Really?? I’m wondering how you managed that, I had quite a few scary incidents, and believe me, I was a wimp and always did my best to stay out of trouble

Made in Bromley

It was my opinion that he should play them (so can neither be deemed right or wrong) and as I don’t know when AFCON starts I haven’t a clue as to when they have to join up with their relevant squads.

I can only summise that Luton probably stood their ground the previous season against Millwall, they had a tight little firm, the mig army i think, and wall wanted to take revenge.But no idea why it snowballed like it did, the train from st pancras had no seats, they piled us on mail trains, like wild animals, and they wern"t far wrong, as the night proved.Luton used to have some game locals who could be found in the snooker club, they were always up for it, with Millwall to. The arndale centre never fared well after a palace visit, it was at the bottom of a steep hill, and even with a police escort, the l;ines would give way, the 5000 odd palace would take would break free, and the Arndale centre was the victim , mad days.

They didn’t group together. A few fans from other clubs may have tagged along with Millwall mates, but the talk that these different mobs from other clubs were all joining up with Millwall is tosh. Yeah, Luton were a game little mob, but do you really think Millwall, in the mid 80’s, when we was probably at our worst, would need or want other London mobs to join them to take them on?? And talk of west ham being with Millwall that night (I’ve seen this mentioned at various times on social media) in an era when the violence between Millwall and West Ham was on an unprecedented level, is laughable.

Reading a lot of nonsense on this thread. It’s 2021 now. If you don’t want trouble you won’t get it. Going to be a great game and a great atmosphere. Looking forward to it

We always called him Willie Thorn and I remember him getting the hump and whacking some idiot with his brolly. Never understood how he got it in the ground but it did happen!

Spot on. The catalyst for the trouble was the overcrowding. But this never gets mentioned. All the focus was on the trouble and not the massively over crowded away end. How Luton never made this fixture all ticket is beyond me. It was a Hillsborough waiting to happened. Unfortunately the warning signs weren’t heeded and a few years later Hillsborough did actually happen.
