Does Brighton have a football hooligan firm

[daveinprague]

Not exactly 'firm' related, but the match at Chesterfield sticks in my mind, as it was pretty funny as well. I think we had 8000 at the match, as we would be promoted as champions, if we won. We drew.
People started going onto the pitch, and I think the the police thought people were off to congratulate the players. and didnt realise their mistake until quite a few had passed the players and were on their way to the Chesterfield home end. Chesterfield fans were fighting each other trying to get out of the stand.

If I remember rightly ,they put on a special train from Clapham that day?

yes mate ,OB were struggling to control the situation when around 300 Brighton emerged from Thornton heath station from clapham, MOUNTED POLICE WERE WAITING ,Palace by all accounts were down at the D.O.C but had been moved on before Brighton arrived

Not 100% sure, I found it on Twitter and it just said Brighton, others have commented on it back in this thread, i think one said Nottingham.

Was the bloke with the red trousers the 'Oz' of Oz Cabs in the early days of Eastenders? And a ringer for Glen Geard on his left?
