[NSC] First time whacked at a brighton game

[RossyG]

I was walking through the railway tunnel near the Goldstone with some Faces and saw some casuals from the Bristol City firm taking liberties. So I says to my mate, I says, “They reckon they’re tasty geezers, but I reckon they’re being proper naughty on our patch. Looks like someone needs to give them a good spanking and no mistake.”

So we sidles up to them, all casual like and...

No, not really. I’m an Amex JCL. The worst I’ve had to deal with is someone accidentally kicking over my bottle of Evian while I’m trying to open my packet of prawn cocktail sandwiches.

16th April 1976 Tiger Towner cut in from the right wing and sent a long range shot towards the top left corner, at the last moment their keeper (Nicky Johns if I recall correctly) leapt to his right and tipped the goal bound shot just over the corner of the goal frame, me being in the far end from the shot raised my hands in celebration then frustration when 'Bang' some Millwall lout smacked me from behind right on my left ear, with the stars still in my head I turned toward where the thump came from to see a group of thugs in crombi coats snarling and growling ! A Millwall supporter in front of me saw what had happened and said to me "come on through here mate" and opened a way through for me to get away from the mob which I gladly did, better a live coward then a dead hero! Never have and never will go back to that Den of violent hatred. Wan*ers !

So you weren't around in the 70's then.
Whacking every away game, mostly from the police.

In all the years of watching the Albion I’ve never been whacked, I suppose it’s because I don’t go to a Wimpy often enough. After a Watford Cup game at Vicarage Road a policeman told me instead of going directly to my car (parked across the road) I had to go through the allotments which was the exit route for the away fans.

You could say I ended up with a cauliflower ear. Does that count?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

No in 45 years.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Lincoln City away (98?)

 

[Silverhatch]

Portman Road and Wembley Way - totally unprovoked; Smellhurst - not so much.

 

[Weststander]

No in 45 years.

Ditto - not in 45 years since my Jan’76 Goldstone first game.

The only near miss the April 78 Spuds game, in the NS. Some 20 something year old Spuds cowards thought they’d target us 13 year olds. My best friend was Spuds, brought up next to WHL until he moved here, so he could correctly answer their question about what road we lived at in Harringey.

No one believe the PPF et al lie that it was chivalrous, just firms against firms. Instead cowards who attacked kids, women, elderly, quite often by the old trick of a punch from behind.

Not whacked but hit just above the mince pie by a 50 pence piece from Man City fans. Who’d have thought they could just throw money away.

Never.
Came close away at Oxford in the late 80s but we just made it to the station before a small group of their lot.

 

[oldboyroy]

I saw through your story as soon as you mentioned that you were strolling along with some members of the Faces. If you had specified which ones your story might have had a bit more credibility, as long as you didn't include Rod amongst your contingent, especially in that get up...

 

[studio150]

Never, as you quickly get a sixth sense of a situation which could result in violence. I have been lucky on occasions, particularly the visit to Everton in the first year in Division 1 when every bus back to Lime Street had Everton supporters hitting almost everyone.
Also on visits to Millwall it has on several occasions taken me an hour to get back to my car due to the Police saying not to walk down a particular road. After the play-off second leg I had a bottle or two thrown in my direction from outside a pub, despite being on the other side of the road and walking alongside a Policeman.

Mine was outside a wimpy pompey away 85/86.hated em ever since.

What a traumatic experience.

There aren’t that many Wimpy’s left so your hatred of them is mostly irrelevant (assume you are a MaccyD fan now?) but you might want to conquer your fear of them and pop into the one in Portslade after lockdown?

 

[Originunknown]

A Man City neanderthal tried to kick me a few seasons ago, it was equal parts amusing and confusing. He was holding a carrier bag and was shit faced.

 

[Barham's tash]

Bristol Coty away in 2004. An uneventful 0-0 and took a very random smack to the chops less than 500 yards from the away end.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Two new threads posted by a new member of NSC on the same day? Both utter shit?

Calling [MENTION=616]Guinness Boy[/MENTION].

Is this the foolhardy return of one of the numpties you banned previously?

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

I literally got punched in the face while standing outside a pub after the Ron Challis game at Stamford Bridge
I was only 12 FFS,there was just me and a mate,we were too young to be allowed in the pub with the other Brighton fans

Scariest was probably Oldham 77ish,minibus got blocked in and attacked by a mob 100+,I was in the passenger seat, thank god I locked the door,the following weekend was the Spurs 3-1 game,crazy times
