I can't remember the player's name Let's call him "Smith", or even the team, but I believe he was a new-ish recruit to the away side at NP, he was on the wing by the bobbank, and he kept waving, like "pass to me", only for his team-mates to play elsewhere.
After this happened a few times, the whole bob bank went crazy, waving their arms in the air, chanting "let's all do the Smithy" (or whatever his name was)

Can anyone fill in the details?

Chris Hussey of Coventry.

In about 1971, when standing on the Bob Bank a ball ricocheted in to the crowd. My mate instinctively put up his hand to stop in, not realising he was holding a pastie at the time! The mess went over everybody.....and he had to go and buy another pastie.

Good shout, I think it was CCS though wasn't it? And it was the Ninian Stand doing the waving

Steve Lethal Lynex volleying a ball during a match and it getting wedged between a gate and the fence and everyone wetting themselves. Think it was against Newport County

Back in c1969-71 some friends and I stood behind the Boys' Enclosure in the Grange End. One of the lads brought along his girl-friend who promptly sat down on the concrete terracing, pulled out a copy of Tolstoy's, "War & Peace," and read it throughout the game.

I experienced that many times when we were playing towards the Canton Stand. I stayed down the front when we attacked the Grangetown End.

Nope. She read it during all the game whether there was play or stoppages. I think her name was Patti.
