I remember being in the West End when it was split between home & away in the late 70s when we played Newcastle and a meat pie came flying over from their side and hit someone near me with the words "you can have that shite back". My friends dad, a Geordie, bought season tickets in the main...

You'll have to be content with a lemon tart, that is if tart doesn't offend some women?!

What a shambles from the FA. And then they did this... FA covers up 'Super White Army' banner They really do like tying themselves in knots

My first Man Utd home game was the 1-1 in February 1976 and I went with my brother and his friend who were both Man Utd fans but one of us were wearing any scarves and we stood to the left side of the West End. There were Man Utd fans everywhere but I am sure the West End wasn't split like it...

During the late 70s you had to collect vouchers from previous games to get in to the Man Utd game and there were plenty of extra "home" fans in the West End for these games and of course the Man Utd game. I worked with a Man Utd season ticket holder in the late 80's and they always seem to have...

I grew up in Rugby and when I started watching us in the mid to late 70's there were always loads of Liverpool & Leeds fans as well as quite a few CCFC fans. My brother was a Man Utd fan and went to watch them regularly with the Rugby Reds and I didn't know how many there were until they all...

1 of my first away games. Kenny Hibbett scored for them in the first couple of minutes and Mick Ferguson got a hat-trick

I was hooked long before I went but my dad, although he liked to see that we had won, was not a fan and was never going to take me. I used to religiously watch Grandstand to get the final scores coming through from the early 70s and when we had midweek games I used to get up early so that I...

I'm not having a dig at him, we played some great football under Milne, I was just pointing out that he spent big money on 2 players we managed to get about a dozen appearances out of in total. He used to piss off a Leicester supporting friend because I am sure he swapped Tommy English for Jim...

Didn't he also buy Garry Collier & David Jones? They were both resounding failures

I am already onto my second career having spent 20 years in IT and have been in catering since 2002 and have worked in restaurant, pubs, owned a guest house and now work in a cafe but I would love to own a kennels. We actually put forward a proposal to a local estate to build a kennels on their...

They'll probably be waiting at Nuneaton for him and his gang. It would be a shame if they had alcohol on the coach and were sent all the way back home without getting to the game

I think wearing just denim was ok, it was the one's wearing a leather bike jacket with the tassles on the arms with a denim waistcoat on top with all the patches who had either come on the train or had been dropped off by their mum. I would have thought wearing a denim waistcoat would have been...

I'm not sure this counts as he had been around since the mid 70s but I went to Monsters Of Rock at Donington in the late 80s with Whitesnake headlining and Dio were on 2nd in the line up of 7 acts and were by far the best band. I'm not sure if it was their first gig in the UK but within months...

Stirling is about 16 miles away. In the SPL probably St Johnstone although Rangers, Celtic, Hamilton & Motherwell are within 40-50 miles. I have friends whose son is a STH at Motherwell. It's strange that I haven't been tempted as when I lived in Brussels I went with a friend to watch RWDM, who...

A stag do in Motherwell? I have lived up here over 14 years and have never been tempted to go to watch any of the teams although I may go and watch Stirling Albion this week with @BackRoomRummermill. I'm not sure whether I'll be enjoying the game I am at or worrying about how we are doing and...

I went to Dunfermline for a pre-season friendly when toss-pot Coleman was in charge and we were really shit. It seemed to be a well run club with a great emphasis on attracting younger fans, if we lived close I would have got my son involved. They seem to have fallen on bad times recently and...

Will do, I work alternate weekends and was in today. Next time they are home on a saturday I'll come and watch them (as long as it's not Oct 14th as I'm away then!)

I went to watch Stirling v Cowdenbeath a few years back and was shocked at the bad language (I was in with the Fifers though!!) but maybe now he's older. I've got a friend I used to go to HR with who lives in Falkirk so I am planning on a game there too

Will do thanks. I am planning to go with my 12 year old son who I have managed to get to support CCFC, he is now on his 4th City strip & it looks great amongst all the Man U, Chelsea,Barcelona & Real Madrid kits the other kids wear!! I work in a cafe on LOch Lubnaig, it really is stunning...
