Worst Trouble??

[wehatepalace]

honest as they come mate.

Unless there were a load of scarfers hiding out the back when we left either that or your landlord mate is talking you palace boys up !

 

[SurreySeagulls]

You were in the Crescent opposite, attacking the Cambridge was not a good idea that night, your lot ran back, locked the door and hid under tables by all accounts!

No way they could have hid under tables as the tables where outside in road, almost like they were ready to eat alfresco

Aldershot away, fa cup, few Brighton having it with the local shots firm, then out of no where a coach load of scoomers arrived, poor aldershot didnt know what hit em

Cambridge lads don`t need talking up. I think it was a good running battle. I don`t drink in either Pub and was pleased to be well away from the bother. Family man you see.

If I remember rightly you were having tea and crumpet at your Aunt Dots in Waddon when this kerfuffle occurred.

I was, but she steamed out as soon as she heard it had kicked off and your boys run as she hurtled rock cakes at you.

And she is a fearsome lady by all acounts. I heard that she mixed it with Milwall's top firm and had them on thier toes with some home made apple crumble spread all over thier Burberry tank tops!

She will av it with the best. She`ll run West Ham with a Blackberry tart and stare out Tottenham with her mean looking Mince Pies.

there would be no point asking the cardinal of any memories he may have,
My best one has to be at the centenary dinner at the Brighton Centre, you lot had left him, so i was left holding up the great one, then a certain peter ward came over, at that point the cardinal decided to collapse and nearly flattened the very scared wardy, who very quickly left. then trying to get cardianal into back of that car outside the centre, must of had hundreds of people watching us.

It was Liz who went to get her car. The queue of people at the bottom of West Street watched in fits of laughter as we tried to get him into the back seats! It was just as much fun at the other end trying to get him into his flat. Luckily he lives on the ground floor so only a few steps up!

That also reminds me of the time he failed to make Bristol City away as he locked himself in his flat!!!!

He is a Legend

Kingstonian away in the cup in the mid-late 90s was a bit tasty, although all Albion driven - the concrete perimeter wall being dismantled and lobbed onto the pitch by Albion fans in the face of our cup exit. Some very heavy handed policing involving the batoning of kids in our end.

Really? I was there and don't recall any hassle.

I would Argue that Arsenal never ran amok in or out of the Goldstome. In comparison to the ugly mobs referred to in the same post they did not even merit a mention. Our friends from Croydon caused more problem than Arsenal.

Probably agree with that, though they did turn up very early for a league cup game in 79 & took a 1/2 empty north stand.

AND they were on their toes across Hove park quicker than Carl Lewis after the 88 FA Cup match!

 

[Brovion]

I have to say I don't recall Arsenal 'taking' the North Stand although there WAS trouble. For me the worst two home games were Spurs and West Ham. Spurs the year we didn't go up where they came down in numbers the night before. They DID take the North Stand and quite easily too. The trouble went on all through the match and at one stage the ref took the players off. We did win 3-1 though

I think the West Ham game may have been next season but they gave us a good pasting as well, in fact I think I might have had the dubious privilge of being thumped by Cas Pennant! Palace were nothing in comparsion.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

i seem to recall peterborough away got a bit naughty on one occasion

buggered if i can remember the year though, must have been in the 80's

is that the 1 opposite with palace and proud on the front wall

 

[Mr Banana]

Preston-Burnley used to be fun when I lived up there. The pub me and a couple of others were quietly watching Soccer Saturday in got the worst glassing I've ever seen. We thought we were weathering it quite well but then a friend of mine decided to leap in the air and party like it was the proverbial 1999 because he'd still got enough of a view of the screen to notice his beloved Bury had scored a goal. Cue blood all round.

I remember them taking the North Stand at a midweek game (League Cup, first season in the First Division?) and seeing people climbing the fences on the right hand side to get away from it. In fairness, it was a case of twats against boys as they had no qualms about hitting schoolkids

Chelsea was probably the worst I've seen although Portsmouth games were always interesting.

Arsenal, the game where they raided the North Stand was a mid week league cup game. The police, never that 'up' on things used to apply the strict line of questioning of "where do you come from?" for entry to the ground. Somehow they didn't twig that, in those days, there were very few coloured Albion supporters.

The police had deployed almost all their resources outside the ground, imposing this segregation. It was obvious to any local entering the North Stand that the place had a fairly large Arsenal contingent. I even mentioned this to one of the few OB.

Sure enough, just a few mins before KO it kicked off and the PA man (Tony Millard?) had to appeal for police outside the ground to come in!

Millwall. The 3-2 game was our 1st home game of 76/77. The 'Wall fans had surgical blue masks but the police managed to enforce segregation pretty well.

Losing 2-0 at half time I thought we had at least avoided some trouble...except we came back to win 3-2!

77/78 - my first game without adult supervision.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Of course, i stand corrected. 76/77 was the start of great times and promotion.
