I can remember that Liverpool experience as if it was yesterday!!! Frantically running across Stanley Park and making the executive decision that being in the Kop was a more preferable option than being chased all the way back to the coaches at the end of the game!!! Closely followed by the ambush at Stoke as we left the ground! Those are priceless memories.

Old soldiers 'look back fondly'at war memories,does that make them idiots!.I was at many of the games mentioned as a youngster (11 at Chelsea 76') and it's been a great trip down memory lane reading these stories.this thread is not about morals,just memories. Well said jamwom. We all do stupid stuff when we're too young to know better, doesn't mean we can't look back with a chuckle does it? "You can feel the stadium jumping.

No trouble at all our end at full time. Did you go by train? Probably left by a different entrance to us where their mob was waiting. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

Most of it was just stupid bravado and lots of shouting. surging and wind-milling from memory. The other bit was sometimes sickening violence and way way over the top. Darts, Stanley knives, etc. Usually scousers though the ICF did knife an Arsenal fan to death in the tube one Saturday afternoon. Some took it just too seriously. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

I remember leaving the Botham End and yes I think the train travelers (which I was on) and coaches went in different directions. We passed a grave yard where Stoke fans were hiding and waiting for us (sounds so funny now!!!). There were no police around and I had no wish to ruin my planned night out back in London so it was a head down and run to the station whilst a few brave souls decided to engage!!!! It was 30+ years ago but that's what my memory remembers!!!

Little did we all know it was gonna get worse, what with mullery, crowds down to 5 grand at home and fighting relegation for the next 3 seasons to Divison 3. Is elsie still in oz?
