I have to say that this guy is a ledgend....an absolute 'one off' character who is as eccentric as they come but none the less always worth a laugh.
On Tuesday evening at Bromley he was on top form.
Before the meeting started he was cursing away to a small group of us at how daft it was that our guests had been advised not to attend, stating that if they couldn't be trusted not to say anything that may upset the apple cart that they shouldn't be directors in the first place.
Add to that the fact that poor old Sid was the only person there who didn't know they would not be attending...(he doesn't have a computer evidently so couldn't be contacted) and the scene was set. Sid was not a happy man!!
During the AGM session at the begining of the meeting we were asked if anyone had any further questions....Right on queue dear old Sid kicks off and starts to question the treasurer on a couple of rather obscure points that I'm sure Richard Murray won't even have to answer over the next few weeks....and all over the amount of interest our accounts had earned that year....we we're talking pence here folks!
Sid don't EVER change mate your a ledge...one of those wonderful off the wall characters that makes supporting The Addicks one of lifes joys.
Anyone who's never met Sid should try to do so at sometime before he or you are no longer around to do so.Daft as a brush sometimes but lovable with it....what a character!

He drove the team bus once to an away game as well. Once. Curbs said never again.
And Syd wanted to know why we had no liabilities shown on the accounts. Mark kept a very straight face and said "cos we have no liabilities"
There were a few others who didn't know the guests weren't coming on Tuesday, my brother for one but that's his fault for not putting his email on the Bromley members list!
Free lunch at some service stations if you bring a coach in. So Syd would stop at the service station where he got a free meal not where everyone else wanted to stop.
Go by car, oh yes I do.
On his way out on Tuesday he was threatening people he would personally bar them from travelling to Cardiff if they were wearing even a hint of red !
That's why we always stopped at Watford Gap!
Didn't the supporters club ban Sid from Driving coaches at one stage.
was he? Why?
Never heard that but never paid much attention to CASC coaches politics. Life's too short.

Hi Rocky, Did Slackers get in touch with you? He'd lost your number
Because he's been told that you can't wear red !!! LOL
wanted to know if we were getting enough interest on our accounts. All for the £15 profit we made last year!!!
I remember him going absolutely bonkers at Scunthorpe last season at people who'd taken an offy detour on the way home... I wasn't even on the official trip and he was starting to have a go at me as well!
Corrupt to the core...the lot of ya....PMSL :-)
Would mind but we even have the accounts checked by a FCCA ; - )
If its the same guy, I remember being on a coach to Roker Park and the second driver being taken unwell (I Think) AND Sid decided to to do the second stage of the driving, we ended up lost somewhere in Sunderland, 20 minutes late for the kick off, and it pi55ed down the whole time.
Fortunately they got a new committee member to bring some young blood to precedings !
That's an understatement. At an away game last season one of my mates enquired about an upcoming away game and he produced info (train times, train prices, journey length, route to the ground from station etc etc) for away games for the next 3-4 months!!
LOL
Will be different for Wagstaff and Elliot.
I'm sure I heard him talking about digging out The Valley when he was younger.
Really used to enjoy that part of the job!
I'm trying not to laugh at that. I'm trying really hard not to.
Shame on all the youngsters at the bar who ducked the job : - )
