Sad news about Bernie, I went school with Bernie and Sludge ,his stag do was legendary flamingo club early 80's.He used to round us up to go on the Tote end coach , I remember the Southampton away when the brick came flying through the window.We had a chat and a laugh about it at Kidderminster. RIP Bern see you in the Tote end star Bar

I was there for that game went on a coach full of nutters crazy times we were dropped of on the embankment few drinks then overland train to the valley seem to remember millwall boys in charlton end around half time then back to west end / soho for a night out unfortunately Chelsea had played Cardiff that day and it was bedlam when we finally got picked up around 12 we were quite a few down but remember giving a Cardiff boy a lift back come the end of the journey think he wished he'd got the train quite a few on that trip no longer with us tote end boys day out = crazy times ☠️☠️ I was at that game too,I cant remember how I got there but came back on the same coach as you. We all got split up on the night and as we left the pub to walk back to the coach two gangs of Vietnamese were fighting,well the ones with meat cleavers were fighting the others were bleeding,shreiking or running,your mate Egger was there. I remember that Cardiff lad too,you would have thought he would of said thanks for the lift,sat at the front and shut it,what a berk. I heard some sad news yesterday about another old Tote ender and proper Rovers supporter who has passed on,Bernie,was a sound bloke. Was that the Charlton game when Aggie came out with the immortal line 'Shut up Lightbulb head' at Charlton station? Was a memorable day indeed boys, despite the result. I think Maff S whacked the Cardiff lad on the coach and someone gave him a bit of a bollocking? Also remember Aggie going in to a pub on his knees in Soho and singing 'Hi, Ho!' expecting all the rest of us to follow him singing 'Hi, Ho, Hi, Ho it's off to work we go.' But of course, in time honoured tradition we didn't... RIP to Bernie - was definitely one of the good guys, let that be a lesson to all of us of a certain age. Keep an eye out for each fellas, you never know when that Black Dog is going to bite.

Fair few on that coach now passed but thinking back most of us have gone on to have good lives / families etc not to shabby really for a bunch of council estate hooligans as for Aggie well you've managed plenty of pages in your books Chris on him Now his 60 th trip should be interesting hope to see you there Chris

1990, 2 all draw at Selhurst Park, only part I remember is Devon White collecting the ball and waltzing thru their defence to slot the ball in. Scored at our end. Remember it well. Was just saying what a dreadful game Devon was having when he scored an absolutely stunning goal right in front of us.
