Could well have been upto 300 extra then as steps were jammed with supporters all game. I had to stand in aisle because someone was sat/stood at my seat which was right on end of row...... and guess what? He told me he had got in without a ticket.

vulva Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I stood in the aisle. There were some very drunk people in that ground last night. And they go on about Hillsborough, but that away end is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football fans come from different backgrounds and cultural - some fans are appalled at any trouble and talk of it, but it's happened for 50 yrs and much less now that when i was young. I grew up in the 80s and early nineties and it use to give me a buzz. It's difficult to explain, but it was a bonding, defending your team, club cultural type thing, that is what it is. Being on West Street in the 80s was a frightening and exhilarating experience at the same time. That's what we did, but i accept many similar age fans were doing anything but this and couldn't even being to understand. Absolutely spot on, I used to love it all back in the 80s but like I’ve said many times before, you’d be daft to be active now, life time ban & prison sentence? No thanks Some of the do gooders on here need to get off their high horse, some people grew up in areas where fighting was normal & was certainly normal on a Saturday too! I haven’t threw a punch in about 15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The do gooders have to realise for 50 years or thereabouts there has been both a matter of honour/sticking up for the club both On and Off the field. Its as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebowl Yell Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It’s never been the same since they normalised women coming to games. Atmosphere as gone downhill and all the do gooders get self righteous when a bit of slapping goes off. Wish we had more balls as men and just said enough’s enough this is a men’s game but in this climate you get bloody crucified. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then went off for a bit and ended up back in there for 1 last pint (about 11ish?) Perhaps it was all kicking off whilst I was drinking my crappy Carlsberg outside? Apparently about 15-20 blades turned up at last orders and kicked off with about 6 Wednesday. Then more Wednesday poured out of other pubs and got involved. From what I hear it took police quite some time to arrive. Heard different things about someone with a knife but I suspect that might be trying to make it sound ‘better’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no hooligan but had I have still been Rawsons when they turned up I would probably have joined in. These people slagging off the ones who had a go, need to get a life. If you don't like it ignore the thread, most of the time if your not looking for trouble you can avoid it, even if it kicks off around you, if you want to get away you can. Bet the people who are condoning the "lads" would want them to appear if a bunch of BBC was about to attack them. I know I shouldn't say this, because it's not good if there's been trouble, BUT, they've been threatening a bloodbath for Owls fans going down there, seems they got more than they bargained for. Well good. Ps Much more importantly it was great to see those on the pitch show some fight too. Got to agree, most clubs have a minority who like a bit of aggro, if they want to go out of the way for a bit of fisty cuffs fine, but the difference with the lane scrubbers is they want to terrify everybody,young, old, children, supporters in colours, spitting, throwing missiles and abuse on innocent people, the people running their club do nothing about it, that's why they are classless scrubbers, and if they got some of their own medicine last night then good.

I once got kicked and covered in spit when caught on my own at Swindon in the 70'S....only to get saved from further damage by a group of Wednesday fans who came round the corner like the cavalry ... ...Except they thought I was a hard Swindon fan who didn't run, it was a split lip and a massive black eye later before they realised i was a Wednesday fan.
