Aldershot in the 1960's. Pitch looked like the River Adur at low tide and played like it as well.

10,000+ Albion fans in a 14,000+ crowd. Tedious 0-0 draw. 29,000 for the Goldstone Replay Round 2 of the FA Cup.

The 1970's visit was tame in comparison.

I think mine was around Easter 91. Bristol Rovers away when they played at Twerton Park. Won 3-1, and Codner missed a penalty even though they had a defender in goal.

Walker did dive for the penalty though

As a spotty 14 year old mine was Millwall away in the play-off semi in 1991. I went by myself on the jnr seagulls coach, didn't know anyone else who wanted to or was allowed to go. What a game to go to as your first away though, remember going ape when we scored with a couple of blokes next to me, and that the view was :censored: Was still a great night though :clap2:

Peterborough United FA Cup fifth round 1986 2-2 draw.

Ditto. British Rail were also doing some deal that month that meant all fares up to £12 were £4, all up to £20 were £8 or something like that. Anyway, by going from Hassocks to Haywards Heath or Gatwick it meant you could go to Peterboro for £4.80-odd. What a bargain. And with 4,000 fans crammed into that covered stand and a late equaliser, it was a true baptism into the awayday club. The famous red away strip, snowbound pitch, orange ball, Steve Jacobs...great memories.

away to LUTON @ KENILWORTH ROAD
Absolute Mayhem.

Malcom Mcdonald in a BMC 1100 with children was surrounded outside the ground and the car was violently rocked and nearly turned over.

Subsequently the "NORTH STAND" broke into the ground and ALEC STOCK personally, aided by a megaphone, tried to evict hundreds of baying ALBION fans.
The wanker failed.

These events then made the Sunday papers the next day.

Anyone remember these scenes?

I was waiting on the railway station when we heard it was full up at Chelsea. That was over an hour before the start.

Some kids got in (cause we wuz only young then), but they could not see a thing!
