Drink was the cause? Interesting that as I went to both matches and probably drank quite a lot of beer, I don’t recall myself trying to start of fight or indeed showing any aggression to anyone else.
Long shot here, perhaps the people that drink it are the cause.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied...
Middlesbrough c1989 was a bit choice. It was a midweek match so I made a rare coach trip which subsequently broke down on the M25 on the way back. Didn’t get home til mid morning. Hardly a long un but one that’s just come to mind.
Off the top of my head, Chester 88.
On the way home we stopped off at the evening kickoff between Stockport and Cambridge.
We all had work the next morning but were somehow puzzled how a train from Stockport at 1030pm on a Bank Holiday Monday couldn’t get us back to Brighton by about 1 a.m
I’m looking forward to the away game. I can stay in Newcastle for the weekend, doing a day-trip to nearby Sunderland (which isn’t nearly as bad as people say). The 50000 stadium should be great (never been there). I don’t like to be nasty about northern places and I thought Sheffield was alright...
