Stamford Bridge Thread

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

I was 15 years old and was at the infamous game when Paul Canovile come on as a sub against Palace. It was without doubt the most shocking thing i'd seen at the time on or off a football pitch. It really was horrible and there's no getting away from it. Canners also got stick at our last away game against Blackburn not as bad apparently i wasn't there but still no excuse for that sort of behaviour. But as far as i'm concerned that was the end of it as i remember. We played Cambridge away on the first day of the following season i was there i don't think Canoville played but there wasn't any racist chanting aimed towards him. That 82-83 season was the worse possibly in our history and i went to most home games and a few away games and i'm sorry i don't recall Paul Canoville getting racially abused. He played about half a season in 82-83 and was much needed as we were dire in those days. He never got racially abused at Stamford Bridge i'm pretty sure of that it's 33 years ago and i might be wrong but i don't recall it. As for throwing bananas that's just utter bollocks i never saw it happen and besides if you were in The Shed in those days you'd have to be an Olympic javelin thrower to get anything on the pitch.

There was a lot of racism at Chelsea but it died out as quickly as it came in yes there were twats selling Bulldog (i think it was called) but racism was never endemic at Chelsea. Although there's no getting away from it there were far right supporters amongst our firm and it would be naive to say there wasn't. As for Paul Canoville i've nothing but respect for the man and i can recommend his book he's really had an interesting life to say the least. And cheers for Sheffield 85 Paul a great night.

It's happening. 17/18 season. Not sure where we're moving yet. There'll be a Bridge over the cemetery.

Great... so we will have to move for one season (17/18) to other stadium, right?

and what is the story about the cemetery?

Probably be more than one season but I don't know in depth details.

The bridge will go to the station to avoid congestion on Fulham Road
