Somewhere like that Oslo - was it palo in with Palace fans away in league cup years ago
[/quot


I did not go to last league cup game at selhurst park when I think SOD was the manager
So can't comment on what paylo got up to.

I did go to the league cup  2nd leg game there against place about 35 years ago .rovers got beat but
best memory of this game was the coach that I went down on never turned up outside the ground after the game.

There was a coach load of us all stood outside selhurst park on the street corner and everyone else
had fcuked off home ages ago ,even floodlights were turned off.

Then the police came by and asked us what we was all upto .thry was told that our coach had not turned up to take us back to pubcaster.

Police got on the radio and sometime later our coach turned the corner  and the dirty bas**rd of the coach driver had a brass sat on the front seat ,seems he was sawing said brass in half when plod found him parked up.

This is no way to run a  official supporters coach might I add ,driver should at least have offered the brass around

Premo used to sup with us in the Winning Post and would run buses to games ever so often (usually at a loss to himself). I remember going in the back of a Luton van from the Winner to Cambridge and Burnley for Tuesday night games in the 80's. The Burnley game was the 1st time I can recall seeing a DDR calling card. Some of the lads in the van had them. If I remember correctly The Vicar was the driver of the van to Cambridge.
Last I heard was he had a bad fall down some steps while working for Bradford Park Avenue and due to complicatuions with the op to put it right, ended up disabled and in a nursing home in Edlo.

I was in bank of that Luton van fella the one to burnley

Do you recall the massive Cadburys cream egg fight in back if said van .some ddr lad had nicked a full box of them from the services and it got quite messy in back of that van with cream eggs been launched between the back and front in the back of the van.

If you got one of them cream heads at full pelt to side of yer head you knew about it

Monte as in monty ? If so I was on understanding that he moved out to Scunthorpe

Recall him on the train to the Chester play off game he had a large cocoa cola plastic fizzy pop thing
from macdonalds .he threw all the cola away and filled it with som'ert called 20/20 then necked it all before train stopped at Rotherham.

If you mean the blind man who by his appearance has been blind from birth, then I am sure he still goes, with a helper, and uses the west stand.

I first remember him in around 1982 at an away FA Cup early round at Chester's old ground.  We had just lost 3-1 and he was in the midst of the throng on the terraces shouting thr "beer beer we want more beer" chant...

Sounds like him ,that was a brutal game from memory

[Draytonian III]

Chainy, think his first name was Raymond

Chainy, think his first name was Raymond

Said lad is one of me best mates at rovers  fcuk he has been in some situations over the years at rovers.doubt you will see him down there anymore as he has doing a blinding job at the Hawthorne
club cantley .

He had a bas**rd terrible snoring issue as it was like a German Panza division was starting up
in the room .i roomed with him at Bournemouth away in the facup and he said 'ddr don't stress about my snoring as I have got this great stuff that I squeeze a drop or two into my mouth before I sleep and no snoring'

Thing is he can be right t**t after a session as when we got back to our room and hit the sack the panza division was starting up again'

' for fcuk ray use them drops that you have'

His answer was ' pound a drop '

It seems there was a police helicopter outside and above our hotel all night as it was after a local joy rider ,thing is I could not hear the police iron bird in the sky due to the panza division that was passing thou my room all night.

I remember Winston and someone called Vic didnt know his surname,always on Tracky coaches.

Vic Hunt passed away probably about 10 years ago, not sure whatever happened to Winston though

[Mort]

Back in the 80s we used to run coaches to all away games from the Woolpack. What a Motley crew that was, ....Crackerjack, Grizzly, Dabby are three that spring to mind...Great days

[Draytonian III]

King Farouk was from Harworth ,his name was Mock ,but a lot of the Harworth lads called him " Hot dog " because he used to work on the fair. He owned some slot machines in some arcades mainly around Pontefract. He passed away at least 5 years ago from cancer

[deebee]

I've been going 59 years. Just about to renew for the 60th. You can see me in the South Stand, I'm the one grinding his axe.

[Draytonian III]

Mick from Harworth

[Scooter]

A bloke called Micky. I remember him when I first started going in the pop side (and Marv, and a ginger with glasses). I don't know them but I still see them 25+ years later
I think Micky works in the golf shop York road way

Don't think he goes rovers anymore ,but I could be wrong .

Micky dzora was allways the last 'd' in the Doncaster and area phone book.

Said lad had a soft spot for both blackpool and Chelsea

Recall when he was stood o. Main stand terrace back in mid 1980s and someone whipped his addias tracky bottoms for his Union Jack boxer shorts to be revealed to all the terrace .
It was a better moment during a dull rovers game .

Is it correct to say that Jeff now spends most  his time with his music interest these days ?
