superzak Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 wow i cant believe its that long ago. Derby beat West Ham in the charity shield on Charlies debut.

FindernRam Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 My fiancé and me ended up on a tube with everyone else being hammers fans. Just about got away with it. Perhaps I should not have yelled Come on you Rams as we got off. Usain Bolt would not have been as quick as we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeram Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I took frozen beer cans which defrosted nicely in time for the game. Don't ask what beer, I cannot remember but canned beer in those days was not good. Could have been lager (Skol or Heineken) but on such a hot day they went down well regardless ?

Carl Sagan Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Desperate to go but we were away on holiday in Torquay. My old man was so confident he said we'd go next year instead (and he really meant it). When you're a Derby fan, never take anything for granted!

1of4 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 On holiday in Scotland, for two weeks before the Wembley game. Watched us play Celtic at Parkhead in front of a full house. None of my Scottish relatives would go with me as they were Rangers fans and would only enter Parkhead when Rangers played there. I travelled back to Derby on Thursday, on the overnight train from Glasgow. Met up with my mates on Friday night for a few pints. Then caught the train to London, arriving at some unholy time on Saturday morning. After watching the game, went drinking in London before getting back to my hotel in the early hours of Sunday morning and sleeping in a bed for the first time since the Wednesday night.

Dordogne-Ram Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Came down one of the main stairwells which had those sliding / folding concertina lift- type "gates" at the bottom, which was locked!. Hammers fans throwing glass bottles at them and the Rams fans trying to get out, Forced us back into the stadium at ground level as we ran the gauntlet of the flying glass, thankfully unhurt.

We were on holiday in Torquay area as well but made a day trip to Wembley. Proper Wembley not the modern monstrosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mile End lads had a lot of respect for us after that. Came out after the game and Kev O'Reilly bowled past me and the old man, he was on a mission.

angieram Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yes it was the old Wembley and I remember standing on the terraces in red hot sunshine and Charlie George being introduced to the fans. I also remember sitting down at one point just to get a bit of shade from the fans around me! It was my only visit to the old stadium for a sporting occasion and remains a special memory.

Jimbo Ram Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I was a 9 year old living in Cornwall. It is funny that I can remember that day vividly, watching my brother play cricket whilst checking the score on the radio. I have seen the Rams every time they have been at Wmbley since. Funny how I can remember that but can't remember what I was doing 3 weeks ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The Donington Arms put a bus on and we went on that instead of the usual Wheildon's bus. None of this nonsense about no beer on the bus - we had crates and crates of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
