I was at that one. Only 16. Even so the most scared ive ever been at a football match to this day. I include Millwall away night match in that aswell. Came out the ground to witness around 500 lads at it in front of me. Fucking bedlam.

It was a tad interesting wasn’t it
Hopefully much better nowadays for those going down as I watch from the relative safety of my recliner here in North Georgia :-)

I still shiver from memories of a trip to Cardiff City in the FA Cup back in 1967. Ninian Park was packed and the crowd had got to Alan Ogley in goals after he fluffed a goal kick. He was a bag of nerves and kept on messing up goal kicks. Somehow City came through to draw with the aid of an own goal and won the replay with ease at Maine Road.

Yep, same day as Franny Lee announced as our new owner and Keith Curle's shite penalty and kicked off with their neanderthals.

And a wrongly disallowed goal IIRC but yes getting back to the station was a bit hairy. They all came out of the woodwork for the Cup tie as we went there a couple of times in the 80s and the "crowd" struggled to make 10,000.

Cardiff away was a nightmare back n the day but so were most grounds. The rags got smashed there when they played in the then second division when they got relegated.

Kicked off big time!! It was mayhem from the min we arrived

Probably the scariest away trip I did, laughing at the shit ground with my mates, on,y a brick wall for a toilet etc... and then amazed when 3 sides of the ground started jumping up and down patting their heads in unison doing that Ayatollah thing, then even though the fucktards won they tried to kick the shit out of us as we left.

Booked travelodge in the centre £35 didn't fancy driving back straight after

The welcome was significantly nicer when we played there in the Prem a couple of years ago, but the post-match civilised behaviour might have been a result of them winning.

More to the point we are gonna have to listen to wanker drone on about our money and how he hates the prem blah blah
