That spoons in the centre was rammed full of every not-right weve ever produced.

I stayed over and got in a whole world of chaos in a club called The Purple Door.

Yep, stayed over as well, Bolton everywhere 

My brother lived there at the time, few of us stopping over, so getting tickets for non sts all up for a big session

Struggled to find spare refs, everyone was going, never made it to open sale, didn't happen often back then after several years in the PL

You'd have to lob Brighton in to that conversation too.

Jumping on this and I can't remember what division  it was -  possibly championship, but we don't remember many away teams players/performances but Swansea under brendan Rogers came to the Reebok (must have been a Promotion season for them) and they were unbelievable that day we couldn't get near as they were on a totally different level.   Always sticks out in my jaded memory this one

I've a similar memory of Fulham in 2000. We barely touched the ball that day.

Reckon you're thinking of Fulham in 2000 

I don't think we played Swansea from when des lyttle cropped walker in 93 to them getting in the PL in 2011 under Rodgers  

Played them away first that season, lost, shocking performance, that's when I started to realise we were probably going down

Good shout.  Amazing really that Burnley (1987), Brighton (1997) and Swansea (2003) all within one game of relegation out of the league given their success since then.  It would have been unlucky for Burnley, 87 was the first year automatic relegation was introduced, prior to that the re-election system effectively protected "big" clubs from relegation.

Knew a woman who worked there and Matt Glennon was a regular 

She was 'his favourite' and earned good money out of him 

Decent pair but not the best looking, though depends what the others were like

@Zico go on then, there may be new members who've not heard it yet.

right, my Ipswich story

first off, I absolutely gurantee 100% swear on what's left of my folks lives that this is true, ask my brothers, or mates, if you ever meet them

 

in the aftermath of the barry knight debacle, we're all licking our wounds on the bwfc rivals bit

 

as was the norm them days, ipswich fans came on giving it the large, dirty northern cunts, got what you deserved etc

 

 i took it personally, so go for a mooch on their section

loads of them on there "i'm a lifelong fan me, can't get tickets for wembley, gutted, beg beg beg"

so I gets this idea.....

I sign up a fake hotmail and rivals account called "portman_dave"

go on there and say I'm a lifelong fan too, got 4 tickets but mate has dropped out, 2 going spare, I want them to go to REAL fans, no JCLs, so email me telling me why you think you should have them

hour later i login to hotmail and i have loads of mails, loads

 

spend my dinner chuckling to miself as I read how they met bobby robson on their 5th birthdy, pictures with terry butcher as a kid, you name it, they'd done it

 

 one bellend tries telling me he's that hardcore he went to Grimsby away on a Wednesday night with about 200 other hardy souls, his email account is @hull.ac.uk - clearly at Hull uni, clearly not that hardcore

 

then one guy mails me this proper sob story - in the past 12 months his wife has left him, took the kids, lost his job, stuggling to make ends meet, couldn't get to the games that season so missed out on vouchers blah blah blah

 

and leaves me his mobile number 07980 whatever

so I have this other idea

 

 I mail him back and tell him he can have them for free, i'm quite affluent, his story touched me, I'll call you later with details

I then mail hull uni lad and say "grimsby away, wow, that's commitement, they're yours mate if you want them, call me later on 07980 whatever"

end of work I log back in, have mails from them both telling me i'm a right bastard I am and how could I do that to a proper football fans

so I mail them both back saying

"now you know how it feels to get shafted you cunts, come on you whites"

 

had a massive wank right after, it felt good

Shit. Forgot I had this thread bookmarked on the train in to Northampton ready to share with my Mrs. Just text it to her even though she went to bed half an hour ago. What could possibly go wrong. 

You’ve just doubled your valentines cost lad
