    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.

    Thing is mate we rarely missed a game back then the majority of the grounds I have done were done back then

    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

    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!

    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.

    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

    I think a red division of the 90s coach to a away game this season is required

    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.

    No teeth Bob was Paul Hawkins cousin.
