That's the perfect name for them, will be a record shirt seller right there.
With regard to the Dippers (or should that be Diapers) and the way that Klipperty and the media wax lyrical over their allegedly fantastic support, especially the revered and much loved (uugghh) 'Kop', I've just found out that, in Polish, the noun 'kop' - and a number of derivatives from it - all relate to a kick of some sorts.
The word 'kop' itself is the kicking or thrusting of a leg when swimming, for example and one more instance of it is inserted in the word 'Kopnij' which, before Carl swoops on this and claims it's something related to poor old Nige, means 'kick it'.
On that basis, every time someone now refers to the legendary (Spion) Kop, I'll be quietly chuckling away to myself at the thought of the gathered, inbred multitudes, crammed into their crumbling little terrace area, being no more than a bunch of kickers (much like the football they watch there).......because, at the end of the day, I'm just shallow and superficial like that
