@owlstalk Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I remember being stuck in there after the gates closed I also remember many Wednesday fans were really annoyed about the dambusters song being sung Obviously they won't be amongst the 'lads' type fans who won't have heard it but there was definitely a kick back from it and some cheesed off Wednesday fans - 100% fact 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won with a Donnelly brace and the natives weren't happy, so much so that they were on the lookout for ‘Northern Monkeys’. Didn't seem like much of a threat, but the few that were armed with broken bottles put enough fear into me, and one in particular that had what seemed to be blood on his neck and face. The police were nowhere to be seen until we approached the train station and a few on horseback headed in the direction we'd just been. So, in truth, I've seen very little trouble at games down the years. My only other vivid memory was after we were relegated in 1990, and that was just a few Forest fans that were either incredibly stupid or just unlucky to be set upon. Pretty much how I remember it too. That season their fans were particularly acting up (I think that was the same season of the play off riots too). I remember leaving the ground to a bunch of nutjobs whacking anyone who might habe been from the North, and then walking round the corner and 200 or so from the local estates who'd been nowhere near the game suddenly rushed round the corner launching bricks and bottles. They built 'cowards way' the next season. Probably the safest ground you could visit nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest struckanerve Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I don't remember there being that many doing the dambusters song at United. I was sat rather than stood, and to my hazy memory it was 50 at most doing it near where the stewards split the seats up between the two sets of fans. Long time ago though, so maybe I'm wrong.

Take the 100% fact part out of it then Either way - I remember it very well. I think it was only the fans doing the Dambusters thing that thought it was cool Most others weren't impressed at all, especially when having to deal with the aftermath of being locked in and then hunted down after getting out of the ground Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Bramall Lane in 2003 when i looked and saw a firework coming in my direction. It was wobbling around and took a last second turn and hit someone a few rows in front. Bladesman culture at it's finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Not sure if scared, but walking from Town through the underpasses before games at the Lane is a bit lairy. Derby away when the police horses went crackers outside the Baseball Ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be mine. I was a teenager at the time and was terrified. I saw people getting dragged out of their cars and being attacked in the street. I was with friends and we quickly hid our colours and tried to blend in with the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have minded but I had a reight cracking beer headache and I was trying to eat my chips n curry. Out of interest I'm sure we got kept behind didnt we? We did which made it easier for them to pick up the stragglers at the back. We deliberately stayed in as long as we could thinking they would have gone home. Just as we were walking up the ramp to the road there were loads of them all came "windmilling in" with one cop on a white horse trying to hold them back. Frightening times!!

Even the other coppers were dumbstruck by his reaction was a very bizarre reaction, would have loved to have known what caused him to act that way. I seem to remember fans pelting him with stones. It was always lively at Derby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also have been the day a pub was smashed up. It’s on the front cover of the OCS book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
