Bizarre, recall that the celery thing originated with Man City fans. Presume it is now organic asparagus

The Chesterfield keeper was called Muggleton cueing lots of chants about Hermione Granger.

Brentford fans running on their pitch at FT after we’d lost and one pulled mooney at us slapping his arse. The indignity. All I could do was laugh. Circa early noughties.
Jock Riddell trying to wrestle the match ball of Gabbidinni after he got a hatrick for Darlington, whilst screaming we are ****ing skint!!
Another game at Priestfield when the steward sitting on a stool, got stuck on his arse after the match ball smashed all the legs away. He was about 20 stone and 65 years old. Probably my funniest memory at a game.

Not forgetting the gait of the St John’s ambulance guy running on the pitch at the Priestfield

Remember that although didn't know that was what he said. Around the same time, someone slagged off Andy Arnott (I think) for handballing and getting himself sent off, only to be offered out by the player's dad.

Absolutely, happened quite a bit. Was always possible but often came at a transfer cost. ( could be wrong but I recall 3p. ). It happened more at reserve games when the gates were open and there was no transfer charge.

In 1969-70 I'm pretty sure it was 5 shillings for the North Stand and 4 shillings for the East Terrace (adults) and therefore it must have been at least 1s to go through the transfer box at the top of the border between the north east terrace and the North Stand. I presume that all these prices were halved for children.

I've always thought Darlo was ****ing skint.

Doing National Service in1959, I was posted to a London transit depot. Decided to go and see Fulham as my idol Jimmy Langley played for them. In the ground on the river side was a large News of the World hoarding with about 3 fellows sitting on the top, so I joined them. At half time turned around to watch boats on the Thames. Going nicely was a rowing crew of 8, but coming the opposite way was a pleasure Steamer. Don’t need to explain further as you can guess what happened. 8 Very wet oarsmen.
Best half time entertainment I have ever seen.
Oddly enough they were in a much better position than us then.

For some reason I always remember a game on the terraces at Priestfield.
One of the opposition team had long dark hair, and a slightly swarthy complexion.
Every time he got the ball, a chorus of Red Indian hand-to-mouth whooping noises would break out among the Albion fans.
It was incredibly childish, but also incredibly funny.
Or maybe I'd just had one too many in The Cricketers that day...

Around 10-15 years back home match at Withdean, a very drab game (cant remember who we were playing). There was a pissed up bloke in H Block. Stewards gave him a talking to, asked him to calm down. After some minutes he started off again so the stewards came up to eject him, in the scuffle which ensued they ended up pulling the pissed-up bloke's false leg off.
