Johnny Haynes

it was it after Ipswich when he didn't come over and he said in the press conference afterwards that he that wasn't his thing and is that what he said Jack it was yeah

yeah pre-Hull he basically said it's this isn't the sort of thing I do and Dave Kidd was like this is what the fans want to see from you and then we won against Hull and he made a you know he made a grand gesture to do it in front of the Johnny Haynes and front of the Hammersmith like it was a quite a big thing and then to continue doing it.

I mean, it's obviously a good thing.

You know, I was sort of finished all my post-match stuff, looked up and I was like, wait, he's still on the pitch.

yeah

um he sent a great message to me he said you brought the bear on the pod this week accusing the johnny haynes stand so the actual issue is quite funny there's no wi-fi In the Johnny Haynes standard, we have a lot of older season ticket holders that struggle to open their phones and get their Google slash Apple wallet.

Then realizing their ticket hasn't updated.

There's no Wi-Fi and no phone reception.

It'd be great to get a word on the issues getting into the ground yesterday.

Some people queuing for half an hour getting into the Johnny Haynes.

Stevenage Road is pretty crazy pre-game now.

Riverside seems to have a really long queue too.

And I don't know if the answer to that is...

I don't know, finding other gates or other entrances or other turnstiles that we can open up to make things easier.

I know the Johnny Haynes is even harder because there's those incredibly kind of thin, small entrances, which you can only kind of like sidle up to one by one.

I'm not exactly sure, you know, whether it's getting people to do those searches in the queue before we get to the turnstile and effectively move it through even faster or whatever that is.

You see? Al gets it.

Why don't you get Diego Costa in out of retirement? How about you get Johnny Haynes back from the dead? Just get...

Someone get some goals into this team.

Like, bloody hell.

And he had quite a good England career as well, I think.

Did he? Obviously, the other inside forward to Johnny Haynes.

But,

yeah, you know,

Now, this was a strange game.

You know, Fulham do have some excellent players, including the great J- Johnny Haynes-

He's still there

... who, you know, who is getting on a bit, but he's still got that magic touch, wonderful passer of the ball.

you're in a home section

this is our stadium you know what I mean I mean it happened last season when Everton scored their first and then their second goals against us last season heads already on Mars but there was two Everton fans at the front of the Johnny Haynes And the reaction, we've had this conversation before on Jack and John, I'm pretty sure of it, probably after that game.

But the reaction from the stewards is so slow and so like, well, what can we do? Just kick him out.

They're obviously not Fulham fans.

For anyone that doesn't know, or anyone that wasn't there, or anyone that's just too young to have known it, but that Shane Long equaliser is one of my most heartbreaking moments in football.

There was a moment I knew we were relegated.

We used to sit together down in the Johnny Haynes stand, didn't we?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and Fulham were your club, weren't they, growing up?

They were, indeed, with the great Johnny Haynes and mainly because my dad was from Fulham he was the only man in Chelsea that came from Fulham really you know because he played for the boys club team and the old boys team my dad and my uncles and they all played but he was the only one from Fulham and He never really said or wanted me to watch anyone.

It's just that I wanted to go to Craven Codger.

And the first time I went, I loved the stadium.
