Mr. Chow Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Birmingham away, can’t remember the year but when it used to be segregated by a white wall either side of the away fans exit. Just remember everything and anything getting chucked over the top of fence. Eventually you could filter out into Birmingham but that was another adventure. Was followed in towards their centre heading towards the bull ring. Luckily enough there was a lot of Wednesday fans that joined a small group and we managed to out number the brummies. Was a top class weekend tbh in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughdowd Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Southend away … late 70s/ early 80s….. not Southend fans ….

Devonstrix Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Yep, Birmingham away in 1985. We won 2-0 and afterwards a large group of Wednesday fans were ambushed on the way to New Street. 'Sheffield scum get out of Brum' was the tuneful little ditty a group of about two hundred of em serenaded us with, as well as some broken house bricks from a nearby demolition site. Old Bill nowhere to be seen of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was crapping myself so gave him a fake name-Dorian, a name I’ve always admired despite it being a bit girly. He lets me go but then my phone rang! Millwall fan goes to me “give me your phone” and he’s trying to catch me out, he answers phone and goes “who are you looking for”. I was thinking if they say Ellis Rimmer I am truly a goner. Luckily it’s my best friend who i once told I like the name Dorian to and he said “I am looking for Dorian” and so Millwall left me to go on my way. I can vouch for this he was almost crying on the phone 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the one that didn’t get its windows put through. I nearly got a brick on my head getting back to the coach though. Coach was bricked by Leicester on the way home as well as debris being launched after the game. West Ham away got naughty, no bricks though, well not what I saw.

Marro Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 It would have to be the first football match I took the wife to. I took her to Rome on our wedding anniversary. Romance was in the air and then I decided to buy some dodgy tickets to see Lazio v Roma. We ended up near the Lazio ultras. Total nutters and chanted vociferously all match. Police stayed outside the ground all match. My wife has not been to a football match since and isn’t keen! I loved it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Fleming Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Newcastle away 84, a crucial win for Wednesday and all the coaches went back through Newcastle town centre. We drove past thousands lining the street with bricks flying everywhere and blokes well into their 70s giving us the reverse Churchill sign. Great days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
