And I mean, that, that protest against Grimsby goes down in-- has gone down in folklore, hasn't it? That, uh, in 1994, Jase will remember it.
M

There was a-- We lost three-nil at home to Grimsby, and a small but determined knot of Watford fans sto-tried to storm the director's box where they saw, thought Jack Petchey was.
M
37:50MikeHOST
And that was visible action.
M
37:53MikeHOST
And that, that-- It was, it was a different world then.
M
38:00MikeHOST

10:40RonAUDIENCE
He lied that Krepin Diatta, um, was brought in because of the scouting as opposed to his agent who t- um, yesterday said, um, his wage demands were too high and he desperately had to join a club.
R
10:53RonAUDIENCE
Um, it's just utter lies, and they treat us, um, with complete contempt.
R
10:59RonAUDIENCE
So Jack Petchey didn't treat us with contempt, but Pozzo and Duxbury treat us with contempt.
R
11:05RonAUDIENCE
