Leeds away in the fa cup, I think Nelson put us 1 up and we were still celebrating when Leeds equalised. Both goals came late, Leeds then beat us in the replay at the valley. I was at the back of the south stand with 2,000 Leeds coming at us from the bottom half of the stand.
When we all used sing if your going (Barnsley) clap your hands. Everyone did and they would al be at Barnsley the next week. Talking of Barnsley away who remembers ( its freezing cold and we hate Barnsley) Im sure we done the conga that day too.
Mark D***tt was also the best one for getting nicked d&d. Always had a stupid ritual of buying two pints and downing one, then was out of it after about two hours. Would either get nicked or fall asleep in the pub, there was never a middle ground.
Remember a post match party at his house where he poked a cigarette in his own eye, and @Swerve had to take him to hospital I think.
Was it Mark that got nicked after Bristol Rovers along with Taz the yid.The old bill giving us all a section 5 warning. (If we lose if we fail take it out on british rail). lol we really were the RD of our day.
Great thread foghorn, great memories. Nothing seemed to matter, win lose or draw we would be back the following week. Loved it on the terraces at upton park, leicester at home was mental, scoring another goal while your still celebrating the last one should carry a health warning!
It was cheaper to go by coach as the club muscled in by offering cheaper coach travel than the supporters club who in turn undercut the club. Grimsby away was about £5 on the coach. Bloody cold Grimsby!
The Selhurst years sum it up after most home games i would hear. We are rubbish im not coming next week. The next week would come round and they would all be there. Remember at selhurst i think it was sheff wed they climbed the floodlight and jumped into the cafc end anyone else remember that?
We had an all ticket game at Filbert St and PC Rogers was selling tickets outside when Leaburn scored the equalizer in the 89th minute a certain individual got nicked for running on the pitch and he got his ticket off Rogers
I got on the pitch when he scored too. Didn't get my ticket off Rogers but he had a laugh with me on the station after, told me didn't think i could run that fast. Funnily enough Leaburn's a security guard at my place and i was telling a couple of the guys about this incident yesterday.
Ha, grimsby away on the coach, bottle of thunderbirds at the back of the coach
Remember the Grimsby game we couldnt sit at the back of the coach because the big boys were on it. They had to share there beers out so there was none left on board when we arrived. One pissed in a bottle and as we were getting off to rob the services he asked me to hold the bottle for him. It scarred me for life.lol I told him this story years later and he cracked up he also hit a grimsby fan on the way out of the game. Great days.
If you were lucky you won the football scratch card on the coach and got a few xtra quid
I remember winning 80 quid on the fruit machine in the catholic club in woolwich before brissle city away and thinking tomorrow will be mental
It didnt let me down
This reminds me why i was so pissed that i got on the pitch at leicester. Was in the pub across the station with tavern and a couple of others and won a load of money on the fruitie. Spent it all on double vodkas / brandies.
The we dont need no lennie lawrence song just after he left , the discussion on here the other week was if it was blackburn or barnsley away we first made it up
Great great days
Remember being at the back of upton park saying
We washed half of eddies hair in beans the other in head and shoulders
Just before he would do the smelly eddie
I am litterally crying now thinking of this
Erol and pat sharp my good god
There was a bloke with no teeth bob was it
Then there was alan (i think used to come witb his old man)
And every so often a skinny bloke from down cornwall way would appear
Remember west brom away. pouring down with rain. loads of us in the sheep pen with no tops on. we lost 2 nil. come out the ground singing we are so shit it unbelievable. when a copper kicked me up the ass. for singing unbelievable

Sweden was the game where the guy blew the whistle on top of the England tent Wernt it when it all kicked off
Im sure we done the conga that day too.
It was cheaper but I certainly didn't have shit loads of dough to get about but always made it some how
The standard robbing of the service station on way there and home ensured you ate on away days even If it was grub you wouldn't normally eat
The cheap Rola cola filled with booze
Ensured you were merry
I really miss those days now
I told him this story years later and he cracked up he also hit a grimsby fan on the way out of the game. Great days.

Would be brilliant to do it
You would all have to sneak booze the way we used to using the same ingrediants
Cocapina with gin
Rola cola and malibu
Orangeade and vodka
Used to buy it friday for drinking on rte to games sat
Great great days
