A little sad today!!

Hot jam donuts feature prominently in my early footy memories. Two HJD memories stick in my mind
(1) marvelling at the chrome dolphin jam injector, whose bottle-nose would squirt the hot red goo deep into the sugary fried ball, on the counter of the donut van at footscray station
(2) my dad backing into a donut van in the carpark at waverley, i think in 1977 after North flogged us in a preliminary? final.

:rofl :rofl What a classic.
 
Those memories sound great. It has changed even since my time and I was only born in 76. Must be sad seeing how it is all corporatised these days and players and a bit robotic and ball movement is robotic. I still prefer watching old games on tv when they are on than the modern day stuff as a football spectacle.
 
A thread for the old sods... ;D

Some of my memories as a 12 y.o. kid was the 'marathon' of walking up to the top level of Northern Stand (just like that marathon in the Rialto they do every year) everytime we played the top 3 in packed games at the G.

and, travelling to Waverley (from the outer northern suburbs) felt like a trip from the North Pole to the South Pole.
 
what about after the climb up to the top and then you could get up on the roof!!! ah memories..i had forgotten about that big climb...we only did it cos we could....the players looked like ants...


i also remember collecting all the newspapers and paper lying around and sitting for ages ripping it all up into little squares..waiting for the goal..and up it would all go into the air....then we would scrape it up off the ground and wait for the next goal.....:):)
 
Ahhh, for what it's worth, I can remember dragging my old man from one end of the 'G' to the other... so in Roachy's thrawl as I was... just had to be at the end of the ground he was at... Indeed, Richmond's early 80's forward line was, in fact, something to behold. Of course, they were also the days when the ball spent a lot of time there...and one went to the football with every god-damned expectation of winning (and handsomely).

Yes. I concur, a little sad today.
