British Rail Buffet Palace-Brighton 1985

[Lenny Rider]

Does anyone else remeber the incident on the train going up to that game in April 85?

The attendant basically looked at the number of fans in the buffet car, grabbed the till, and went and sat in the guards van, but then had the front to go on Coast to Coast the following night when it was the lead story and saythe place had been ransacked and Albion hooligans had also 'overpowered him' and made off with the takings!

It was the only night up to the present day that I've enjoyed the unlikely combination of brandy and fruit cake.

Surely not such an unusual combination? Or is it just me? Delicious!

That was the 'penalties' game in 1989.
