Not exactly 'firm' related, but the match at Chesterfield sticks in my mind, as it was pretty funny as well. I think we had 8000 at the match, as we would be promoted as champions, if we won. We drew.
People started going onto the pitch, and I think the the police thought people were off to congratulate the players. and didnt realise their mistake until quite a few had passed the players and were on their way to the Chesterfield home end. Chesterfield fans were fighting each other trying to get out of the stand.

Hard to tell from that photo which is over 30 years old, third left looks very familiar.
