Gone but not forgotten

[Chico Hamilton III]

Singing each and every players song when the players were warning up pre match and the players individually applauding The Holte when their song was sung. A real connection right there.

nice one mate ,,, remember it well ,,,,,,shame that sort of thing has gone

Agreed - I miss that too. I wonder when it stopped exactly?

What about applauding the opposition goalkeeper as he walked towards the Holte, only for him to be booed mercilessly if he returned the applause.

I noticed at the Watford game that Gomes their goalie was roundly boo'd as soon as he moved over the half-way line to head for his goal.

The pylons in the old Trinity Road stand - I've known many a player to be "played onside" by one of them.

Probably at about the time when it was deemed necessary to play extremely loud music over the tannoy right up to kick-off. This is one that could go straight into the "Annoying" thread.

When it was nice and simple you turned up and paid in - home and away.

I cant even now get a ticket for fliggin Norwich away.

Yes and you knew it would either be Saturday 3pm or Wednesday at 7.30pm and that was it - and as you say - if you decided on the Friday night you fancied going to Ipswich - you could just get up early and go !

Happy days - I remember going to Ipswich on the football special from New Street for that FA Game in 1975 - when we lost after being 2-0 up (in the days when Ipswich were a first division, top 6 team).

Once I passed my driving test in 1976 - I tended to make my own way to away games which really did mean you could decide any time up to the night before.

I even remember for some reason we played a game on a Tuesday around 1987 - may even have been a Simod Cup game - and this very elderly chap who we used to stand near for many years said "this is a bit much - playing on a TUESDAY night - I normally take the wife to bingo on Tuesdays !!!"

Didn't we always play Wednesday mid-week and the rags played Tuesday ?

Most definitely. As a kid Tuesday was always a so what day for me but Wednesday was a potential night for memories
