had a few dodgy ones over the years,but mine is f***ing oldham of all places,78/79 april time,got caught by there mob in a mini bus,thankfully it was a panelled one,kicked the f*** out of it,tried rocking it over and some hairy **** was trying his hardest to prise the passenger door open,where i was sitting

anyway my uncle who was driving,decided to go for it,some muppet tried to stop us,but we caught him with the left hand side of the van,spinning round like a whirling dervish he was,a solitary copper trying to get through the mob just shrugged his shoulders,as if to say,get the f*** out of here

funny thing is around 12 years later,started seeing a bird from oldham of all places(well middleton,for those who know greater manchester) and when i went up there i couldn't meet a nicer bunch of people,never bought a drink all weekend

Chesterfield in 2000/01. Day started off well as I saw the team on their pre-match walkabout, gave them a hoot. Really excited for the day. Then it went downhill...
Such a shit place and a horrible ground. Then to have Charlie sent off for nothing, couldn't believe it. We had such good support that day, on the terraces and the wooden seats.
Holding on for a good point until they scored in the last minute, I'll always remember that. . Walked out of the ground to see fighting all around me. Some bloke punching another guy who then said "Stop. I'm Brighton" then the other guy said "So am I" . Then there was more violence, and I got thrown over a wall.
Horrible day.
Didn't go to Palace (5-0) but that will be the general consensus.

Kingstonian, crap game, crap score, crap cops taking a truncheon to a disabled Albion fan at the final whistle, two crap Brighton fans shouting racist abuse at their players...some of ours were black too you stupid twats.

Man City away with West Ham 07/08 I think it was... paid for hotel, petrol, two nights food and drink; lost 3-0. It's not all about the result but it was generally just a shit trip

Northampton away in FA Cup 1987/88. It was all ticket and we sold out our end. Being a lemon I left mine at home so went in the Northampton end. We won 2-1 and I was rumbled when we scored the winner and took a few blows. It then kicked off big time after the game.

It was raining too. I took my 7 year old daughter to that game yet she still had the courage to come to a few more after that!

Did they walk across the pitch giving it large that day after the whistle ?
cricket pitch off to our left ? or does my memory fail me?

Scarborough away. My car ran out of oil and died on the motorway on the way up, and I needed a new engine (and new oil indicator lamp).

Also Finland vs England, when we ended up getting stranded in Helsinki and spent the best part of a day in a forest in the middle of nowhere, waiting for a flight back.

Can't remember that, but it was pretty chaotic in the town centre beforehand...at least for those who weren't put on buses at the station and taken away against their will until kick-off.

Was the usual away end a silly fenced in pen on the right hand side ?looking up the pitch from the stand behind the goal that we took over as it was a cup game ?
