I reckon that night was late 80s.  Obvious it was going to happen as they left the ground about 10 mins from the end.  Got caught right in the middle and remember some old bloke in his 80s hit the deck.  Got the old bloke back to his feet and managed to get out of it.

 

Self-preservation got the better of me that night!  There were loads of them and remember thinking that helping the old boy and I might get out without a good kicking. 

 

Apologies for being a shit fan that night.

Remember going there years ago, think we won, but main memory is coming out in the dark, and hearing a large roar and what seemed like several thousand Zulus appearing in the gloom across a large area of waste land. Unfortunately we didn't have Michael Caine.

Xmas 1990.

 

Chaos.

 

Won 3-1.

How many on here went the league after the cup final.

 

Me,casino, garp, and mrsanewman not many there.

 

Aye I went to that.

 

One the grimmest away trips I can recall. Flat isn't the word.

 

We pitched up with some yardies In the cricketers arms vaults. Basically a full on skunk session with a coal fire and pints of mild.

Happy day - me and an old London White sauntered past the team coach and Fred Barber jumped out and asked if we were the "lads after the tickets". Of course we said "yes" and so got in for nowt after he handed them over! Some poor sods presumably had to unexpectedly pay full whack, but them's the breaks!

Got my ticket at the tills along with the last Pie & Pint voucher.

( Well the last one in the metal cashbox at the tills)

 

PS. those wanting to use the voucher at half time will be disappointed, it's got to be used by 7:30PM
