my old man was telling me about watching the town in 80's and that there was celery being thrown about in the ground.  anyone got any footage of that? sounds bloody mental

I remember being at Selhurst park v Gills in the play offs singing the celery song. I was about 8 years old. I also remember thinking, "if she doesn't come where?"

You don't know the celery song???  :yikes:

nope, i've never heard of it until last week, would be ace to do somthing mental like that

... I recall large amounts of celery being launched around at the FA Cup game at Fulham a couple of years back... Highly amusing!

Celery is evil.  Pointless.  And stinks.  Dont bring that back.

I still have a paper cutting from one of the papers because celery was banned at the CG.

It got so bad at one point that there were stalls on the roads to the ground selling it.

I also remember at the play-off semi final at Wigan where the Town fans were grabbing hand fills of grass & mud from the bank on the away end & were throwing that in the air instead, whilst singing the song.

Best use for the stuff.

Isn't celery banned from Stamford Bridge because they used to throw it too?! What is that all about?

In the play-off home game with Wigan a few days later,it was flying about.Ban or no ban.

A mate of mine was interviewed live on the radio before the Gillingham play-off final and asked
the words to the song,by none other than Vic Morgan  ;)

'If she don't come I'll tickle her bum with a lump of celery - celery ooh ah, celery ooh ah'

Away to Notts County that season they ran out of celery so a load of other vegetables were brought into the ground and launched into the air. Cauliflowers hurt. The sprouts weren't so bad.
Celery got banned because some bright sparks decided to freeze the celery and put razor blades in it and throw it into the away fans.

Any chump who does't know the celery song is a bunch of gay tit biscuits.

I remember the Gillingham play off away match.  They tried stopping people bringing Celery into the ground. There were were bags and bags of celery outside the away end.

As soon as we got into the ground and the song started, there was loads of celery flying in the air

 :wotjump:

It happened at Barnet away in the JPT area final 1st leg as well this season...the lads throwing it were loving it, as were most of the fans around that area...thinking of taking some Tuesday!

Ha ha, great stuff.  I was there and missed that

There was someone started the song off and throwing handfuls of the stuff around in the Green Man last Sunday.
 :clap:

Brilliant that was, you do well don't you!

Looking for a repeat mate this Tuesday  ;)

Pretty certain Celery is banned from the CG

Had a brief glimpse at the sign of banned items on my way into the TE today. Didn't think to check whether celery was on the list!

Not keen on celery anyhow

The celery at that game was Co-OP Charing Cross Celery!!! Expensive London celery!

I had my celery confiscated by police before the gills play off game at preistfield, i pleaded that it was my dinner but they were having none of it :)

  I'm surprised they can ban it, is it classed as an offensive weapon. They don't take your coins off you but do celery in case it gets thrown around  :hmmm:

Sure a mass celery happening was planned the last time we played at Reading?

here's some chelski singing it
