It’s was the army lads … there’s a large army training garrison at Aldershot… they must had Saturday afternoon off and thought “ let’s have them northerners”…..like you said … a lot of old 3 division grounds where dodgy places ……… Southend/ Lincoln/Port vale……..was less trouble in league 1 and 2 It's the largest garrison in the country with nutters there from all over the country, so shouldn't really come as any surprise. Incidentally they had the best team in the country during WW2! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most matches that day had been postponed so a huge contingent of ManUre fans (whose game was also off) made the trip. The ground was basically a derelict dump with bricks everywhere. Never seen so much stuff raining down on both sides or so much blood and so many split heads. Also remember the game at Chelsea in 1975; kicked off after the game. Saw one fan (not sure which side) with his hand impaled on a spike at the top of a fence. Still sends shivers down my spine to recall it. A pal of mine took a brick to the head that game. He went out like a light. We managed to get him to pitchside, revived him then I took him round the pitch to the ambulance room where he got patched up. I remember the running battles on that side terrace with the Man U fans it was pretty nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen such a p!ssed up away end, fights breaking out all over the place on an old fashioned standing terrace with nowhere to go. I was going to mention that one. Wasn’t fun. Only time I’ve seen our own fans fighting each other, and that was before kick-off. I did smirk following week though, when the Peterborough fans who’d invaded the pitch in celebration after beating us ended up having to deal with relegation anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it was a midweek game not a Saturday! ..Thanks for clarifying it a bit for me …did we win 8-0 ?? …remember loads of short back and sides lads everywhere…just thought ..Army …. away game in them days seemed to be a drunken haze anyway ……point was .. some so called safe away grounds where just as bad as the notorious ones …. Wrexham was another….they had a forward called Billy Ashcroft who use to goad the Wednesday fans …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol totally agree ……… Another memorable one was when we lost 1-0 to in the league cup at a then 4th tier Swindon Town ……… It seemed like the whole town turned out for us ……… Absolute mayhem from getting off the mini bus at 3:30pm to getting back on after the game ………. Too many injuries & arrests for what we thought was going to be a run of the mill cup tie! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember walking past a pub full of Wednesdayites and seeing a Wednesdayite run, jump and swing on a huge chandelier... how it held his weight I'll never know. It was at that moment I probably should have realised it was going to be 'interesting' in that away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNHARKES Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Tottenham White Hart Lane 1993. Won 2-0 But remember pub before fearing for my life. Rough was an understatement. Women playing pool where 6 foot 5 and looked like they would kill you. Ney mind blokes in there. Also West Ham 1992 won 2-1 Jemson winner nearly died from the crush when winner went in. But afterwards remember it being a tad naughty. Edited January 18, 2022 by JOHNHARKES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
