There's a thread on here about taking ends in the 60s/70s

 

http://www.theshedend.com/topic/21797-how-many-home-ends-you-been-in/

 

In this thread it's stated that.....

 

Wolves (North Bank) - 'We're the boys in royal blue, we took Molineux' used to echo around the Bridge in the early 70's, as we nearly always took a mob into their end and took it. The exception was the 76/77 game which we were banned from, but we took a huge mob up there anyway and the police had to put us in the South Bank to keep us off the streets. Big ruck at HT in the bar, then another on the pitch afterwards (thanks to the police for that one, both sets of fans were celebrating promotion together before the old bill stepped in for no good reason).

 

Well, as a self confessed Wolves fanatic and quite partial to a bit of Argy-Bargy in my younger years I think it's time we put the record straight.

The one and only time Chelsea ever came into the North Bank was a particularly cowardly event in the 77/78 season. From 74 onwards the Wolves mob where in the South Bank and this particular night, we were situated right next to each other.

So what did the brave lads of Chelsea do 15 before the end.

They left the South Bank to confront......the old men, kids and women of the North Bank!

It wasn't even a "taking", you just caused mayhem and confusion and many people were crushed that night, kids & women!

In all my years I have seen great mobs and Chelsea were a decent mob, but that night they crossed the line and decended into a pathetic bunch of cowards!

Most older Wolves guys think it was the most cowardly act they ever saw.

 

You probably don't rate Wolves these days, but I can tell you the South Bank was quite well respected, ask Leeds about their boxing day massacre of Boxing day 77.

 

So No, you didn't take the North Bank every year, but yes, you were cowardly once when it was full of old men and women & kids.

So stop the lying. No-one took the Wolves North Bank from what I remember, although as I say, after 74, it would have been liking taking candy from a baby.

No one took the South Bank either after Wolves relocated there in 74. In 78 the fence went up and we were segregated, but the 4 years in between gave you lot ample opportunity to take it, but you never did. No-one did.

 

I have also had this problem with West Ham saying they took the North Bank and again, it's a lie.

 

I just don't see the point of bigging yourselves up with lies, so someone pass this onto the Shed history forum, as it's restricted to me.

 

 

 

Ar$ehole.

You would think that 40 years on, this guy might have realised that what he was doing was pretty f**king stupid.

Great quote.

It wasn't me who started talking about the old days, it was your guy who started the thread.

You didn't seem to mind him posting a load of lies!

 

At least me posting as wound you lot up.

It's a pleasure to put you right at last.

38 years your pathetic attack as annoyed me for and it's a pleasure to finally get the story out.

 

Hey, think I will sign up to other forums and let them all know the truth of the cowardly Chelsea boys:

 

Especially as your other forum discusses ALL the times the SHED was taken, 

West Ham ok, but Arsenal?

Seriously?

I just don't see the point of bigging yourselves up with lies, so someone pass this onto the Shed history forum, as it's restricted to me.

 

 

 

First off, as so many others have said, no-one gives a toss. No-one except you.

 

Secondly, "We're the boys in royal blue, we took Molineux" is a song. Why "Molineux"? Becauue it rhymes with royal blue, just as "friend" rhymes with "end" in another song that used to reverberate around Stamford Bridge back in the day. 

 

Those were the days my friend, we took the Stretford End

We took the Kop, we took the f**king liot

We'd fight and never lose, then we'd sing up the blues

Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.

 

Did we really take the Stretford End? Or the Kop. I don't know and I don't care. Such chants can be safely filed under mythology. Every club has their own version, every other club at some time has sung: "And we will fight for ever more, because of Boxing Day". Mythology again, which may or may not have a grain of truth. Nobody cares. 

 

I've been to Molineux a few times, and while I have no memory of the "cowardly" incident you describe, my abiding memory is the infamous 7-1, which I'm sure you remember. How can you not? It's a scoreline that puts every other trip to Molineux in the shade. 

 

As for the question of taking ends, we were in God only knows how many ends, all over the midlands and the north, not to mention the likes of Bristol, Cardiff (where we took a right hiding one year) whether we were in whatever happened to be your end of choice on any given day I couldn't tell you. Once in the home end, on comparatively rare occasions it would actually go off, Cardiff and Millwall being a couple of prime examples - and we were the first mob to ever attempt to take the CBL. that much is fact, but most of the time it would be a matter of a small mob getting in early, standing quietly together, picking the moment to announce themselves, at which point the home fans would usually scatter. Whether it went off, how long we stayed in their end, depended among other things on how efficient the old bill were. Occasionally people got hurt, but most of the time the shock value was enough for the home fans to keep their distance. Sometimes we'd be in the end for the entire game, surrounded by old bill, other times we'd get either turfed out or escorted to our own end. Very rarely would there be the running battles or the batterings beloved of mythology.

 

The above is of course a hugely simplified potted history of how it was back in the '70s and '80s. Those days are long gone, and thank f**k for that, most people would say. To carry a grudge for forty years is quite frankly obsessional to the point of insanity - and that goes for whether or not your description of events is in any way accurate.

 

Try as I might I don't see the point of you being here. What you're trying to prove, why you're so obsessed. My advice, for what it's worth, would be to walk away quietly, disappearing into your very own old gold sunset.

Fella Arsenal were a proper firm in the late 60s early 70s, if you was involved in the scene you'd know that.

 

Taking your end was before my time, but i do know for a fact Wolves have never done anything of note at Chelsea, like most mids clubs you were good at home but never travelled to Chelsea, only Forest came with intent to ours in the 70s, all the big hitters like Wolves Bham Villa, Derby, Leicester have done nothing at the Bridge unlike us who took it to all those clubs in the 70s & 80s.

 

Was you at Arsenal v Wolves in the mid 70s when 100s of Chelsea turned up after our game v Burnley was pp, Chelsea smashed both Arsenal & Wolves that day.

Still waiting for oldschool to tell us why he and his band of merry brave men did absolutely nothing but watch a bunch of nasty Chelsea thugs beat up the most innocent and vulnerable Wolves fans?

Oh i'm so sorry that i don't care about a thread someone made over 3 years ago.

 

Get over it you big baby.

 

Why do you even care ? surely this can't be impacting your life that much. There are lies all over the internet, do you sign up to those websites just to point them out too ?

Fancy being this upset about something that happened that long ago, so upset you have to join an opposition teams forum to post about like a whiney little bitch. Let it go, it doesn't matter.

This has got to be a wind up.Grow old gracefully mate ffs.

He must be one of the actors on that BBC 3 mockumentary football fight club. Must be doing some research or trying to get some material for the new series.

If the Wolverhampton fans got a slap in the 70's it was an act of revenge for inflicting Slade on humanity.

 

Man up & just take it on the chin!.

How long ago was this? It bears no relevance to today's fans whatsoever, thank God there aren't as many hooligans like yourself anymore, it sounds as though you never grew up.

I suppose it's worth a reply ...

During those years and the 80s, Chelsea (on occasions) took huge mobs & numbers to all the Midland Clubs, inc. Wolves. Hence, the chaos that ensued because we turned up. During those years and the 80s, NONE of the Midland Clubs reciprocated our turnouts back at the Bridge. Not one (and especially Wolves). Piss poor away turnouts from the Midland Clubs were generally the norm ... I wonder why? There's nothing more to add, tbh.

Ps. u are right about West Ham tho' ... bossed London but rarely had the impact Countrywide that we or even Spurs had IMHO ...

Ha ha what a response. Here's a joke for you to be said in that wonderful Black Country accent of yours.

 

'' What's the difference between a Buffalo and a Bison ? ''.

 

'' You can wash your hands in a Bison''.

 

 

agree with the lack of midland club fans attending the bridge in the 70/80/.......apart from Leicester who took a few hundred the rest were piss poor....

was that the game which was frozen off ....power workers strike no floodlit games....came up from Yorkshire on the train only to be greeted by a placard at kings cross ....chelseav burnley postponed.....

I attended loads of Midland Clubs home games, during those times and it was generally a day off 4 everyone ... Birmingham, Wolves, Villa, WBA, Derby, Leicester and the likes just didn't turn up ... You could often head count the actual individuals standing in the away end terrace. It was that embarrassing. Yet, when we travelled up to them it was a whole different ball game ... from morning to night, often total chaos (packed away end terraces, etc.). From memory, Forest brought a few down during the Cloughie years but our return excursions up there were awesome (beyond comparison) :0)
