gerrytaggart Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 £2.50 Family standing enclosure. Always got a bit tasty in there haha.
Kitchandro Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 The chants that were popular in the 90s Chants that weren't to the tune of sloop john b (fans over the age of 15 might remember a couple) Wembley being an atmospheric cauldron On a similar note, ticker tape and balloons for big games Times when we didn't do the Poznan Quality season reviews with good commentators and funky music (ok so I miss the 90s in general) Decent kits Our badge 1992-2002 City wearing white socks (ok so technically I only remember us wearing them in one season but I would to see us return to them a la 60s 70s 80s). BBC monopolising England and FA Cup coverage Being excited about an England match When crowds went mental for every goal Bruno Berner
SeattleShane Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 Space 1999 on a Sunday afternoon followed by Star Soccer.
Tielemans63 Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 I miss the original International Superstar Soccer (NES version) where they didn't have the licence to use players names. The English national team had some great players: David Seeman Paul Once David Plott Roy Perlour Tiny Adems Toddy Sharingham David Betty Good times.
Captain... Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 Lee Blunt was my favourite I miss setting ceefax to pop up whenever a goal was scored.
DennisNedry Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 I miss the days when Shearer and Savage weren't on MOTD.
foxile5 Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 I miss the days when the ground wasn't full of women and children who seem to get the impression that the football community is there to bend to their whims.
Guest kristianity77 Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 I miss the voice from the back of the kop at Filbert Street shout "gimme a D!" And then everyone just grabbed hold of anyone or one of the rails awaiting the impending doom!
dayday Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 moment when news of a favourable scoreline from another ground starts to slowly spread round Filbert Street, thanks to the bloke with the radio attached to his ear (West Brom v Bristol Rovers, the year Tony James' goal kept us out of Div 3) The West Brom fans thought they were safe because the guy over the tannoy had said we had drew,apparently he got sacked for that.
volpeazzurro Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 Italian football on Sundays on channel 4. The theme tune went something like, 'goal Lazioooo Absolutely, me too! Football Italia, thought that was a great programme with Gary Westonholme? I think it sounded like Goooolachio ( 'goal azio' means goal action or something very similar).
6ups 6downs 2 cups Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 I miss being wound up by Bill Anderson
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 The 300 odd fans who for some inexplicable reason used to stand on the seats in the pen 4 area of the old kop. Class! I don't miss that, it killed my calf muscles balancing on those seats! ;-)
dave_the_fox Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 The caricatures i think the fox used to do and babbby imm readdyy to goooo before a match at filbo.
Vlad the Fox Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 moment when news of a favourable scoreline from another ground starts to slowly spread round Filbert Street, thanks to the bloke with the radio attached to his ear (West Brom v Bristol Rovers, the year Tony James' goal kept us out of Div 3) While the rest of the ground was celebrating bristols goal the bloke near us with the radio had said it'd been disallowed, until about 3 minutes later when he shouted 'no it wasn't' and we could then join in the celebrations. Later in the game someone got it wrong again when west brom equalised and all the Kop thought it was bristol and we started singing 2-0.
Vlad the Fox Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 The bloke who used to stand in the family enclosure at filbert street and shout 'wakey wakey'.
6ups 6downs 2 cups Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 I also miss the days when England could bat!
Illusion35 Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 When Walkers used to go round Filbert Street giving away crisps by throwing them into the crowd, sometimes really obscure new flavours that never made it into the shops! Queuing up to buy sweets in the little corner shop near Filbert Street. Standing in the Kop from the age of 10, loving the noise, the surges, the fan mentality, everything. Unforgettable.
Bayfox Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 I don't miss that, it killed my calf muscles balancing on those seats! ;-)sometimes 4 to a seat!!!Was more my shins that took a battering when we scored. Tended to end up rows further down normally on the floor with my shins taking a battering on the back of a seat on the way down. Mental. But I loved it. I also miss. Sitting on the white wall at the front of the old members stand. when scoreflash and radios were the only communication with the wider footballing world. ****ing internet and 4g phones!!! Ticker tape. Decent scarfs (before half and half and shit with mottos on) Oh and the 3 legged running fox. That was a badge.
Sparky Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 I miss Sumo the singer. In fact I miss Filbo St immensely, so glad I got 13/14 years of the place before it died

The white wall was where I sat too as a 7 old, sometimes the stewards would let you have your legs pitch side but mainly you had to have them dangling back on the terrace !!
Illusion35 Posted 28 December 2013 Posted 28 December 2013 All of the above except the dig at women and children - I'm female and used to stand in the Kop as did lots of women. Don't recall us affecting the atmosphere, we are as passionate as you! Don't think its anything to do with being male or female. Although I will agree that the behaviour of many families at football these days is annoying! My children don't go to the toilet during the match, or take electronics (what's the point in going if you do this?!) or leave their seat at any point during the game. Instead I take him in K block, I talk to him about the game, teach him the songs and when he's tall enough to stand and see we will. Don't tar all families with the same brush!
