Serious question for people they went to the Vetch on 11:49 - Sep 17 by TheResurrection | I think it's easy to forget what times were like then compared to now. Now if you hear anything racist it's magnified and a criminal act. Back then it was just another way to get to a player. Mostly away players but sometimes our own. It happened alright because society was different back then. Darren is just a hopeless poster lost up his own useless backside. |
Weird we all have the same memories. Although if someone in the Center Stand said it didn't happen then maybe we all imagined it. | |

Jon Coates had pelters quite regularly too, I'd say as frequent, if not more so than Price. Obviously the racial slurs wouldn't have applied, but the dogs abuse was certainly high. | |

I haven't said it didn't happen,of course it happened but not to the extent that's being made out. Anyway youre just cobbing because I wouldn't give you the information you were PMing me about last night. | |

Serious question for people they went to the Vetch on 11:19 - Sep 17 by max936 | Pricey was a bit of an enigma when he played for us and he did cop for some abuse, exactly what was said I can't remember, he had a couple of periods when he was very good, but a lot of games when he was lets say off the pace with a bit of a couldn't careless attitude. |
He had a lot to prove merely because of his home town being Cardiff dominated at the time, times have changed a tad now though. | |

Serious question for people they went to the Vetch on 12:01 - Sep 17 with 1009 views | EasternJack | Interesting. I was a regular on the NB during that period and I can't recall that abuse consistently levied at him. Some frustration, yes - and the headless chicken remark rings a bell. More of a sprinter than a footballer. But he did win us a lot of penalties. | |

Thanks Butt. Still doesn't mean it didn't occasionally happen though it's just that some people like to exaggerate. | |

Serious question for people they went to the Vetch on 12:02 - Sep 17 with 996 views | swanjackal | Are people conflating individuals shouting it with chants done by many. I'd imagine there were certain individuals shouting racist abuse, as most crowds have those idiots, but as collective chants or targeted group abuse, as someone who was on the North Bank (North west side), and towards the end of his spell, a significant proportion of away games, I can't say that was the case in my experience. | |

There was never any chants. That would signify a coordinated and pre meditated attack (which is why people in the Center Stand wouldnt know). The abuse he received, regularly, was spontaneous singling out from many quarters of the North Bank. The majority being the right hand corner of course. Granted this was an era where monkey noises and shouts of "zulu!" would be made when opposing black players got the ball (also game by game basis) - although that doesnt excuse it. Nicer to forget, but reality doesnt often like to be forgotton. | |
