Yellowfuture 71 Posted February 16, 2010 [quote user="......and Smith must score."][quote user="Mister Chops"][quote user="morty"]I use a chippy I think is fantastic.But don''t know what the street is called.Walk from the market, through the taxi rank and up teh hill, church on your left and Tesco on your right.About 50 yards up hill turn right into narrow alley with lots of clothes shops, at the bottom of that street theres a chippy on the corner that is amazing[/quote]That''s the corner of Pottergate & Lower Goat Lane. It''s not bad, probably the best in the city centre but Stafford Street Chippy for me too, though it''s out of town.[/quote]Strangely enough the Welsh couple who run the Pottergate chippy are the same couple who used to run the Stafford St shop back in the day.The woman in there is Henry Cooper''s sister-in-law, and, surprise surprise, is the spittin'' image of '' Our '' Enery''s '' missus......[/quote] Dont tell Morty they are Welsh or he will imagine that they are trying to poison his chips!

Sing Up The South Stand 0 Posted February 16, 2010 As Jas said, Stafford St (between Earlham/Dereham Road) are the best. Also the Golden Chips on Dereham Road, just past Grapes Hill (so v central) on the corner with Charles Square is not too bad either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,024 Posted February 16, 2010 I remember a trip to see us play Bradford City away at the Odsal Stadium, we won that day to seal promotion to Div 1, the fish and chips we had from a chippy near the ground were superb, coal fired range and the chips fried in beef dripping.....

missing in action? 0 Posted February 16, 2010 [quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]I also remember stopping at a Wisbech chippy that heated the fat with a coal fire. Fabulous fish.Sutton Bridge is good too on the way home from games in the Midlands.One of my favourite memories was stopping in Grantham on Lily Kemps bus at a chip shop where our players were all buying chips after a great 2- 2 draw at the old Baseball Ground.I remember Martin Peters (a real legend)putting his cod on the counter to salt and vinegar his chips first and Kenny Brown opening his wallet to give a couple of ''ladies'' to the old girls on the bus for drinks later.I don''t remember if this was the same year we had a game on Grantham Town''s pitch next to the chippy but one year we did![/quote]you know my great grandmother too!!she told me about that and how duncan forbes bought her a portion!

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted February 16, 2010 MIA I am just glad to hear she is around still. I hope she is well. Is Patsy with her scarf full of badges still alive?We had some wonderful boozy times, very few fans went away in those days so seldom any segregation either.I remember a great night with Capital Canaries in the Orporto at the top of Shaftesbury Avenue and some good times in Walthamstow but can''t remember the pub.Of course, I was only a teenager then and she wouldn''t remember me but what a City fan she has been. And a proper old Eastender too I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquid_football 0 Posted February 16, 2010 I''d also recommend the Hall Rd chip shop (at the City end opposite The Freemasons Arms) You can then enjoy a few ales in the excellent Kings Arms which is just down the road. Better still, have your chips in the pub as they let you take your own food in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted February 16, 2010 You are a bit older than me I think Nigel.First away game \i went to was Derby (1974 I think) and what a hole, a newspaper for a programme and a 3 -1 defeat after Ted MacDougall put us into the lead with a diving header.

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted February 16, 2010 Many years ago, when just a season ticket holder, Delia wrote a piece for the Sunday press - celebrities at matches and made mention of the now no longer chippy. You could smell the chips in the Main Stand (pre burning down) before the end of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted February 16, 2010 She has been a City fan for many years, Nigel. I remember myself and Mrs. H sitting next to her and Michael at Southampton in the FA Cup. We drew that game, beat Saints at home then went to the semi-finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
