Abstract things that remind you of Latics...


Recommended Posts

Even if it's a Thursday morning you have to have a look up just to check 'who they are'.... Usually just a group of pensioners on there way to Centre Parks

 

 

Defo +1

 

 

+2

and realisation that it is not football fans, always leaves one disappointed

if we're talking music at games ones that stick out for me are "I feel good" and that Gary Glitter song they used to play before kick-off

 

the 'i love you baby' song, and the carnival de paris before kick off if theyre ever played anywhere else.

Fishermans friend sweets & tea in a flask.

 

The woman who used to stand near us always had fishermans friends.

 

My dad has took a flask to a night game ever since I can remember.

Valentines Day! Every single year it reminds me of THAT night when we battered West Ham 6-0 in the 1st Leg of the League Cup semi-final!

 

Snow - Reminds me of our fantastic plastic pitch that we had and the little tractor that would be used to clear the surface prior to the game starting!

 

Black & White inflattable dogs - Yard Dogs!

Anyone with a squeaky voice remembers me of the bloke at the back of the Chaddy End who used to shout out random inaudible things…

 

Tea-urns remind me of the tea-trolleys around the perimeter of the pitch..

 

The smell of a freshly printed programme, takes me back to the mid-80s when I was 9, freezin' my nads off in the Chaddy…

 

The smell of bovril, again back to the Chaddy End

 

Stale pies ditto

 

Cigar smoke ditto

 

 

 

Other memories off topic:-

 

Fanfare for the common man, played before the team came out

 

The teams running out separately, none of this walking out with the ref, and lining up to shake hands bollocks…

 

The old wooden terracing at the back of the Chaddy fenced off

 

The kid with the scruffy long blonde hair who used to push the tea-trolley round the pitch

 

The sight of little orange lights all over the terrace as various fans sparked up..

 

The manky Chaddy End toilets

 

Clinging for dear life on the Chaddy End fence during big games

 

The enormous pies

 

The big bags of crisps

 

Waggon Wheels

 

Klix Gum

 

The clock at the RRE

 

Weatherstall advert on the side of the Main Stand

 

Match Sponsors like Madge and Hoyle, Able Hire Co, Dannimac and Match-Mates when we played a potteries team...
