[Albion] Whats the game you was shit scared the most?

[Sirnormangall]

Most of the above plus Shrewsbury away in the 70s - yes, embarrassing I know, Shrewsbury. But we were young and outnumbered…and very drunk

They tried to get in to The Concorde as well. It was the usual Friday night Reggae do, and all was well until about twenty Spurs fans appeared at the door and started their Barmy Tottenham Army song. They'd already grabbed hold of the Bouncer and threw him on to Madeira Drive. What happened next was wonderful. Every person in there downed their drinks and hurled their empty glasses- dozens of them, towards the mob. That did the trick! Off they ran to the sound of Police sirens, and mysteriously dissipated in to the night.

The band in the Hungry Years was the Dodgems, friend of mine in that band too. Only one entrance and exit didn’t help. Worst away games include PNE and Sheff Utd in late 70s

Was at that, Mick Ferguson rounded the keeper and put it in for a 1-0!.
Wasn't many of us in the corner that day and like you say, they hadn't lost at home for ages and we had them both sides of the fences next to us.Trust Ferguson to find his shooting boots that day

That was my exact sentiments for that day. Now that was an intimidating atmosphere if ever I'd seen one. Cutthroat signs from their boys on the other side of the fence all the game, they weren't even looking at game. Glad I was there though. P.s the train going home when the old bill were saying duck and the windows got shattered, they were actually running down the platform on other side still lobbing stuff as the train was moving. Happy days

 

[rebel51]

Yep, I'm sure I can also remember the home fans setting fire to stuff on the terraces

That was the playoffs I think

ah might have mixed them up

How the hell did you managed to get strip searched at a station!?

You know what I mean. Unlike todays searches where a guy waves a wand at you and another pats you down, these searches were thorough with hands in pockets, all the way up the inside leg and outer garments removed.
Millwall. Another 70's game (I do wonder how I made the 80's). They completely took apart an unused scaffold TV camera unit, throwing the poles at their own fans.
Anyone remember Blackpool? Seagull Special pulls into the station and we're escorted down to the seafront as a group and along the front to the ground. I dropped off the back after a while and dived into a pub. Sure that by the time the escort arrived at the ground the police had about 10 fans left. "Where'd they all go". Teddy Maybank scored.

Sorry didn’t know what you mean - when you said ‘strip searched’ I assume you meant just that!

Millwall '85 when Ferguson scored. They had been undefeated at home for over a year and

They also broke down a wall outside the ground so the could throw bricks at us! I was only 17 and that day was a proper experience.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Millwall at The Goldstone in 1977, I think Millwall had recently been on the Panorama documentary and turned up wearing surgical masks. The police put them in the West Stand terrace next to the tunnel.
I was with my dad in the North Stand but I spent most of the match watching the Millwall fans.

Millwall were all around the Goldstone that day, but the North Stand stood their ground and gave as good as they got.

I was there with my future missus. You had to walk down that horrible alley to get to the away section. I remember them fighting with themselves in the cage behind the goal. The only people who looked more scared than the Brighton fans were the coppers.Didn't care though, we won!

First away game with my mates at West Ham 79 age 15, followed to the turnstiles from the tube and threatened. Segregation inside the South Bank was a bit of police incident tape with skinheads running around trying to id away fans. Not much fun, probably 0-0 a blessing.

Leeds away 82, at HT we were relegating them and some Brighton fans (not me) were happy that they scored twice and we could get out alive. Only a couple of hundred of us there, including @El Presidente . Midweek, Leeds went to West Brom, got relegated and smashed the place up.

More recently, one stop East Croydon-Norwood when my son and I got separated from other Albion and there were some unpleasant locals. Probably most scared I've ever been just because my lad was at risk.

Have always had a nose to stay out of trouble. You developed a 6th sense. You had to.

Plenty of moments at many aways, a few at the Goldstone, but never actually came to much harm personally. Remember thinking I was about to get a kicking when I went down on Old Shoreham Rd, in a fracas v Arsenal after a cup game at home late 80's, but they went for others still standing. Meandered back to Hove station on my own, having lost my mates, to find it had been set alight, and coppers were smashing windows on cars with their truncheons to get in to them and push them out the way of the incoming fire engine.

I was at the Millwall game too. Think they were unbeated at home for about a year. Remember Ferguson picking up the ball on the half way line, trunding forwards aimlessly as their defence parted and then scuffing a shot which deceived the keeper with its unexpected lack of pace. Also remember when we got on the train back, semi accompanied by police who got off at the next stop. A load of Millwall then jumped out of the train onto the track, picked up the stones from the track and smashed every window indiscriminately.

Leeds in '82 was potentially nasty, especially when Robinson scored and ran over to their Kop and gave them the thumbs down 'you're being relegated' signal.
