Hmmm soapy tit wank

It made me chuckle.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Ace. Tbf that's quite a funny site by the looks of things.

I went to that Christmas 86 game. It's one of my favourites in a fearing for my life kind of way.

That was quite an amusing read I have to say.

Interesting to see that they liked Lester Shapter about as much as we used to! He was one God awful referee :?

Those Gillingham play off games were utter quality 8)

Jills fans really are some sad twats...half the stuff they ratlle on about never happened....back in the 70's early 80's, it was fairly common for there to be trouble off the field.

   Stuff against the Jills was pretty mild.....I recall posting this pic from 80, which gives a flavour of the sort of anarchy that could reign for a big game at the CG....when you'd have to have your head clear, or get it kicked in.

That's a great old photo Reg. More please?

Has this bloke acually been to Gillingham?

pot,kettle,black springs to mind! or simply CUNT.

that was a good read.

Remember that game, not as scary as wolves away in the semi or eastville, seems like every other game back then was like that!

I liked this bit:



Are they trying to say something about Carson?  :soapy tit wank:

I like their rise to stardom with their amazing year of being on the telly 'twice'.

:mrgreen: I don't hate them at all, but what a cock. If he thinks Swindon is one o the most fearful events on the football calender then he needs to get out more.

Carson would never have a season ticket - were not on TV enough for him to attend!

Huntley a town fan? what the fuck

And they hate McMahon - hope he gets the job

What a stupid twit :wanker:

Very funny... Agree with Reg though and have to say that in my opinion this obsession(?) with Gillingham is laugable.
Been to Gillingham on a couple of occassions and all 3 playoff games and I was either looking the other way, have a poor memory (possibly) or cannot remember any trouble.

However, any London club, Portsmouth, Oxford, City, Sheff Utd etc in the 70's & 80's in the town end, magic roundabout etc and you are talking about a different story. Have I forgotten anybody else?

I went to all the play off games, and the 79 game as well as the christmas game at Priestfield and there was trouble at those games like I have never ever seen in 30 odd years of following Swindon, how the hell you could say you missed all the bottles and bricks being thrown INSIDE the ground is beyond me, the place is evil and so are the supporters with their hatred of us.

loads of old bill by the bulldog

On many accounts that away fixture in 1986 is the worst violence ever inside the ground at a Swindon match.

Thats probably the only remarkable thing about Jills.

i was at the 86 game and it seemed to me like any other game around that time. coins, rushing of crowd by police, tryin g to climb fences.

big scrap down shrivenham road after, i was talking to phil kings mum at the time!

They are also stupendously thick and smell of pig shit ??????
At least our football team isnt shit

welcome back steve, i see you havent been on here for a while?

thanks and yes true  :wink:

You go away? Jills in the away end?

i did go away, no jills in our end but the fucking police confisctaed my celery before i could chuck it everywhere.

it was pretty tasty outside after, but this is a report from a 15 year old who went with his mates parents from school. (it was a school night and a bloody long way pre M25)

selhurst park was carnage after the game i had to hide under a car.i couldnt fucking fit under one now :D

The Christmas game referred to above was in the afternoon, and deffo not a school night. I still remember embellishing the details after a couple of snakebites at a 6th form disco at Witney Rugby Club that night.

There were plenty of Jills in our end, and it did get nasty but not for long - inside the ground at least it was nowhere near the worst trouble I've ever seen.  Outside it was menacing but I didn't see or hear anything.

We ended up giving a lift home to one of Swindon's supposed 'finest' from the time who'd gone down for the trouble.....except he was too scared to go back on the train.  He perked up once we were back on the motorway, mind.

aah maybe im mixing it up with the play off night?

What is the worst trouble youve seen inside the ground at a Swindon game then?!!!!!!!!!!

bournemouth, believe it or not was always a bit mental. plus the scum

Pompey at home early eighties.

Never been so fucking scared in my life

i witnessed leeds,shitty,poxford, all running riot here during my youth.
even watford had a pop outside the shrivvy road once!

Glory hornets, you hornssssssssssssss

 :shock:

:D

Mmmmm, possibly Bristol City at home, early 80s when they took to ripping up the terraces and chucking them at Shrivvy Road Town fans.

A particularly dull end of season 0-0 I think, like that's an excuse.

birmingham city was a bit tasty, but normally it was pompey and bournemouth.

i remember leicester at home running the shrivy road late 80s early 90s i think? first game of season?

me unc took me to fergusons 1st game as manager of man utd in 86 at the scum-now that was scary...funny as fook tho looking back as the mancs trashed the joint after getting beat. brick throwing at buses and all sorts.

  The game v Rovers that season was even worse....it was the game where the terracing stancions were ripped from the concrete and used to batter out the cladding at the back of the Shrivenham Road....meanwhile random scraps were breaking out even in the Arkells.....hails of concrete were lobbed back and forth between the fans on either side of the fence.

 A bit after that, I had reason to be treated to a tour of the insides of the Fleming Way police station and ended up somewhere on the top floor....to my amazement it was a sort of trophy room, where the walls were plastered with pics of OB battering heads, amongst the mayhem that kicked off that day.  Very strange.

 Think the Rovers game this season, if it gets played might be tasty.

I remember Leicester being a nightmare in the early ninetees ...

 I don't....I recall one game where they had a bit of a go on the pitch at the end of the game, but it came to nowt.  The PO game (we've not played them since) was quality.....in some big boozer in Wembley High Street beforehand, one half red one half blue...both singing, then hand shaking at the end and best of luck stuff as it should be.

Then I must be dreaming Reg, because I remember everyone running for safety. I'm sure it was Leicester!

 Think you must be....old skool trouble, had largely died down by the late 80's...those were the days of fences, reduced capacities and membership schemes...the TE wasn't the place to be as you could see fuck all due to fencing to the roof....the membership scheme could allow OB to eject over 200 fans v Oldham and confiscate their cards.  You'd get the odd skirmish, but nothing serious.

That Leicester game was much ado about nothing - they ran on the pitch and looked to get in the Shrivvy - about 20 Swindon lads stayed and it all died down.
Worst at Swindon was OUFC when we won when the smoke bomb was thrown in the goalmouth and we scored the winner. The Magic was unbelievalbe that day - cop card driving into groups of fans - dogs off the leash.
Away from home, Gillingham in 80 was bad. City when we stopped them in the play offs was fairly unhealthy. Any trip to Boro.

Reg 'this rarely happens double time' I have to disagree with you (rare) AND agree with Dell (likely as rocking horse plop) but he is right. Leicester away when we had 2 sent off it all kicked off outside when they knocked over a flimsy crash barrier between the 2 exits, some of them even got up inside our exit stairs. It was still going off in the streets around the ground 20 minutes later, saw several Town cars smashed up and a group of about 15 Leicester running from about 6 of our more serious.

The original point was about Leicester at the CG....can't comment on the away game, wasn't there.

AHEM! Does this post not contradict your signature line just a TINY BIT!

True, but I used to live in Bushey outside Watford and have a soft spot for them!

 Back in 68/69....there was a fair bit of trouble v Watford.  This was in the days before segregation.... at Vicarage Road some Watford fan set fire to my mates hair :D , so it kicked off.

  At the return game, this was the 28,898 game,  played on a Saturday evening, a load of Rovers fans turned up, who'd had trouble with Watford...when the Watford fans came out the station giving it large, they were met by both lots and were forced to run or hide.

ha ha ace reg! Do you remember the old allotments at the back of the away end?!

 They were still there the last time I went.....which was probably the 4-0 White hat trick game, but somehow seems more recent.   Have they gone now then?

mainly a new stand now I believe, however they are still there in the minority now, often where it used to go off I believe

Wasn't that the one we lost 1-0 (Barry Endean ?), and it was on the same night as the Eurovision song contest I believe (I think Lulu won with "boom, bang a bang")

  Shh...I'm still trying to forget,  Endean that is.  Lulu though despite the daft name has still got a bit about her....no wonder Take That did a song with her.

   Bit of class......shame about the Port Vale fan.

Can't remember Lulu's effort but I certainly remember Barry Endean's ! the only home defeat that season , cost us the championship that year......

   :nod:  bummer we've never been through a season undefeated at home....as in 95/96 when we lost to Shrewsbury, we lost a game. Wont happen this season either

admit is unlikely this season.  :-))(
