Does Brighton have a football hooligan firm

[Return of the Rev]

I haven't read through the whole thread but......points that may be remembered:

Luton away Plume of Feathers pub

Norwich away Debenhams

Sheff Untd home on pitch

Leeds in the park.

Southampton at the Fonthill junction

Arsenal in the North

Birmingham in the South

West Ham in the North with and without roof

Charlton outside Hove station

West Ham at Mile End

Southampton outside the Dell away end

Palace and Millwall after good Friday game...Norwood

Man City at Sackville lights

Man City outside the Bell

.....just off the top of my head.

BIRMINGHAM IN THE N/W SURELY

 

[somerset]

I thought the Debenhams incident was Peterborough, if there was a Debenhams incident at Norwich then its Debenhams x 2, should get some sort of loyalty card

I only recall the Norwich one, can vouch for that one personally.

BIRMINGHAM IN THE N/W SURELY

Yes, they actually started in the South Stand seats before being kicked out and then wondering back in the NW corner from behind the West stand, I had a few guests with me that day,... they had a surprise after I had told them it was the safest spot in the ground.

Shrewsbury in Woolworths up there in the cleaning dept with mops and brooms.
If only I was joking.........Gulls eye coach 89 I think.

And the Big one.....Spurs at home in 78. Easy to wield I think although the vileda mops I've never got on with during fights.

My mate..... Who shall remain nameless, although he does pop on here from time to time once hit a Saints fan around the head with a carrier bag of Melton Mowbray pork pies and some Scotch eggs.
There are very few incidents that I can recall of pastry filled savouries being used in football violence.

An unsavoury incident.

As Ernie would no doubt testify:
Now Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart,
And Ernie, he pushed her aside and a rock cake caught him underneath his heart.
And he looked up in pained surprise and the concrete hardened crust,
Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust.

Bravo.

Peterborough was more of a John Lewis 'shopping' experience

 

[brighton bluenose]

they stormed out of preston park station one year,even turned out of bh station

Remember ambushing Palace at Preston Park station in early eighties - let them get off train and through the tunnel and then as they got to top of steps on the other side we charged at them from the end of the walkway and chased them back down the hill towards the hotel! They stopped briefly at a skip at the bottom of the road and after lobbing a few bricks started legging it again - gave up chasing them when we got to Preston Park itself!!

CS gas attack on Palace drinking down Trafalgar street "pre season friendly"

That was the thing sten you didn't need to be anywhere near a football ground in those days ,london underground and Mainline stations were always potential flash points

The Debenhams incident was definitely at Norwich.
