Terry Gibson scored our goal to win 1-0, unfortunately we lost the first leg 2-0. Was at that game as well.
Cheers for that
No, wasn't there but knew he had his 60th.
And the hot dog and burger carts. Hundreds of em?

That was the year we went for them in there end (side) long before the zulu's.. Split them all ways and the pitch had a few more lads looking for a game
There where 3 spurs mobs for London games that made my hair stand on end.. That wall 'Harry the dog' game... The midweek league Cup game at West ham where we met at the blind beggar and never took a backward step all night and Imho nobody would have matched us that night..all our little postcode mobs where united that night for once... And the sloane square meet for the chavs f. A. Cup game.. That was the biggest firm ever.. Most went down King's Road but a really good mob went down the embankment and we smashed the feck out of them. Including all. There named gents (fully limbed and one with a bit missing) at worlds end . And again after all over and especially getting another result at Victoria.
Millwall will always live in my memory though.. Coming of age son to speak?
Stevenage boys .. I've seen some pics of those lads waiting for the bus in Stevenage. Plus a lad I know from. Another site is one of them..
One of the best and worst away days ever.. Happy days..
Definatley.. Long time no see mate.
Did anyone go to the fa cup replay between Enfield and Barnsley in 1981 I think, me and all my mates went, and WHL was packed.
I know that some media outlets accuse football fans of glorifying football violence in the past... and I get that there is no place for it nowadays with all the privilege and entitlement that modern football fans experience.
...but fuck me, if the hairs on the back of yer neck aren't risen by some of the posts on 'ere, there's summit wrong wiv' ya!

He wasnt wrong.. The old goldstone ground was an accident waiting to happen that day. I recall victoria Station early that morning.. it was like rush hour but in blue n white only.. Them days being nicked was a last option for plod.. Came out of Brighton Station to about 100baton welding plod.. Kicked off immediatley.. Can just remember running down a street and down to the seafront and getting a baton round the back of my knees that took me down but still aware enough of trying to kick the police dog to stop it biting me.. Got into the long openside of the ground and there where fans up the floodlights, on top of the stands roofs and thousands outside. Never felt so crowded in a ground tbh. And loads where carried out with all sorts of crush injuries.The Fish

What are you memories of Brighton away in the 2nd? Couple of people who i know that went reckons we took over though whole town.
Meant to have been a mad one.
It was a bit more then. .it was a culture.. It would be very hard to explain it to someone now..the adrenalin rush when your with your mates and it was about to go off? As a few have tried to engage as well You took your life in your hands going away.. Quite apt with one of the getting cut at wall last month everton was one of the worst places and they. where forever waving metal in your face.. Nothing was arranged in those days either.. They knew you where coming and knew who you where because of how you dressed.and vice versa.. Being hijacked at lime Street station became an occupational hazard .
Always, loved going to man u especially. 2nd division like some have already spoken off was possibly the best season travelling around the country.. Most places anywhere their would be a reception waiting
But one away game above all else I can recall like yesterday.. Forest away . Ossie and Ricky's debut our first game back in div 1 as it was then. . Kr's coach up that day..not my thing though.. I was train firm from then on.
Same. Did KR once i think. Maybe twice. If it didn't break down at least once it was a miracle and half the time you would be coming back to London with no windows.
Quickly moved on to the trains.
I've described it as like the film The Warriors. A fight for survival at many games.
Loved every minute of it though.
Yep, I was there with a load of mates, up in the cage I think. Was when the west stand was being rebuilt.
Done krs coaches on a few more occasions.
You and me both mate...its been a blast on the whole and wouldn't change my experiences for anything.
Done the train for Forest away that day, police escourt from the station, heavy handed c**ts were clueless when it kicked off on the bridge and it seemed surreal hearing the sound of the forest fans splashing in the River Trent!
Different days
