Celery?

[Whitterz]

I know it started back at the Goldstone days, but how did it come about, and why tickling some ladies bum with a stick of CELERY?

If you can't make her cum, that's when you tickle her bum with said stick of celery. SIMPLES

I know chelsea have famously always done it. Maybe its a general copied football tradition never to be understood........a bit like chris kamara or jimmy hill.

I thought we started it and it came from a time when virtually everything was considered an offensive weapon and you were barred from taking such items into a ground but celery/ Well, who could you hurt with that?

That's my recollection too - but in the end it was also banned wasn't it?

Wasn't there a Celery Liberation Army or CL Front or something too?

They tried to confiscate it at Ashton Gate - the game our long streak without a loss ended. I blame the police and stewards for the defeat.

 

[Whitterz]

how the bloody hell did it get past stewards. There was shit loads of celery being lofted about.

 

[Arong692]

haha it was me and my mates brought all the celery into the ground got loads of the stuff for £2. Just hid it at bottom of our bags on arrival and stewards just asked what was in our bag and bobs your uncle! certainly added to the atmosphere!

 

[Whitterz]

It did make me chuckle. Good work

 

[Superseagull]

After they banned celery we started bringing pepperami (salami) into grounds. I can remember an evening game at Pompey when hundreds of stickes of salami were chucked about the terrace and at the stewards.

I loved the whole celery thing! Again soon i hope!

 

[BensGrandad]

I remember when alcohol was banned in grounds going to an England v Scotland game at Wembley and loads of jocks eating oranges they had impregnated with vodka.

On the celery I always thought that it was Chelsea who started it the same as they did throwing bananas at Keith Dublin.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I remember Keith Dublin getting some dreadful stick playing for us at Stanford Bridge. I was sitting in the chelsea stand (went with a chelsea supporter) and I can say that I have never heard abuse like it. Even little kids were pouring opprobrium onto him

 

[Arong692]

thanks for the appreciation. Its stupid that its been banned i mean who is it going to harm? Anyway glad you all enjoyed the laugh. I thought someone might have a rant but obviously not!

Celery, celery, we're the famous Brighton 'n Hove Albion and we're throwing celery!
