That happened at bellends house and he, being high up on the Sussex Police authority, was able to get the police around to give him protection.
Of course, you & I could do just the same, like.

During the height of the protests I was waiting for a hip replacement op and was hobbling around with a walking stick. During one match there was a mass "sit down if you hate Archer" which I couln't do & was the only person left standing
in a sea of seated fans feeling like a right prune. To make matters worse my "friends" then started some pretend abuse along the lines of "what's up mate don't you hate Archer?" . God I felt awful!

Right on the button of 3pm when the postponed game would have kicked off, a vicious onslaught of snowballs bombarded Bellotti's house. Combined with the assailants blowing the whistle's from the Hull game, it caused quite a bit of interest in a suburban Cul de Sac where probably little happens.
The weasel could be seen squirming behind the net curtains of an upstairs bedroom before he no doubt, took refuge in his bunker. Just for good measure, a few of the local kids joined in. They had no idea who Bellotti was, but they weren't going to miss the fun.
As expected, a rapid response car was there within minutes closely followed by reinforcements. By this time, the whole street were at their gates & windows. I think we returned for round two after a pub adjournment, but there were more police guarding Bellotti's house that probably the rest of Eastbourne!
Ironic that at least two of those present that afternoon, went on to be employed by the club - No names mentioned especially as one still is.

Now my story begins in 19-dickety-two. We had to say 'dickety' cause the Kaiser had stolen our word 'twenty'. I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles.

Mine was probably the mansfield boycot game where someone let us in to the vacant East and, at half time, fans just strode across the pitch to take the directors box.

Taking careful aim from my positon on the terrace in front of the West Stand and lobbing a Mars Bar at Bellotti. Got him with it too. Oh a happy moment.

Two spring to mind, Bellend on the train back from Swansea i think. Got told to get off the train by BR OB and looked a sorry sight getting loads of abuse on Bristol station as we pulled out.
The other was bellend getting chased out of the directors seats at the old Wigan ground. I remember seeing him arrive as I was waiting for a mate at the ground. Told the pub when i got there, and funnily enough all the seats around this area suddenly sold out. He ran (literally) after the first 3 mins...

This for me. An 'inside man' opened a gate onto the East Terrace I believe. Harty with megaphone. Us 1-0 down at half time and the team being roared on to a 1-1 result by us invaders. Massive respect to the Mansfield fans who travelled down to see the match but refused to go in to watch their team in support of our protest. Marvellous scenes.
Mine was at the filming of Goodbye Goldstone, that travesty of a Meridien 'debate' on the situation. I was sat directly behind Jo Bellotti, and had noticed a mild scattering of dandruff on the shoulders of her jacket. Or maybe, to be charitable, it was just dust.
Anyway, as filming neared and the crew ran round making last minute preparations, one guy started giving the stage floor a final sweep.
I couldn't resist.
I stood up, and as 100-odd faces swivelled towards me, loudly invited the guy to "come over here mate, Jo's got some really bad dandruff going on."
Laughter all round. Bellend turns his pinched face to me and hisses, "That was a cheap shot."
Well worth it.

was at that game, just out of interest if you had of reached him what would have been the outcome?
That dick who hosted the programme - Geoff Clark - I saw him at Hereford. I went over and said " Hello Geoff are you still up Archer's arsehole?" and he laughed at me and walked away. Tosser.

I would have asked after his health, wished him a long a successful career in the political sphere, and questioned his parentage.
Or there again I may not have....
