funniest away day experience

[Gully]

OK, I am bored, so I thought that I would start another thread about away day experiences...there must be faaasands of em out there just waiting to be heard.

This season we had Jakey breaking the net at Yeovil, during the half time interval, plus the hawk moths attacking the crowd in the second half. A couple of seasons ago at Plymouth, despite being on the end of a 5-1 drubbing, the crowd amused themselves in the second half with a blow up shrek donkey...not as bad as it sounds, but guess you had to be there.

Coming back from Leicester one year.

The majority of us on arrival at St Pancras decide to go to Mables for a few beers. The Cardinal stumbles back to the Thameslink Station, gets on the train for Brighton, passes out, when he wakes up he is Flitwick.

It turns out the train was not the last one back to Brighton, but went to Brighton then up to Bedford. Ended up costing him a cab back to Luton and £60 for a B&B.

Taxman stories tend to out do Oaf stories. Never has the Oaf's actions led to the purchase of new bedding equipment or a night in a mental hospital...

Crewe a couple of years ago was quality - the childrens game at half time

Marvellous

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Watford a couple of years ago...we drew 1-1 and when we scored the whole Brighton end went mental and I ended up in a heap of about 20 bodies in between the seats all shouting at the top of their heads.

It was very funny

On the way back from Port Vale the year we won the league and went up there en masse. We had hired a minibus which was a we bit didgy to say the least and was just about good enough to make it there and back. On the way back we were racing a minibus full of cardiff fans and were doing the obligatory line of moonies out the window at them so much so that we missed our turning off the motorway and ended up taking about 7 hours to get home via some odd inbred village in the cotswolds or somewhere where we offered some young birds a portion of chips to flash their tits.

Gotta love those drunken football away days.

 

[Stinky Kat]

we had a minibus that day and mooned some cardiff fans but they were about 16. We still put our foot down though. We also told a bus load of Rushden fans that they were shit at the services and they were all 70. It seemed funny at the time and we did it with smiles on our faces. we were very drunk. So drunk I texted 606 and said Brighton would get 3 promotions in a row. Mark Lawrenson read it out and said I was wrong. If Taylor had stayed he would have been proved wrong

West Ham away, two years ago. Waiting to get into the tube station after the game, and some chavvy teenage home fan, pissed off at losing, walks past the queue of smiling Albion fans, retorting in the only way he knows how:

"You're all f***ing faggots anyway! You're faggots! You f***ing take it up the arse!"

Unfortunately for him at this point, he was concentrating so hard on ensuring we got this message loud and clear, he walked face first into a lamp post. In front of, oooh, twenty or so Albion fans.

If I ever questioned the existence of a God, that one moment proved to me unequivocally that He's up there somewhere, watching on, and he wears blue and white

I have posted this before I think and it is sort of within the spirit of this thread.

I used to live on the Selhurst Road. I recall a disturbance on a Saturday after Palace had played Swindon. On looking out of my window I witnessed a gang of Palace chasing some Swindon 'lads'.

The Swindon lads dodged past some squidgy Police Horse poo, however, the Palace 'firm' didn't see it and slid into it. The first bloke slipped over on to his arse and then rest all fell over him. They gave up the chase and spent the next 10 minutes wiping horse shit off their designer gear!1

This is not an away day for us, but always makes me laugh. Sheffield Wednesday at home, probably two years ago again.

A group of loud, swaggering and gobby professional northerners are being escorted into Brighton after the game by the local police. They decide the only way to get rid of the coppers is to nip into the nearest pub for a drink.

Which happens to be Doctor Brightons.

The group stroll, unwittingly, into said pub, singing songs about wife-beating and poofs, and order themselves a pint of something suitably northern and manly.

The pub's clientele look up slightly from their drinks when the group arrive, but clearly decide to put up with the intrusion and go back to the conversation. At which point the Wednesday fans, clad in Burberry & Aquascutum etc, start talking amongst themselves, in the usual indiscreetly loud tones.

Mucking around, one of them accidentally drops a pint in the middle of the floor, breaking the glass and sending beer everywhere.

"Ey up Dave" shouts one of the Wednesday fans "I bet thee fifty quid yer won't dare bend over ter pick that oop round 'ere".

Cue sudden silence in pub, followed by slow realisation amongst Wednesday fans that they've walked into a gay bar. Everyone's looking at them, and a few of the punters start to stand up.

All ten of the Wednesday fans sup their pints quicker than they've ever drunk before and hastily walk out of the pub, brushing their jackets and jeans in a masculine manner and praying nobody ever finds out (or puts it on the internet) that they went into and were then chased out of a bar full of "poofs" (as they put it).

We were travelling to Wimbledon a few years ago now and we hired a coach and it had a woman driver, we thought she seemed to be going a funny way but thought nothing of it, she knows what she's doing, then she proceeds to pull up outside of Wembley Stadium thinking the game is there. We missed about the first 10 minutes of the game.

 

[Lander]

Coventry 3 seasons ago

There were train delays and we had to wait at coventry for a coach and a brighton fan said this is a f***ing joke then 2 dog units came round a riot van or two and a few squad cars!

Finally got on the train for them to tell us that they have cancelled the train from Watford junction. Got into London then was told to get on a bus from Euston to Victoria then ended up at Seven Sisters, shit at the time, funny now though

As mentioned on another thread, the gay Mexican Wave at Forest. It went on for ages.

Seeing that from the Forest end was a highlight of the game, only to be eclipsed by Nathan Jones scoring the goal of the season.

Post of the year.

Millwall this season was pretty good, especially taking on their firm of twelve year olds.

Blackpool during the petrol crisis? There were about forty of us, mostly northern exiles, and we won, and we sang "up with the petrol, we're going up with the petrol"

Rochdale away in 1997, where a bloke disguised as Bellotti was smuggled out, even though it wasn't really him, would have been hilarious if it wasn't so desperate.

And "Better Luck Next Year Brighton" always makes me chuckle.

I wonder if that sheet will make an appearance tomorrow?

Not directly anyway

Can't believe my 'minor' indiscression has been viewed by over a 1000 people - does it make me a media whore?
