[Albion] Trouble Sunday between fans

[Eeyore]

And, bizarrely, in 91 against Notts County.

My then girlfriend was a bit anxious about supposed football hooligans. I reassured her there wouldn't be any trouble and there was no real history between the two sets of fans, so she came along too.

After the miserable defeat, whilst we were sitting in the car in the main Wembley car park waiting to get away, it kicked off all around. One County fan got thrown and slid, Starsky and Hutch style, right across the bonnet of our car.

I remember that day for meeting a couple of friendly County fans, who I encountered later as our paths to away matches crossed again. They had girlfriends with them and as we were walking down Wembley Way I managed to throw up after some strong cider. Never have I felt so ashamed at a footie match.

"You're going home in a private ambulance!"

We have a winner !

Genuine LOL moment.

 

[Eeyore]

So have we

It's threads like this where I miss the input from @PPF

Do you mean PPF who also supports... Manchester United ?

Hardly the height of hooliganism, but I got called seaside shit by a County fan. Given that I was only 10 years old it seemed a bit harsh.

That's just rude

I'm heading for the Globe at Baker Street at 3pm for a scrap if you want to join, bring tools.

Someone will probably ask me to replace a toilet if I bring mine.

I'm heading there at the same time for a game of Petanque. I'll bring boules.

No nothing major. Trips like this are all colours and families and a bit of light hearted banter etc. And it’s Man Utd and there’s no bad feeling really.

It’ll be fine.

It was very lively the two games in 1983…

Yeh but that was the 80s David…!

 

[Weststander]

There should be quite a bit of trouble. Our top boys won’t take kindly to any liberties being taken.

My tools don’t work on Sundays mate.

This thread reminds me of shrubbery. Definitely feels like some kind of bush based vibes.

 

[Justice]

When is the last time anyone witnessed any real disorder between sets of supporters? 30 years ago?

Something something prawn wars.

I was on The Clifton coach from Worthing and anyone who was around in those days would have known how that ended. There were so many Utd scarbrs nicked that day that some BHA fans thought we were Mancs ourselves…….. strange when you look back to that custom of pinching rival fans scarves. I burnt mine on the way home.

If someone tries to pinch my scarf, I'll get Jnr to smack them on their head with his foam FA Cup or flick them in the eye with the bells on his jesters hat! I'd take them apart myself.... but he's taller than me & if I wore the hat the bells would probably only tickle their chin. I'll be disappointed if they don't provide flags in the stadium this time because then we'll have to travel back to Brighton with a load of p**sed off Man U supporters & we'll be unarmed.

I’m confused - Notts County match - Man Utd scarves?!

These days I'm more worried about trouble between De Zerbi and whoever is anywhere within 10ft of him on the touchline than I am worried about opposition fans. Absolutely love his passion but don't want him to be sent off too often.
