The clue's in the "A" of AFC Bournemouth.

:lolol: our "arrogance" got under their skin, it worked.

At that time UEFA also acted against them after violence overseas. Didn’t they have to play a home European game at Plymouth behind closed doors?

That’s the one. Did someone fall through?

The thing about 76 to 79 was huge gates, up to 33k plus those Bamber/Calver didn’t record. Probably little police intelligence, rudimentary tactics (the truncheon). I remember seeing vast numbers of police minibuses in Hove Park, dozens of Norton bikes and the horses. Travelling support could...

Loved that.

After about 44 minutes I didn’t hear the stock dirge “Red Army” again.

My Dad and I used to park down towards Woolworths Blatchington Road, by a small office Europa House. A few times 76 to 79 we were walking back under the Conway Street tunnel when say 500 away fans would run down, followed by say 1,000 Albion. Huge numbers. Everyone took a left up those steps...

About 1978 I was in the NS, just 13 and passive, Millwall were the visitors. What did the NS hold at a packed game, 7,000? Out of nowhere about 10 Millwall fans kicked off. Older than Albion hooligans, mid 40’s, huge dockers I’m guessing. From what I could see the entire 7,000 were scared of...

Before my time, but that was it. The Plucky nsc’er who strangely disappeared about 2 years ago ???, was often rattling on about the day they beat Albion up in NS, made our fanbase run away and they kept it. Does that reflect the events? 51 years on I realise.

If their fan meant the entire Bmuff support (475 grandads and wallies), he’s lying. Or did he just mean his group? Until about 1977 you could literally wander round unless say Palarse or Millwall were visiting. There was no segregation fences or gates were wide open. There were few club...

As an easily distracted kid, I was doing that until about 1977. Including once having a nose around the main stand offices mid match. True story. Didn’t see a soul. Then segregation fences went up.

Don’t Weymouth and Dorchester hate each other?

The long term affection of the media towards us?

I recently noted that the population of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch is far greater than Shoreham to Brighton. Yes I know we also have a vast array of other Sussex town to ourselves. Yet so few people were ever interested in AFC Bournemouth. The opposite of Norwich and Ipswich where...

Any Southampton supporters? Before Bmuff cheated their way to the PL, I thought of Ringwood and Bmuff as part of Southampton’s catchment area.

That was what I meant to say. When in the same division Bmuff supporters can’t stand Stains. Brighton aren’t THE obsession of Bmuff’s fanbase. I do think it’s funny their long term obsession that we’re arrogant, Reading supporters say the same. I don’t take it as an insult and think it is...

I thought Bmuff and Stains hate each other.

Oh gaud, Reynolds told us last night to “Drink it in”. I loathe hype.
