Anyone remember the Leeds United game at the goldstone where I think Leeds were losing and this random bloke got changed down they front of the north east pen into a full Leeds kit and started to do all sorts of warming up exercises and the Leeds fans were having a whale of a time egging him on.
It was in the days of the razor wire around the pen( how dangerous was that!!!) and if the fences would have not have been there, I am sure he would have got on the pitch.
....also the arsenal game. Not the first game in the first division....but we were in the chicken run, when it all kicked off in the north stand with these **** off huge arsenal skin heads piling into brighton fans making a hasty retreat....anyway, my mates stood around were egging on the brighton fans telling them to " stand their gound" etc...when I heard scuffling behind us and there was about 50 + arsenal hoolies running along the walkway behind us trying to get to the north stand. Suffice it to say there was a lot of shhhh ing and they dashed passed us. That could have got very nasty indeed!
Talking about arsenal fans, I went with Huddersfield to a cup game one evening at highbury! We were in the clock end and a train load of Huddersfield fans arrived and were being escorted along the front of the clock end down the bottom and all hell broke loose with arsenal fans changing down the front and having a go at the town fans.....unbeknown that the rest of the town fans had been led in at the back of the stand and they charged down the front. It was like something out of charge of the light brigade. Due to the trouble in that game, we only ended up watching about 10 minutes of the game ...the rest of it was dodging these maniacs from both sides just wanting to kill eachother. I didn't realise that there was a feud between town and arsenal...but it all resurfaced three years ago in the cup at the emirates!
