wakefieldowl Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 5 hours ago, Ian Fleming said: Middlesbrough away about 88, we won at Middlesbrough and as we were in Croftys coach we decided to call for a drink on the way back in a place called Knottingley. We all piled into a boozer that unbeknown to us was heavily populated with coked up Leeds fans. We decided to drink up quick but before we finished it kicked off big time. We got chased all over Knottingley and everybody ended up in different directions, with some even running to the cop shop. My mate ended up in someone's house hiding for cover and another lad had been caught and duly dealt with. Not the most pleasant of evenings but at least we won that day and I've never been back to Knottingley since. Knottingley is roughanytime ! Not a good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casbahowl Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Fulham Broadway on any given away game at Chelsea in the eighties………. Different times that those who weren’t there will never understand……… All about the football & the music………. Wednesday lads were well known for our anti racist views & proud of the fantastic black lads who were amongst our numbers, some of whom were roadies for The Clash. Chelsea at the time were pure racist scum & always gave us the warmest of welcomes & to our eternal credit we more than held our own! Still didn’t make that walk up those steps at Fulham Broadway station any less terrifying. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it looked like kicking off after and the coppers charged with the horses and trampled a young kid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie melua Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Port Vale away under Turner. Got thrashed 3-0, played absolutely dreadful. Getting back to Stoke station was a nightmare, even worse was the ambush by Stoke fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Millwall away league cup night match around 1979. Think it was 3-3. We got run across the pitch into the main stand before the game. After the match plod kept us in the ground for around 30/40 mins. On returning to our coaches most windows had been put through. No escort whatsoever, coming back up Old Kent Road cockneys had been lying in wait and attacked coaches again. I can remember diving on the floor as house bricks came through the left hand side of the coach and straight out the right side due to the fact we were already windowless. Driver also seemed to think the windscreen had been cracked by an air rifle. It was absoluteky freezing all the way back up M1. Everyone had a story to tell when we all gathered together at Watford Gap for a warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Millwall fan come up to the fence and flashed a massive knife at that match. Man U in 94 was bedlam and Derby when the Police charged on horses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
