Was that a few 45 year Millwall (dockers?) in the north stand?

 

[Nottseagull]

Villa in 1971-2? Let's not forget a certain South London club used to bring a lot down too.

Mopeds in the late 60s looked like this

most were in front of the West Stand (to start with). F Troop, Treatment (wearing surgical masks!) and Half Way Liners I recall. It was ok until we equalised, then some fool scored the winner for Albion. Full time whistle followed by sprint training along OSRoad.

The Hammers game when the claret and blue scarves came out in the North stand at half time 81-82 season i think, could have been 82-83 though .

Far too young to have seen any of the mobs mentioned so I'll say Cardiff City at the Goldstone in March 1997. The Soul Crew seemed to be everywhere outside the north stand and in the park after the game. I got punched in the face for no reason.

I can't remember what year it was, but Spurs were down, it may have been an evening game, I can't quite recall. But the North stand was full and I was refused entry. So I went into the North West corner. A couple of my mates were already in there and there was a few faces that I didn't recognise. Anyway went at half time to get a tea (I use that term loosely) all of a sudden there was a scuffle and the old bill went steaming in with a couple of stewards. A girl of around 15/16 was on the ground with St Johns, stewards and police crouched over her. She had been sliced right down the side of her face and there was blood everywhere. After the game I remember loads of us waited for them bastards to come out. They had a big big mob down that day and we really had our work cut out with them. I think it was either them or Chelsea, I recall the Headhunters running amok down Queens road, and West street.

Chelsea 83, mainly because of their numbers. I got two entirely separate knuckle sandwiches that day, only one of which was my own fault! Mind you, like many other mobs, coming to Brighton on a Friday night was never their most intelligent idea.

I must be a JCL, I can only remember Birmingham '84 out of that list! I remember Oxford brought an impressive mob down around '84-'85, anyone remember that?

Impressive? Surely you meant 'A'?

No, I think it was the year they got promoted to the top division and they were allocated most of the east terrace, which they pretty much filled. I remember there was trouble inside and outside of the ground, some of the worst I'd seen there up until then, but I'd only been going since october '83

Palace 2011. I'm still so scared that even typing it makes a little bit of wee emerge.

It's gotta be Chelsea in 83, or Spurs in 78, surely. As for the Pompey game in 1977, was only a nipper but all I recall is the North Stand screaming "you'll never make the station" at them. As for Cardiff in 97, was there trouble? I don't remember this at all, was in the North Stand and walked back to the car across the park - I must have been reading the programme, or something.
