Who is Steve Gritt?

[swindonseagull]

Just got in from the game....

I shit you not this conversation happened in the East Stand Block F just behind me.

I have never seen either man A or Man B before so I think a STH sold his ticket.

At half time there will be an interview with Steve Gritt is announced.

Man A ..whos he?
Man B..... dunno

Man A.............. im going for a piss
Man A returns.

Man A .....so who was he?

Man B.......some guy who scored a goal against Hereford in a cup game!!!!!

FFS......i was about to turn round and tell them but I thought better off it,, I will just let them wallow in their stupidity...


SECOND HALF PENALTY TIME....

There were people in the East shouting at others to SIT DOWN while the Pen was being taken......!!!!!!!!!! FFS WHO LETS THESE MUPPETS IN A FOOTBALL GROUND?

Bit harsh? It was 15 years ago. Not every single person in the stadium is going to be a die hard blue and white bleeding Albion fan.

 

[swindonseagull]

They had ears ( he was introduced very well) and were at least 40 - 45 years old....

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Someone in front of me asked why he was being so loudly applauded, "we were shit that season, weren't we?"

I understand your outrage, but there's a lot of history people just don't know. Not knowing who Steve Gritt is though. That's unfortunate for them.

 

[Doc Lynam]

No its not harsh, this was a major moment for the existence of our club. I would of just explained to them who he was.

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

I was 4 when he saved us, I knew who he was... No excuse really.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

And still, no one has answered who he is exactly. Is he friends with Todd Carty?

In that case, he must have been an early prototype of Russell Slade.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

That happened in the 1901 west stand as well...punter back from lounge just after Stevie was introduced asked a steward who he was...Steward said,"That's Steve Gritt"!....Oh! who's he?....Steward shrugs and walks away,knowing who Steve was but too ar*ed to answer stupid questions...the punter must have been about 50...if he'd been a youngster I could've forgiven him....ps. I'm 1901 too.

 

[Triggaaar]

You should have politely explained.

I had a similar incident at half time when queueing for a beverage, when a gentleman said the pies weren't very good. I explained to him, that no matter how many he had tried, he'd been unlucky, and that the pies were great. Midway through the second half, he admitted he'd made a mistake, and we returned to our seats.

 

[pastafarian]

i guess the moral of the story is we are picking up new supporters from all age groups......cant be a bad thing can it?

ive introduced 2 new fans to the albion this season,father and son, who are now hooked and desperate for season tickets, neither of who i suspect know anything about steve gritt,in my book every single new fan is welcome whatever the age,but in the same breath have a quick look at our history chaps,you might just appreciate the club even more......it really does make a cracking story!

 

[BadFish]

At least they are asking though. Surely we can forgive people not knowing?

Why are we knocking new supporters. Surely it's a good thing. We all have to start somewhere. The 'history' comes with time. Should an entrance exam be set before anyone can go?

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

what was it? "GRIT BELEIVES BELLOTI BULLSHIT" summink like that, them days eh?

Oh yes. Can you imagine the squealing and tweeting on results day outside the stadium. The Amex A'level. Gives me an idea.......

I had thought you'd have learnt to spell 'believes' since you ruined your best sheet.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

yeah I couldn't spell Gritt or Bellotti at the time either, but it was two o'clock in the morning and I was keeping an eye out for old bill, very suspicious walking down OSR at that time of the morning carrying 5 litres of Dulux (on reflection, yes I should have used Sandtex)

 

[Billy the Fish]

Without Steve Gritt, there might not have been an Amex Stadium. People really should take the time to learn stuff like this.
