    At least he was wearing underpants. I was on that Bridgend bus he mentioned in the original post. He says there was a lot of noise at the back of the bus but we were playing chess and the only sound was that of the chess pieces being moved around. Sludge was totally pissed even before he got on the bus. It wasn't long before he took off all his clothes and started talking to himself. He then started screaming that he couldn't hear the voices in his head because of all the noise we were making - i.e. the occasional movement of one chess piece from one square to another. The next thing he charges down the bus swinging a bottle of Buckfast over his head. We all moved out of the way and he went straight out the back window. We just shook our heads and carried on with our chess. It was the best argument for a minimum alcohol price I'd ever seen.

    Getting back to the station after the game was just as interesting , definitely in my top three of scariest away trips.

    Gigg Lane, Bury v City 1990. We lost 2-0 and got relegated. I was 12 and was stood amongst all the oxygen thieves who thought it would be good to throw bricks through the windows of the houses behind the ground. Scared the shit out of me, I think it might even have been my last away game (other than the Wembley matches), and I really have no interest in going away again, even 28 years later.

    I went to that game. Horrible trip up in the back of a van, no seats.
    I remember after the game like it was yesterday, my mate said cross the road & seconds later we heard all the windows of peoples front rooms going through.

    The bad old days.
