i never forget bristol skip away.5 of us travelled down from glos in a mini metro armed with 4 dust bin bags of hole punch.colin the owner of the car started getting a bit chopsy next thing you no one black bag of hole punch all inside the metro.managed to get the other 3 bags in to ashton gate.and some theiving bastard knicked are brand new flag
I remember Chris B cashing in on the Beenie Hat phase on the North Stand at Upton Park, how the feck they let him in with 2 black bin bags fall of them. He sold about 20 of 300 as I remember!
I must have been on nodding terms at least with some on here back then. And to think, twenty years later we're discussing favourite hot beverages and pigeon racing lol ffs, where does time go?
birmingham away last game of the season when they needed to win to avoid the drop, their goal was offside by about 15 yards, i was not complaining though as it was the only way we were going to get out alive!
Carlisle away last season the closest to an old school away day if I could change one thing it would be to bring football back to that proper proper sat and midweek enjoyment
Went arse over tit on the terrace celebrating Robson's goal and caught someone's knee in my mouth, split my lip. Remember someone dragging me to my feet and then just carrying on dancing.
anyone remember reading away in the jolly wagner pub that was scary
Wasn't there but heard it was squeaky bum time from Vince the week after on the train from London Bridge. Funnily enough I bumped into him at Hillsborough before Christmas and spoke about it then.

Bit of a long shot but does anyone remember a couple called Chris and Louise? Can't remember their surname but he was loud and had that original skinhead look going on and she had red hair. Or a guy called Lester Ford from Ladywell? He had long hair.
Remember playing a game against Lester's sunday team, the fella on our team who had never scored, scored, and there was a big bundle. All of a sudden Lester run about 30 yards and dived on top of the bundle. His team mates weren't impressed.
Last saw him at a midweek away up at West Brom when we won 1-0.
Got saved a kicking out in Magaluf by a group of Baby Squad by the fact their main lump did England away trips with Lester. Long story
Good guy was Lester, kipped on his sofa a couple of times. Remember him showing me a video of a BBC news story reporting some trouble at an England away. And there he was, face down on the pavement, smiling for the camera.
remember the leicester game well,kicked off late as they spilled on the pitch,i was in the bar with paul gorman avvin a bet saw there was people on the pitch so quickly ran back and ordered another pint (if my memory serves me right).was also at bristol city,great day where even my old man had a row,hes 76 now.used to go to selhurst but when we went to upton park we all knew there was light at the end of the tunnel but there was still some very nervy moments until our return.I reckon the biggest moaner in them days was dear old wally (rip) a lovely man.
Coulsdon, does 'Gary Speed' ever go anymore ? Not seen for a while
