NormOwl Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Remember standing outside that bar near the ground as fruit gum after fruit gum passed by, loads lining the road singing at the coaches. Great times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember pulling up on the side of the AutoBahn and a game of about 200 a side football ensued. They did everything they could to ensure we didn't get anywhere near Luxembourg itself until the very last minute, suppose it wasn't long after the English had been allowed back in European Competitions and they were still very wary of our fans. Although it was poo to go all that way for just the 90 minutes of football and then put straight back on the Coach, I still wouldn't have missed it, Nights like that and Kaiserslautern don't come around very often. I just wish we'd enjoyed it as much as you!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifax Owls Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 On the Luxembourg trip just remember an overflowing chemical toilet on the coach. Remember begging mum to lend me a double century to get to Kaiserslautern but hit a brick wall. Salad days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Great days. Spent all summer on the phone with mates planning this. We were going wherever we played. My missus at the time spent all summer telling me I wasn’t going, and I did it would result in divorce. I went, and she divorced me me for unreasonable behaviour. Thirty years on and I wouldn’t have missed that trip for anything. The resulting divorce cost me a bloody fortune but it was worth every penny. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocklington owl Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Took 16 hours on coach back to mexborough ‘we got to Calais and captain of ship wouldn’t let us and a coach of celtic fans onboard without a £500 deposit’ had a whip round just to managed it then when we arrived at Dover where we were told what money ‘80 or so angry football fans descended on p and o office and they coughed up great times great team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Meadows Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Didn’t the fruit gum take a good 24 hours or something just to get there we left Sheffield about 530am (the day before the game) and was in Luxembourg by tea time. Checked into hotel for 2 nights, evening sesh and full day looking around Luxembourg, got in the ground about 30 minutes or so before ko just as the fruit gummers were arriving then waved them them off after , whilst we had a few scoops, then back to hotel, before setting off next morning and probably beat them back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember as we were boarding our coaches, hundreds chanting at us "you're going home, you're going home, We're not, We're not" still hurts 28 Years later!! happy days mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
