A game in the mid/late seventies at home to Newcastle on a freezing cold saturday afternoon. A load of Geordies in black/white tartan kilts, hobnailed boots and no shirts gathered at the top of the holmesdale terrace. Firstly they unleashed a torrent of p1ss down the steps then a few of our boys from the surrey street market took them on. It was fantastic to watch, a bit like the 300 spartans film. Next police and horses came on the scene and both sides united to fight them off. I can't remember the score... it must be in the archives, but I spent most of the match watching the fights, it was spellbinding.

If its the game i remember it was the last game of the season 81/82 and we lost 2-1. I remember a well known face at the time having a row with a geordie on the pitch at the end of the game and then a copper caught him and he got away only for a c*** of a steward to trip him up with a corner flag.

I've looked it up..... the game I was on about was 2nd December 1978 in the old 2nd division, this was our promotion season. It was absolutely freezing cold. I think the geordies caused a lot of aggro wherever they went in those days, so not surprised it kicked off in the game you remember at the end of the season in 81/82.

Edited by Barcelona Based Fan (12 Oct 2011 1.21pm) I remember Tottenham coming to Selhurst for a tuesday night match. They were all over the Holmsdale and no one was really sure who was who. There were a lot more of them than us though! I also remember a tuesday night against Millwall and the police had dogs by the turnstiles to get into the Holmesdale. One Millwall fan put his face right up to the police dog and snarled at it. The dog backed off! On the way to Selhurst station after the game they put the windows in of nearly all the houses on Holmesdale Road from the ground down past the Clifton Arms. It was exciting back then as a youngster, it would scare the sh1t out of me now.
