106 Grounds so farYes the nutter in the paddock was hillerious.
The relagation party on the Tilton after the game v Arsenal ( I think) in 78 or 79.
Hundreds of us still doing the dying fly at 5.30 & other crazy things.
We were mentioned in most of the Sunday papers how mad we were.
Not at St A’s but a preseason friendly at Wigan, Seaman was in goal and probably his first game if I recall. About 1500 blues fans doing the Dying Fly behind the goal. Local blokes in cloth caps and the like looking on in total bewilderment.
Man walkded on pitch with can in his hand to confront ref think was swindon at home in the 90s

Damian Johnson getting clattered by Paul Robinson and smashing the corner flag. Took about 10 mins for the groundsman to find a replacement. All the Tilton were chanting flagman, flagman, give us a wave.
1982 , the European champions rocking up against us on boxing day, their fans predicting 6 and 7 goal wins to them, watching them all sneaking out after being humbled by little small heath 3-0, the pubs that night were Villa free, their fans cried for months and hid away
One of my all time great games ... St Andrews was absolutely packed like a sardine tin. I've been there all the way back to the 60s but never felt so crowded on the Kop as that day. Official attendance was 43,864 - but i swear there was at least 55-60,000 squeezed in that day.
Urgh so loads of Blues went just to see the new European Champions.

As a kid I stood in the Kop right opposite “the nutter in the seats”. Truly a spectacle to behold. He’d fly out of his seat into the gangway every time there was a questionable decision by the ref. The more questionable the decision, the more profound was his response. The more controversial the decisions translated into the number of gangway steps he’d fly down. I don’t remember him ever making all the way to the bottom of the steps but he wasn’t far off it sometimes either.
Bluesince42Wannabee Bailey I think the Fulham dust up was the appetiser for main event against Liverpool Gerry Byrne sparked with a left hook and the jumping up giving big Ron Yeates the Glasgow kiss which was hilarious when you consider he was giving about a foot in height.
Mauruice Cook was about a foot taller than Bertie as well.
Years later, Bertie gave an explanation of the Fulham incident.
I stood up after the tackle and Johnny looked as though he was going to hit me so I thought "I'd better get mine in first". Then I saw Maurice heading over and I thought "If he hits me I won't get up for a wekk so I'd better do him as well"
Grown ups crying because some lump of a striker who stole a living for 9 years, scoring only 69 goals was making a speech as he retired.
Got to be the classic Bertie Auld cameo where, when the ref wasn’t l looking, he pulled a small boy out of the crowd to tap a short corner to him.
The bloke pulling the Moonies in the Tilton as Watford took their penalties, I think it was Spike

….and soaking Greg Downs!
Burnley home 09 season.
1) Carlos Costly 'debut' he had no clue what he was doing, fella had toblerone for feet
2) same game which was (absolutely dreadful) most entertaining part was Blues fans in the Kop Upper 40 trying to escape the coppers after having the row blocked off tried to jump over the seats in front and then face planted the seats as he fell forward. Marvelous stuff. 🤣🤣🤣
The Collymore head loss while he was at Fulham was funny 😂
1981 Blues 4 Southampton 0.
Sung to Allan Ball
Hang your balls up
Hang your balls up
Hang your balls up Allan Boot
He flicked a two fingered salute to the Kop. The singing got even louder.
Also around the same time Peter Shilton got caught s@@gging a girl called Tina in the back of his car. As he came to the Tilton the whole end was chanting "Tina, Tina, Tina".
Add to the fact I was 10/11 years old I thought it was ace.
