Newport county fa cup years ago
Never seen so many nutters in my life
Train to Newport, bedlam all the way to the ground
Bedlam in the ground , city fans using bolt cutters to dismantle a fence the newport county chairman said was unbreakable
Wide scale disturbances on the walk back to newport station
Entire carriage next to us on the first special completely wrecked , all occupants arrested and taken to police cells across south wales
Bloody bedlam
Gloucester city away in the fa cup was hair raising too , that poor little town didn't know what hit it that night
Genuinely felt sorry for the locals and the police on duty trying to control our bunch , it was like something out of the wild west
What about that time the Exeter massive ran you all over town?
Leeds 4-1 Cardiff (FA Cup)
4th January 1975
Football Special
The county fan got stabbed in a random attack by a group of cardiff casuals at around that time but it wasnt at the game , it was part of a tit for tat feud between cardiff and newport that was going on at the time
It was 87 88 I think , Scott Morris rescued us in the first tie and won it for us in the replay
Millwall away mid 70's, my best mate who was a Londoner said we could go and meet his old mates, with friends like that who needs enemies? We were a scared pair of schoolkids on a day that left me mentally scarred for the next few years.
Peterborough last away game of season. Arrested for trying to enter a sports ground while under the influence of alcohol. Banned from every ground in the country for 6 months. I didn't even do anything. I was asked by a copper outside the ground where I was going, when I said to the match he dragged me into a police van and I was taken to Peterborough magistrates Court prison until I missed my last train in the evening.
Only 15 at the time.
All I remember was rubble either side of the main road. Demolished buildings.
Lumps of concrete, bricks flying through the night air.
We were on the open end at Elland Road (think they were building a new stand).
All I remember of the match was Dwyer really getting stuck in to Norman Hunter, a tackle that made even Cardiff fans wince.
Found a copper with his dog and stayed as close as possible after the match to get back to the station.
One of life's experiences.
West Ham in the cup a few years later was even worse.
Was on Frankie's coach from Barry.
