manji Posted 17 March, 2011 Share Posted 17 March, 2011 Who was at The Painted Wagon on a famous Saturday evening ? The place was rammed.If my memory serves me correct most of us were preparing for the bus to Bournemouth to visit Upstairs At Erics.Must have been about 8 O'clock when a group of older lads walked in most were wearing blazers and sta-prest/chinos.Within seconds they were chanting "Peeeooortsmuff" to be met with a hail of fists , beer glasses and chairs.Turned out they were the 6.57 Crew on thier way back by train from a West game (Plymouth/Bristol/Cardiff ?) and decided to stop off and pay us a visit.

Many Thanks Spot on post mate. You are right some people are more interested in threads creating crap songs which no one will sing or guessing who our new sponsor, our new kit, the standard of the pies and PA system. I started going to football in the mid eighties as a kid with my brother and old man and remember seeing all the stuff on the telly or the odd occasion it happening at Saints games when i was there so love to hear first hand stories from people back then. Give me a thread reminsising about Pompey away 84, or other away days with interesting and funny accounts from people that were there over a "New Song for Alex Chamberlain" thread every day of the week.

70's Mike Posted 17 March, 2011 Share Posted 17 March, 2011 Life has changed, football in the late 60's, 70's and 80's was about the community of Southampton and its supporters, we all came together, many of us from the large council estates around the city to support our club, yeah we may have kicked lumps out of each other during the week but when Saturday came we were all Saints against the big boys. There were very few all ticket games, no all seater stadiums. if you went to away games you had to stick together or risk physical injury. Football was for the people not TV. Were they better days , probably not but I for one made friends who I still speak to 40 odd years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 17 March, 2011 Share Posted 17 March, 2011 I regularly see "Bootsie" in the Kingsland - a lot of the old faces get in the "Pidgeon Club" in St Denys when Toddy does his NorthernSoul/Reggae gigs.

Were they better days , probably not but I for one made friends who I still speak to 40 odd years later As you say Mike, the fighting was wrong but we needed to group up or be picked out. Safety in numbers was the order of the day. There's quite a few of the 'Old Boys' in the Chapel, some even with their sons but this time round setting a proper example. As to enduring friendships it was much more than that. If you were away and a group of you saw a lone Saint in the mire then you dug in and helped him out. That forged friendships. Even the antagonism between Southampton and Eastleigh was forgotten on a match day. That has all passed now, thank God for that! We have not forgotten our own either. On April 16th there is a Soul Motown night at the Dockies Club for one of the lads who is unable to work through an accident from about 25 years ago. We are raising funds to try and help him make his home far more comfortable. He still gets to the games, sits in the Chapel on his wheelchair. I'll try and have a chat with you if I see you on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMidfieldGeneral Posted 17 March, 2011 Share Posted 17 March, 2011 It was after the England u21 game K. FF got done by 30+ of em. Metal bar to the face and hands. Teeth knocked out and hand and nose broken. The game they came to the Wagon was after Cardiff.. They wore blazers as they said to Cardoff ob they were going to a wedding so they could get into Cardiff without hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 17 March, 2011 Share Posted 17 March, 2011 I loved the thread. There was a fella mentioned called Dougall who wore a sheepskin coat and never moved - he had been seen walking his dog in Fairoak I think. Then there was another guy whose name escapes me (Martin was it); waiting at the top of the stairs by some swinging doors with a chair while a mob of Chelsea fans were poised to charge upstairs. He had a motorbike accident I think. Thats not to glorify the trouble but they were just classic seventies folklore tales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
