[Albion] 28 years ago tonight

[HangletonGull]

I remember a lot of the other events. The march through Mellor, the boycotted game, the protests when on TV (Bournemouth and Orient), leaving 15 minutes before the end, Bellotti being chased out the ground etc.

Mellor was week after, Mansfield was 2 months after ,

The other is that the 39 year old Attila looks disconcerningly like a certain N Farage at a dressing up party

I thought the still made him look like Mike Yarwood doing his Eddie Waring impression

Mellor was week after, Mansfield was 2 months after ,

Funny what you remember. I can remember so much about the march through Mellor - Wigan fans singing one Billy Archer until the stewards had a word and then they started singing Archer is a wanker, Attila the Stockbroker’s poem, the pub before the march, people handing out eggs and flour (that never got used) and loads more.

Went to all these games, so wanted our efforts to be rewarded. I guess we eventually got the scum out and DK in, and the revelations which did get through to the press meant that we weren’t punished as much as we could have been. It wasn’t crowd trouble, it was legitimate protest.

I must know you , at the Wigan game was on the terricing (beardo wouldn’t let me in the seats) I went over to the Wigan and along the side and told them to turn it in, the stewards had a word and came back to me and apologised

I was in the terracing but not that close to the Wigan fans, just saw the stewards go over and then the Wigan fans’ songs changed.

I was 16 years old at the time and there with my dad.

Totally admit that all these games have blended into one now.

My main memory, and I think it was this game, was that after a demo outside the West Stand, which got a bit nasty, a hundred or so, went out to stop a load of traffic on Shoreham Road, held the north / south cars at the Hove Park Tavern traffic lights and actually started a small fire in the middle of the junction. Cue a load of people lobbing their programs and Gullys eyes (Sorry Lenny it's all I had on me) and anything else which was flammable and signing build a bonfire. Bonfire would describe this effort a bit strongly though

I was 15

I had a look at the Build a Bonfire book earlier and you’re on the pitch at the Lincoln match.

As mentioned by yourself and others on this thread, it was the Darlington evening match I was thinking of with the protest outside the West Stand.

 

[Trust Me I’m A Stomach]

Lincoln city at the goldstone, what are your memories of that night ? Mine where that arsehole banned me two days later and lost my season ticket, genuinely thought the club was dead

Same here. I was 17. I think my mum still has the letter I got from Belotti.

JCL here, how did the club determine back then who had invaded the pitch or otherwise deserved a ban? Video footage?
