Lots of London games too :-o don't imagine many Chelsea or arsenal away season ticket holders are troublemakers though.

Indeed. I assume for some teams they'll consider the specials again. Straight to East Croydon for the scum, straight to Vic for Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham and Arsenal and off to Guildford via Reigate for Man U.

It was carnage after the Villa game I recall though I believe that was because Southern had cancelled trains around the 80th minute.

Without wishing to sound too smug I am very glad I can jump on the #23 after games and be dropped off almost to my door.

Lol. But seriously, unlikely I reckon due to the numbers; you'd need several trains for 3k away fans.

Just love this bit- its brilliantly written
"I looked around and the staff were conspicuous by their absence, so too were announcements, heaven help us. In fact, nothing was going to help us and, at the height of this debacle, an empty Southern train ponderously passed through Platform 4, and like a Brighton fan celebrating promotion, it taunted us, rather than stopping to relieve the chaos."
