Does anyone still take a Bog Roll down the Villa to throw when we score? ....
-
We should all do it. Plenty of shit on the pitch to wipe up.
-
You're probably not allowed to take them into the ground these days, probably classed as an offensive weapon.

It would be if it was used.
-
In my youth I was guilty of throwing bog rolls from the back of the Holte End in the early 80's.
-
I bet there aren't many left who could get the whole bog roll to unravel. Out of a train window was easy; one finger in each side and away it goes. From one end of The Special to the other.
-
And while we're at it, is it time for the fake silk scarves to make a return? You know the ones we used to tie round our wrists.
And what about wooden rattles painted Claret & Blue.

I've still got a few of those somewhere and a yellow and blue away scarf.

Let's bring the good old days back to Villa Park...
-
Next time we win at home I wont throw a bog roll but I will throw a street party. 8)
-
They'd only s-wipe it off you at the turnstile.

A bit of 60s and 70s music booming out before the match might help. You could close your eyes and imagine the aroma of Ansells Brewery. Heaven.

Izal doubt they would do that.

Nowadays the bog roll dispensers on the Pendelinos make it impossible; you have to do it sheet by sheet.
That's assuming you can find a window to open.

I've still got a '75 cup final silk scarf somewhere that my dad got me.
And some very battered rosettes from the 70s as well.

After a few pints of Ansells Mild that bog roll was worth its weight in gold.

And we could have The Doc hanging the shirts out. At least watching them dry would be a lot more interesting than some of the shite we've had to endure this season.

Did anyone see that programme saturday that match of the day type thing from 1983 I think, it was Villa V Watford and we won 4-1 and all you could see was bog roll flying, took me back to the happy days

Brutus shirts, Oxford bags, crombie and a good ol' swadehead haircut ...

Balloons.
Just like the 70's. Halcyon Days (sigh).

That sad bog roll be taking the jouney back home way too many times.
I can imagine the jokes about the sad fans on the return train clutching their bog roll of hope :'(
-
Queuing all night for big game tickets. And the special buses from Bull St. to the ground.
Andy Lochead with the ball at his feet and defenders bouncing off him like ping pong balls. *Happy Memories Thingy*
-
If I see anybody bringing a bog roll into the Holte i'll be doing the sensible thing and making a citizens arrest, we all saw what the dangers of throwing a toilet roll onto the pitch did to the big black Dida, what such a weapon could do to wee Barry is'nt worth thinking about!
-
Prehaps one for the Brigada thread, The lads could try re-creating the :
Turn a mate upside down, & get him to point his legs in the air,
Thus making a big V shape,
O how we chased the loose change that spilled from the usually p****d up chap,
wonder how the stewards would cope with that today ?
No , actually prehaps one for the banning order thread
-
The arse paper in the Villa Park khazi is vile.
Serious trauma for the cat flaps.
-
When the Brigada did some confetti at Brammall Lane somebody on VT complained about the mess it could create and threatened violence if repeated at Villa Park.

I was told that the bloke who owned it had a nervous breakdown, digital downloading exploded and he didn't know how to handle it.

I still occasionally wear my 1980-81 season white with claret and blue trim and "Aston Villa" in shadowed letters
My lads chequered one looks better unfortunately
-
I've also still got my Villa mirror that must have been from between 1977 and 1980 as it has the last league title as 1910 but does have the '77 LC win on it.
Not taking that down the ground though!

Never been easy having a sheet on a train as there is always someone trying the door. Just can't concentrate.

Air horns. Imagine newer fans jumping out of their skins with one of those going off behind them.

It would be great if the next televised game we see The Holte End full of inflatable bananas, skeletons, hammers etc etc

You know youre getting old when you dont consider inflatables old enough to be retro!!! :-(

My faourite is the Shea Butter Andrex. Been on offer at Sainsbury's lately. Very soothing upon the bum.
Oh, wait...

Swazi Ismay's matchday programme column...
pies from the mid 1980's (brand that had the claret and blue packaging)
stadium open days. i still remember meeting the 1988 promotion squad and got home, in awe of having met the likes of Graham Taylor, Alan McInally, Nigel Spink, Steve Hunt, Martin Keown and...Mark Lillis. Even met Doug Ellis in the trophy room and asked him why he had sacked Graham Turner, just for a laugh.

Anyone remember Antwerp second leg 1975 ?
4-1 down from the 1st leg ,
We ( Cincinnati apprentices) Erdington branch liberated every bog roll from Sutton College,
which were duly launched at Belgian keeper,
didn,t do much good :( :(

The tram back to the station was derailed on the way back. Great trip. Totally pissed.
I was only 19 at the time. Fucking hell!
