Albert and the Lion

 

There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool,

That's noted for fresh air and fun,

And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom

Went there with young Albert, their son.

A grand little lad was young Albert,

All dressed in his best; quite a swell

With a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle,

The finest that Woolworth's could sell.

They didn't think much of the Ocean:

The waves, they were fiddlin' and small,

There was no wrecks and nobody drownded,

Fact, nothing to laugh at at all.

So, seeking for further amusement,

They paid and went into the Zoo,

Where they'd Lions and Tigers and Camels,

And old ale and sandwiches too.

There were one great big Lion called Wallace;

His nose were all covered with scars -

He lay in a somnolent posture,

With the side of his face on the bars.

Now Albert had heard about Lions,

How they was ferocious and wild -

To see Wallace lying so peaceful,

Well, it didn't seem right to the child.

So straightway the brave little feller,

Not showing a morsel of fear,

Took his stick with its 'orse's 'ead 'andle

And pushed it in Wallace's ear.

You could see that the Lion didn't like it,

For giving a kind of a roll,

He pulled Albert inside the cage with 'im,

And swallowed the little lad 'ole.

Then Pa, who had seen the occurrence,

And didn't know what to do next,

Said 'Mother! Yon Lion's 'et Albert',

And Mother said 'Well, I am vexed!'

Then Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom -

Quite rightly, when all's said and done -

Complained to the Animal Keeper,

That the Lion had eaten their son.

The keeper was quite nice about it;

He said 'What a nasty mishap.

Are you sure that it's your boy he's eaten?'

Pa said "Am I sure? There's his cap!'

The manager had to be sent for.

He came and he said 'What's to do?'

Pa said 'Yon Lion's 'et Albert,

'And 'im in his Sunday clothes, too.'

Then Mother said, 'Right's right, young feller;

I think it's a shame and a sin,

For a lion to go and eat Albert,

And after we've paid to come in.'

The manager wanted no trouble,

He took out his purse right away,

Saying 'How much to settle the matter?'

And Pa said "What do you usually pay?'

But Mother had turned a bit awkward

When she thought where her Albert had gone.

She said 'No! someone's got to be summonsed' -

So that was decided upon.

Then off they went to the P'lice Station,

In front of the Magistrate chap;

They told 'im what happened to Albert,

And proved it by showing his cap.

The Magistrate gave his opinion

That no one was really to blame

And he said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms

Would have further sons to their name.

At that Mother got proper blazing,

'And thank you, sir, kindly,' said she.

'What waste all our lives raising children

To feed ruddy Lions? Not me!'

Pam Ayres will be posting next!

As long as she's not playing Saturday!

[therams69]

Some quality tunes going on here! 

 

Lets hope that after Saturday this thread is not added to but unfortunately I honestly feel it will be!

[Gritstone Ram]

I think the best advice is to behave don't get slaughtered and if you feel unfairly treated take the matter up with god knows who??

If they keep getting complaints they have to do something surely!!

Good luck to all that are going. I'm not unfortunatly no ticket, so I think Matlock Town will get my money this weekend, rather than line some knob from Blackpools pocket.

Nicks interview with Bloomers on in a min on RD talking about it

[ladyram]

Overzealous stewarding by an overzealous jobsworth who's doing nothing for Bpool's rep. Their actions have shown that. So be wary if you're going.

If people are drunk, fair enough but this wasn't the case and no police were at any point involved. Surprising when you think that the stewards were dealing with 17 'drunk' fans wouldn't you say?

[Hucknall Ram]

As Baldrick said, sir, I have a cunning plan. They have banned Nick. How about we ban every Blackpool player from Pride Park, therefore they won't be able to fulfil a fixture, therefore we win 5-0, therefore they will get a big fine, then a points deduction, then they will get relegated, then they will go into Administration (due to the big fine and playing in league one) get a 10 point deduction, go into league two, then BANG! No more Blackpool, all because they banned Nick.

[notts_ram]

I heard the snippets of an interview on Radio Derby this morning, I think it was the protagonist being interviewed, I did hear that he had apparently contacted the CEO of Derby to contact his equivalent at Blackpool to listen to sense regards overturning the ban and was given short shrift - the quote was "if they won't listen to the CEO of Derby then who will they listen to" - personnally this intrigued myself as I failed to realise that our CEO was such a mover and shaker and had powers of influence equivalent to Obama or the President of the United Nations- personally if I had been the CEO of Blackpool I would have told him to go and mind his own business - perhaps maybe he did on reflection.

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

The point being that the CEO of Derby is a solicitor, a person of repute and someone who personally felt able to provide a character reference  for Nick. The fact he was prepared to do that should at least have put a doubt in the mind of the Blackpool guy that his own staff were perhaps over zealous. I don't understand why a DCFC fan who has been voted Championship fan of the year would not be Sam Rush's business?

[Boycie]

Maybe he's still banning Nick for only one reason, and one reason only?

Because he can.

[Boycie]

It's a bit like this forum, no amount of phone calls, emails and solicitors letters will get you un banned, if your banned, and we want you to stay banned, that's it.

It's their party, and they'll cry if they want to.

I was wondering if there was a bit more to this and it didn't take me long to find the adjudication report on the IFO website.

 

http://www.theifo.co.uk/adjudications/blackpool%202.pdf

 

Jesus christ - what a joke! Nick really did do nothing wrong. I guess it just came down to one steward's unscientific perception of how drunk someone was. The really infuriating thing is quite how toothless the IFO is. I read a few more of the adjudication reports and couldn't find one that actually upheld the complaint. Basically just 1) Fan complains 2) IFO investigates 3) Club closes ranks 4) Complaint rejected

 

What seems really unfair is that Blackpool have banned you both JUST because you formally complained. That actually seems more of a "crime" than the match incident. Presumably this is just a local banning order by Blackpool not a proper legal Football Banning order?

 

In which case can you not raise a further complaint with the IFO - making a complaint should surely not be grounds for a stadium ban. The IFO must realise that such behaviour would deter an awful lot of people from seeking justice?

[Gritstone Ram]

Well he's getting some air time on RD. I was telling a forest fan at work today about it. He told me he was bladdered when he went there.

It's just someone who is on a power trip on match days. Jumped up tw@t.
