[Albion] Trouble Sunday between fans

[Justice]

I used to go to a lot of away games. The closest I saw in the last 25 years was at Cheaterfraud and Ninian Park, but on both occasions it was one twat with his mates randomly punching (i) someone with their kid then running away (ii) someone wearing a Brighton shirt (what they call, in Cardiff a 'scarfer', and apparently it was considered inappropriate to hit a 'scarfer', according to an apologetic Cardiff chap who came on NSC, wringing his tiny hands) then running away. But that is hardly 'real disorder'.

There was a planned meeting between chaps of Brighton and Palace at a major station in London 10 or so years ago, but I am not aware that the planning came to fruition.

Also my old school mate Neil had an altercation at Southend, but I seem to recall that he violently assaulted a bin, and I'm not sure that counts.

Someone posted that PPF and his gang of hitler youth were in combat mode at the famous great escape match, owing to a certain discontent among some Hereford youth that apparently required 'sorting', but the thought of someone, probably well into his 30s by then, and a gaggle of spotty teenagers, wind-milling, fills me more with pity than much else.

I don't recall dozens of yoof running about in 1970s stylee, with more engagement than simply variations of the 'hold me back' dance since, er the 1970s (but I missed the 80s and early 90s owing to being otherwise engaged/employed or overseas).

Was it all a myth? If only we had a committed participant here to explain it all to us.

That meet was after the Wolves away game we came across some knuckle dragging Palace at Victoria one palace guy with his wife and kid in tow was literally foaming at the mouth, his wife held him back on that occasion

 

[Dr Bandler]

It wasn’t all one way trust me though origigull

At the replay I remember some gentlemen from mid-Sussex pushing past me to climb into the next section to have a pop at the Man U there. There were so many in our end that day, it was inevitable.

 

[chickens]

I'm heading for the Globe at Baker Street at 3pm for a scrap if you want to join, bring tools.

We don’t want a no holds barred free-for-all Jack.

I’ll bring rules.

Much later than the 70s, Harry, trips to places like Cardiff, Leeds and Millwall have retained the ability to be, ahem, scary. Cardiff has been foul until recent years, but not as bad as the 70s and 80s, when I was happy to leave in one piece. Anyone remember the Seagulls Special being attacked there? 1978 or 9?

There is a huge difference between scary and a proper punch up. I say this as a determined avoider of punch ups. I think we are in agreement that things have changed for the better.

Remember a little to do just outside Victoria in 83 when some Mancs decided to throw bottles and glasses. Got chased off but the police dogs had a field day in their quest for blood

I fancy ordering off The Globe’s new French menu on Sunday but they’ve always got one key ingredient missing.I’ll bring Moules

That could be 2012 @ Kings Cross, there is a video on YouTube somewhere (to be honest, I thought it was earlier maybe when I still lived near there 2008 or 2009, but it says 2012 on the video) Palace were in the that shitty football pub (I think it gone now, Kings Cross has become gentrified) at the bottom of Caledonian Road, near the Scala. Went on for a while and Palace did take a battering to be honest, until the police turned up.

I’ve watched Brighton since 1988 and been to a lot is away games over the years. All that comes to mind is Canvey Island and Pompey at the Goldstone, both in the FA Cup. I don’t think qualify as ‘real disorder’.

Crawley in FA Cup at Goldstone some disorder there though more 'crowd'(ing) control perhaps

More so at the first game.

I know, but the poster referenced damage in a thread about fans fighting. Their bad!

Loads went over to the bottom tier 1st game then charged out at the start of the 2nd half

2013 so close enough

Never seen any trouble at the Man Utd games at the Amex in recent seasons, other than the odd dickhead on both sides I wouldn't expect there to be any aggro

This.

I mean, when was there last any serious trouble at Wembley?

Probably Millwall at Wembley a few years back.

Euros final?

 

[Dave the OAP]

It was a very different world back then; I know some people on here miss the "good old days" when getting punched in the mouth while wearing an expensive golf sweater was all part of the football experience, but those days are long gone. Remembering some of stuff I saw and was involved in I have to question the sanity of anyone who is sentimental about it...

Not sure that is aimed at me.
