Did anybody go to the re-arranged York match-think it was played on a Tuesday at 11 O'clock in the morning or something-

Yes I went, only the North stand open and York fans in the south seats. Strange all round

Yep they won to save them from relagation. I wonder what would happen nowadays. When Leeds fans invaded the pitch during their last home game in 2007 the ref said he would keep the teams in the dressing room until midnight if he had to in order to finish the game.

Yes but the Leeds fans didn't go home with the goal posts

I was 13 years old and couldnt understand why our own fans broke the goal. 15 years on and I still don't !

It was played behind closed doors from what I remember

Don't get me wrong, I understood the need for taking action by means of a pitch invasion, just never really understood the need to start breaking stuff.

Maybe for the publicity, it meant the game had to be abandoned before Euro 96? Just a thought

I wonder if we would be where we are today if that never happened that day ?

I don't think Euro 96 was featuring in the thoughts of many people that day. In fact, I know it wasn't.
Nor was it about "hoping for some publicity". It was sheer desperation and a wish to say NO - at what was, possibly, the last Albion match to be played at the Goldstone - or, in the worst case scenario, anywhere.

Yes Lord B it had been brewing, and everyone knew something was going to happen, well except the FA who seem to have been taken by surprise. It made live coverage on grandstand, front page in the sunday newspapers and the first story on the national news news. Might not have looked for publicity but that is what it got

you, me and DF were some of the first few on the pitch, i was relieved when hundreds of others joined us . Do you recall the Fulham fans at Baker street prior to a euro 96 game telling us to keep on protesting and invading the pitch if necessary ?

No it wasn't, I was there, it was held on a weekday morning. Very strange atmosphere.
The York fans were let in for free and we lost!
Shut up you prick.You really are a tedious arse.The nearest you have ever been to 'direct action' is wiping your own nose.Every post you try with your left wing credentials.I think you protest too much,probably went to private school and works for Daddy.

Is this a nigel on this thread, this should be good..not left or right wing, grandads docked newhaven and also labourers.. i work in the city tho and laughed at your spotty 300 teenagers.. cant imagine why you are called nigels. Now just watch the footage of the york city game and compare. Oh may as well throw in our charity shield. Being serious for a second, young nigel take a tip, its only football and only a laugh

Lets agree to disagree - as i remember things, we were hoping to get some publicity,and if that involved getting a game abandoned and being on the 10 O'clock news that evening then all the better, but it was more to get the attention of the powers that be,namely the FA than anything else.They were desperate times though when looking back.
