f***ing hell man, this place at times.

On the roof there is a tripod. To the right of it is a bloke in a donkey jacket, then me in a green coat, then my mate in a blue coat.

@andy has known me 30 odd years (and the lad in the blue coat) and @mini-x2 has known me for over 20.

I don't tell lies, cheers.

1:07 as Reiver says. There's a lad sat looking to his left plain as day on the roof wearing a green coat.

Could be you're colour blind? They say reds & greens are the colours affected in many males

I'm sorry, I can see a lad in a turquoise T shirt but nobody in a green coat (or jacket).

As I've said before I have no wish to take this thread off topic (so would apologise to Keith and anyone else who believes I must be colour blind), so I think it's best left there - unlike the person who "liked" your post but has a reputation for doing just that.
 
I might sound like a reet tart but I honestly don't feel as though I've missed out on something in life by NOT going to an away game in a box transit with no seats or windows at sides/rear!!
Some of u daft feckers actually slept overnight in them fhs !!
The 'aroma', puke, nee proper sleep, feeling rough as a badgers arse etc etc defo not for me.
Kipping on the floor of a mates uni/poly flat seems like luxury now :lol:

Sleeping in a transit, that's heaven man ;) . Some away game mid '70's FW's bus picked me up at Donny, 2 am as usual. Anyways we stopped off somewhere as usual but the driver wasn't the usual one. He forgot to drop me at Ponte as usual so woke up in a drunken haze at Scotch Corner, by now about 3am. Got dropped off, frosty as fuck & slept in the bus shelter. Woke about 6 covered in ice. Walked into Richmond to try & find a way home - no traffic about to hitch. Spent my last cash on a bus to Darlo, jumped the train to Wakey & got home mid afternoon - 36 hrs after setting off. I'll be fucked if I can remember where the match was mind ;)

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.

Maybe my suggested colour blindness causes a problem for me between green and blue but (as I've now posted a couple of times) I have no wish to take this thread off topic and would apologise to your goodself and anyone else who thought I was trying to do that, rather that just saying that I couldn't see anyone wearing a green coat or jacket.

Sometimes you had to laugh to stop you crying mate.

Here's a long story cut short.

Me and Robin Connelly picked up by Frankie's bus at Mansfield, Friday night, and stopped at Rugby Welfare, as usual, on the way back.

The local lasses loved it but the lads weren't as keen, we came out to a reception committee spread across the road, cue ructions.

Back on the bus I notice Robin was missing so I jump off, leg it back and find him with some lass spread across the bonnet of a car.

Stuck in Rugby, stayed at the lass's mam's and off to the station Sunday morning to spend a fortune on a train to Nottingham .....
...... stopped for a few pints and eventually home in time for bed and work the next morning.

Like lots of lads I can remember everyone detail except the match or the score :lol:

We went to Ipswich in a long wheel base transit, leaving at midnight on the Friday. We had borrowed some deckchairs for the paupers in the back, whilst me driving, and two others were in the front.

The cab was sealed off from the back of the van and had a little glass window as a divider. It was about minus 6 degrees and there was no heater in the back of the van. In the cab we had the heater on full blast and it was so hot we took our shirts off just to annoy them in the back who by now had frostbite.

The 3 of us were pissing ourselves laughing all the way down the A1, whilst the screaming fannies in the back were clawing at the window shouting 'gis a turn in the front yer bastards, a cant feel me feet'.

Cheers mate.

Here's me with me Mam, circa Xmas 1984, either heading off to the boxing day game (my 18th birthday) or Newcastle on New Years Day 1985.

Note the german helmet haircut, lovely sheepskin and skin tight bleached jeans :)

The York game was about 3 years later.
