Originally posted by CroydonCaptainJack View PostI watched us play Oldham in there once. I seem to recall we were four nil up and then they came back to 4-3 and we were holding on a bit at the end. Again, I am not sure but I have a feeling Simon Stainrod impressed us playing for them that day.

When I first started going very few people had cars and trains were to expensive for ordinary people so there wasn't really any away fans. Used to change ends quite a bit to the end Rangers were attacking. Memory of the away end is a ball sailing over my head and as I turned it hit the lip of the steps and flew back and hit me in the face. A dirty, wet gritty leather ball.

We played Chelsea in the FA cup quarters finals in 1969, i got a ticket for the School End.
Alot of the young kids, me included were lifted over the wall onto the pitch edge as the terrace was packed, I spent most of the match sat on my behind next to the goal, I had a great view of Venables twice taken penalty.I have supported Rangers for 55 seasons, since March 1969.

I think we spent a whole season in the School End.
It was after they put the roof on and was then working on the loft.
Don't think there is a part of the ground I haven't stood or sat in.
In reference to cost of trains, anyone else use to collect washing powder tops to get the 2 for 1 BR ticket deals to get to away games?Minds Are Like Parachutes.

i've never been in our away end, i've sat among reading fans 2 seasons ago though when we won 1-0 but hated it as i was too nervous to properly celebrate. only reason i sat there was coz my sister was banging lucas piazon when he was on loan there and got free tickets all the time

Sure it started just as the Inter City 125 started running from Bristol to London and the ground was swamped with City fans all after a row

Anyone can play the numbers game, they was always loads of them in home areas just like the other Big London clubs,
West Ham pretty much met no opposition.

Originally posted by MrSwakeley View PostI mentioned this a while back; there were a few geezers behind the goal about 20 rows up who would shout out "Die" at the opposing goalkeeper. But rather bizarrely they would shout out the name of the previous keeper - so against Coventry, who had Neil Ramsbottom in goal, they would shout "die Glazier", and against Stoke with Shilton in goal, it would be "die Banks". Most memorably, against Everton, with David Lawson between the sticks, they shouted "die Davies".
This really did happen, unless I inhaled too much of that ganga from the balcony.

Originally posted by Mooo block View PostHe used to shout the other scores out as the game went on, had 5-live on his headphones and was particularly interested in Brentfords score. Always shouted theirs out for some reason. Looked like a tramp and was still wearing that old home shirt years later. Bless the fella.
Think his name was dave the tramp.
Always carried a shopping bag with sandwiches in it.
We used to keep a two meter perimeter around him because he stunk the place out.
There was also a Harold Bishop lookalike and a fella that used to shout, Bury him on the spot, to any oppo player who was lying down injurednsa/cia spy on this..............┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

Mind you that was 1947!!I must away now, I can no longer tarry
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms I love the most
