"If you give me one minute of your time I swear girl, I'll work overtime, undertime, anytime all the time" "Yeah, I'll keep some fine rags on your back" I think it may be open to debate? I might like to see the girl naked.

Right - just to recap. Was the banner aimed at Sam? It may or may not have been entirely aimed at Sam - however, I think we agree that this was Sam's last night - me and my mate Mick Bradbury did the petition - fact. Did the banner get Sam the sack? Probably not - I think his fate was already sealed. The banner did stoke up quite a bit of emotion though and didn't help. Was it 1981 or 1980? My investigation has been unable to be specific about the year - cos everyone's memory is fooked. I think 1981 - but others have a different view. Was it the scottish lads? Definitely no - I have ruled them out. Fact. Were the lads from Stoke the guilty fookers? No - they are definitely innocent, this time anyway. What I can tell you is the guilty parties are from the North West and I have discovered that the said "banner" was home made. It does have a scottish connection. I have had some pm's telling to keep away from this piece of history. Allegedly, there are five people who know - and it's been kept a secret for many years. I will get to the bottom of it. Ironside

Yep, thanks mate. I am working on it.

But how do we know Barry? Did she? I've heard this line so many times - think the record's got stuck. I would also like to know who was around to witness, and therefore substantiate, that that Crocker geezer actually used a ton of explosives. Seems to be erring on the side of bullshit to me. And whilst we're on the subject I do not believe for one minute that the geezer from the Moments rang his bird nine times. Right - I'll get me coat. I'm off to see the Forest kick Charltons arse!

Can anyone post up Sams bit out of black echoes?

Pm me mate. I really have got some solid leads on this - I should be able to clear people fairly quickly.

Did he eckers like! I like old Skip and his tunes. But I'm afraid we've clocked him. Lying basta*d!

I get way behind very quickly. I thought the pound was very strong against the dollar. Skip Mahoney said he'd work "over time, under time, any time, all the time" just for one minute of Janice's time. Don't believe him.

You do make me smile Simon.

You're not being sarcastic are you Barry?

I'm not saying it wasn;t a scottish flag Barry - far too early to rule that out! Just that the culprits were not the scotts lads.

Hopefully we'll nail it Barry!

I have received three post code areas via pm - they are not from Stoke. I'm unable to say any more at the time.

I'm as certain as my memory will allow that the banner appeared on Sams last night - I can't remember which year it was. I did think 81 - but someone said Sam went the year before? Anyway, the talk on the night was definitely aimed at Sam so it followed that the banner was aimed at him. Hence me and my mate Mick Bradbury from Boston at the time, doing the petition.

You could be right mate - I can't remember the actual year. My information to date is taking me north of the midlands. The truth is always out there - I'm gonna nail the fookers.

Yep bang on Barry - I forgot about old Dickie saying that!

I think the scots lads are in the clear.

It's funny Steve - I too can remember it just like yesterday. I 've a few strong leads that I'm following up. Old Ironside is confident of nailing these fookers - it's just gonna take a little time.

There may be some tarring and feathering!

So it looks lke it was 1981 then - I thought it was a bit later than 1980. Had some very interesting pms. A certain northern industrial city has been named by three seperate people.

Goin undercover for a while - I've had a few pms from some very, very odd and shady characters.

Mm. Very interesting Steve. I assume you were there and saw it? I can't remember the exact year - was it 1980 or 81? Right - gonna go and check out the fookin Stoke connection!

Right had a bit of a chat about this on Simons Cassanova thread............... It's circa 1980 - Wigan casino. Modern Soul is taking a real foothold - Messrs Searling, Sam etc. There was a growing backlash from the die hards who hated all things modern which resulted in Soul Sam receiving his marching orders from the casino. So, do you remember the night when the banner "Keep the Faith not the Funk" was hung from the balcony? Were you there? Did you see any suspicious fookers prowling round the balcony, lurking in the darkness with intent? Did you hear any whispers on the grapevine? Just who did hang that fookin banner? If you do know anything you can post up here or pm Ironside99 in complete confidence.

Sam did play the odd questionable track - but so did most of the other jocks. For me he's always been a top, top dj and all round good geezer. Now - the thought of that night with the fookin banner has got me thinking - just who was it? I never knew on the night and don't until this day. But - in good old Ironside style I'm gonna track the fookers down! I'm gonna post up a new thread. So lets be aving yers!

Just listened to that for the first time in years - it's not quite as bad as I remembered it. Lots of worse things been played over the years. I think this is one for Smiffy.
