Things you could do at the goldstone but not at falmer!

[sydney]

buy a jackpot ticket and wait for the guy with the board to walk around the ground to see if you had won.
then jeer at the guy to get out off the way so you could see the bloody game

that was fuckin funny especially across the North Stand "get aaat the waaaay yaaaaa caaaaaant" aaah memories.

Risk getting run over by a light blue invalid carriage!
Sit in the West Stand and enjoy (meant endure) the smell of the toilets below.
See real floodlight pylons.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

1 shake a fence
2 run across the pitch to change stands(if early enough)
3 buy chips
4 smoke
5 climb a tree and get in for nothing
6 escape from the rozzers by going on all fours and crawling through the crowd
what else?

throwing objects at the away fans

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

knock on a certain door AT THE NORTH WEST CORNER AND GET LET IN BY A STEWARD FOR NOTHING

 

[Frank Inkerman]

Watch 4th div footy.

Watch Top Division footy ('til next season that is)

 

[kano]

stand in the street outside and (sometimes) get a free football

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

surge across the terraces while throwing haymakers or WALK INTO THE AWAY PEN WHEN IT TOOK YOUR FANCY

 

[Fef]

Take my dog for his walkies at the right time, so we could watch the second half of the reserves games after they opened the gates at half time.

 

[SOMPTINGULL]

run on the pitch after the game and do cartwheels (I was only 6 or 7 or so at the time)
run on the pitch after the game & pat John Templeman on the back...

 

[Birdie Boy]

Have a scrap..

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Watch Johnny Byrne wink at the North Stand after he just missed an open goal while playing for Sunderland, ensuring they didn't beat us sending us down. Also same match chanting "Johnny give us a wave" while lining up in the wall to defend a free kick. Yes he did give a cheeky wave.

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Finish the first half of a split shift at the dogs at 1, then go to Squash club for few. Go to match, walk back and still be back in kitchens to start work again at 5

 

[FLOG GNAW]

Shit myself without anybody giving me odd looks...


well, I was just a kid.

 

[Amahwrang]

Take a flask of tea, Roast beef sandwich, box of french fancies and eat them all whilst watching the teams warm up whilst sitting down on the terracing (NE).........and something that will never happen again watch your team knowing the next time you see them play (at home) it will be 70 miles away!

 

[Czechmate]

Sit on top of the toilets in the south west corner when the ground was packed against Bournemouth , late 60's early 70's i think . And throw celery in the north.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Go to Hove dogs on Boxing Day morning then stagger down the road for the Albion early kickoff

 

[NMH]

Tell that bloke to put that bloody board down. (edit; this is 'fixtures. the shame )

Watch a player clear a ball, or miscue a shot, and watch the belted leatherware soaring over the stand's roof and into the roads behind.

 

[NMH]

Nick a rozzer's tit-on-his-head and pass it around the N Stand as everyone jeers the flatfoot trying to get it back
