestion of allowing them to insult you in person has them screaming for the Mods.

The bas****ds from Blackhall were led by Tagsy but with Condor ( Davie Condron RIP) part of the legion. both entered the field of play at the landfill in the playoff and enjoyed some overnight hospitality from Northumbria's finest. They both got a taste for it as they went back lots of times for more.
We were going into the Rink one Saturday night with the Wingate lot and Condor was turned back at the door as he was dressed "inappropriately" .......he had trainers on.
Twenty minutes later he joined us at the bar " how the fuck did you get in?"
" I cowped the Hot Dog Man" !!!!!!!!!
He'd done a deal with the guy from the burger van parked outside and swapped shoes for 3 hours!!!!!!!
