As a young teenager, I bought a steak and kidney pie at half time. Back at my spot ready for the second half, I bit into it and the contents were hotter than the sun, obviously, but then we scored within, I don't know one or two minutes of the restart. Limbs ensued and my super hot pie got smacked upwards out of my hand, went circling through the air and landed square on the back of an old fella wearing a sheepskin coat, dripping hot gravy and offal all down his back.

I spent ages waiting in line for a Bovril in the paddock and rested it on the rail as lava hot. During the pre game kick about Cliff Carr sent a wayward ball into the paddock...yep...Bovril everywhere . He couldn't.make that ball again if he tried..bang on the money.. could see it almost in slow motion heading towards my drink . |

Anyone use to roll a programme up rather than lose your place on the boothen when it was full.

If a guy was wearing a Sheepskin coat in the old days, he was probably a commentator! |

I was in the Boothen end pre match and the players were warming up and Biggins was testing out the keeper and he hit a shot right at me I had a cup of coffee at the time and instinctively ducked, the ball smacked in the side of this blokes head and sent his glasses flying through the air, not sure if they broke but he got rate twatted with ball.

I once tried lighting a ciggie while on the concourse at half time. It was just after they'd banned smoking in the stadium.
Some kid nudged my arm, "Hey mister, no smoking here".
Oh how I laughed, muttering, "Bollox", as I returned my Benson and Hedges king-size, to it's packet from where I'd retrieved it.
Everybody clapped and cheered, and a good day was had by all.
Fucked if I can remember who we were playing.

I think was my second or third game
A 4-0 win v Sheff U. The Stoke end was just a small open terrace seem to remember, the new stand wasn't built yet.
Howard Kendall hit and exocet of a shot that caught a fella clean in the face. The usual sympathetuc huge cheer as the bloke crumpled in a heap.
Used to stand right behind the away dugout , was glass. One fella really ragged up a subbed Peter Withe who lost his rag to the hammering on it and released a load of verbal at the fan. The next week someone had crudely painted over the glass
Bournemouth sub Trevor Aylott was warming up.and started squaring up to a fan in the paddock ..got seriously heated and Aylott doing the offering him on ,arm thing . The ball went out of play and Lee Sandford saw what was going on as he went to grab it, he just shoved Aylott onto his arse . A copper took the lad away and another started having a heated row with Aylott. Think may have been the brilliant Beagrie goal game

Wouldn’t happen today - we don’t score goals any more. |

I spilled a coffee all over the person in front when Begovic scored that goal against Southampton. I was a bit late to my seat and as soon as I got there, the goal went in and everyone went mental. Someone knocked my elbow and my drink went flying forward. Fortunately he saw the funny side and I think the goal helped  . I also broke a seat in anger away at Bradford in 2002 when we lost a crucial relegation six pointer around Christmas time in the early Pulis days when things weren't going well at all. Only 18 but still a dickhead thing to do. |

When you could vote for the home shirt, I took about 50 voting cards from the shop and got two gals at work to fill them in one afternoon , voting for the Ajax style one. It still didn't win

I heard a story from someone who worked at Villa Park in hospitality that he nutted someone there in the tunnel who did similar after a game v Birmingham . He had been accused of stealing a Rolex or similar from the dressing room after being sent off and someone called him a thieving something or other. You were lucky 😁 |

I purchased away tickets as a 'student' (When available) despite not being a student for approximately up to 10 years after my degree.
Never once got asked for ID. Always took my expired student card to the turnstile just in case.

When Toddy Orlyggson scored a last minute winner against Sunderland in the ensuing mental in the Boothen End I full on elbowed some young lad in the face. Before I had chance to seek him out and apologise I could just see him walking off in the distance towards the toilets with his broken nose (hopefully it wasn't) pissing with blood.....

As a young lad I threw a bottle top which hit Grimsby's John Oster, being stretchered off, only a kiddie himself at the time, plumb on the head.
Also took great joy in telling Swindon town left back Paul Bodin he was wank and that he'd have gone to the world cup with wales had he not missed his penalty. "Prick" was the response to the spotty young me as i passed him the back from the paddock to allow him to take a throw.

We had the same the same accountants as Everton at the time and he very disliked off the pitch. |

Always took my expired student card to the turnstile just in case. Yeah used to do that for away games too. I had a student card with no expiry date on (it came as a 2 part, one plastic photo card with no date which acted as your ID card and room access swipe card etc. And a second laminated part which was refreshed every year which had the course details and expiry date on). So when outside of Birmingham, where the local places knew about the two part student card and would insist on seeing the laminated card part, I got away with using the plastic part for a good decade or so afterwards . Until the 2010s when it became about NUS official cards, apps and registering with .ac.uk email addresses to get access to the student discount apps then the gravy train finally ended. |

As a misguided youth following the rest of the Boothen in the chant of "Get your mammaries out for the lads...." (slightly changed now as not to upset folk!) which was usually aimed at the St John Ambulance ladies (of variety of ages/size) who were on duty that day
Oh the shame!

I was in the Boothen when Wayne Biggins was kicking in with the 'keeper. He unleashed a shot that flew past the post. The ball was heading towards the guy in front of me. The bastard, holding a coffee, decided to duck. The ball smashed me in the side of the head, my glass flew off and fell to the ground, beyond repair.

Does anyone remember about 15 years ago
Half time entertainment calling themselves Disco Inferno?
Was a bloke and a gal dressed in those daft afro wigs and glasses fancy dress ,miming to songs like the Grease megamix
They got dogs abuse and chants of... time to go
Fair play they stuck it out.
Really felt sorry for them but what possessed them to actually do it in the first place?

I remember the Golden Goal Girl and the short lived 'City Slickers' cheerleaders that we had in the last couple of years at the Victoria Ground used to get that treatment too. One of my favourite memories of that song though wasn't aimed at a female at all. Away at Brentford in 2000 there was a fat bastard referee who got that song sung to him as he jogged onto the pitch with his man boobs bouncing all over the place . Think it was the first away game of the new millennium, Peter Thorne got the winner. Good times. |
