The World Famous City Ground - Home of the PROPER WORLD‘S OLDEST LEAGUE CLUB

[chaospunx]

It never really caught on at the City Ground, but I do remember a game, I think against Leicester, where one particular Copper had taken it upon himself to help the Stewards enforce sitting down in the A Block - culminating in him deciding to make an example of the biggest looking 'lad' and taking him out the back (I assume to be booted out).
When that Copper returned to his post, he was serenaded with this gem...

You are a Copper,
A lonely Copper,
You're only happy when we're sat down,
You wear a stab vest,
You want an arrest,
But please don't take my best mate away!

Ha ha brilliant

Oh, I forgot to mention....

when Psycho scored that free kick against Coventry in the League Cup semi final...

He lost his helmet during the stampede.

I was in there for that still remember the rain spraying off the crossbar as it glanced off it don't remember the coppers helmet though

Yep that's one... it was a rainy wet Sunday afternoon.

I had a pal that was a Derby fan stood in there with us.

I went with him to see Derby v Wolves ...in return, I took him in Trent end to see Forest v Coventry.

I used to go to alot of Sheffield Wednesday games as my dad's best mate was a Wednesday fan so sometimes when forest were away we would go to Wednesday or he would do the same with forest some of there European nights I went too there kop used to be brilliant in those days but ended up being in there that game we sent them down

He was a mardy little twat, always bragging about the atmosphere at the BBG. That particular season Derby were getting low gates and the famous atmosphere was a bit flat.
So I went with him to the BBG and then in return he went with me to the Forest v Cov game to compare atmospheres.

He lost.

I would go back to those days in our old trent end in a heartbeat some of the best days and times of my life football is just different now I feel sorry for my son that he has to miss what we enjoyed.
Well maybe not the violence but I don't ever remember being that scaring me even when young was just how it was

You know what inhave no recollection of the year that would of been my only recollection is of the guy putting the wrong score on there daft scoreboard that they slotted the scores in and they thought they had stayed up they had to apologise over the tannoy f***ing hilarious

 

[forzagaribaldi]

There used to be a copper that stood in the middle pen in the old Trent End.

His number was PC1292. He stood there all game and would eject folk out at random.

"Twelve nine two
Calling you
Trent end copper..."

I stood on the Bridgford during my childhood/youth but some of my mates went in TE and I occasionally joined them and remember singing that!

Big Ron was in charge of them for that game. Big Brian was in charge of us!

 

[football post]

Watching most of the game side ways on. Fag burns in your clothes, the fella next to you farting all game and the bloke in front smoking a cigar.
Happy times.

 

[Rockabilly]

Big Ron was in charge of them for that game. Big Brian was in charge of us!

Cheers for that.

Was Big Ron in charge when we relegated Blackburn?

Did we relegate anyone with Big Ron in charge?

I remember league one days a match day steward called “teacher” in A-Block , tried to turf my stepson out for being underage ( he was just shy of 6 foot and about 14 clem ) so I said champion, you look after him to the steward I’ve drove 3 hours to get here and I’ll pick him up after the game where should I meet you ……I told the stepson to stick to him like glue, about 30 seconds later he brought him back …….job done.
