First time I experienced sharpened coins was a very early 70s home game against Leicester, they brought a massive mob of skinheads (including a load of scary looking lasses) who took the piss all over the ground; to add insult to injury they also kept the St John Ambulance guys busy all match dealing with coin cuts to heads.
Every ****er looked scary during the skinhead period.I have to admit I was fascinated by the movement in general and became one.There's a bunch of them congregate up the top end of Sauchiehall St most Saturdays(Girls and boys) and they are so stylish and it's nice to see it in a peaceful form.I wear Trojan polo shirts quite a lot and they've commented on it on many occasions,they're a decent bunch of people to be fair.

The origins of the skinhead movement was really interesting and I'd recommend 'Don Letts' video on it(The story of skinhead) to anyone who hasn't already seen it.Of course when the image became involved with football it became a far less peaceful sign but the clothing was mesmerising...
 
You want me to shove a brush up my backside and sweep the ‘terraces’ too?
As well as my undercover mission on the concourse, I was on Shota watch, with the direction to berate him if he waves ( which he did quite regularly).
I was in charge of identifying our new players as I was the only one who had done my homework by bothering to attend a friendly….to be fair not too taxing a mission as one is little with silver hair, one is overweight (though not very obvious in stripes), one big sod plays upfront, one big sod at the back and then an even bigger sod came on in second half and played upfront.
I was also marking your (DBT’s) territory to ensure our new youthful new neighbours (more youths than seats as per norm) were aware they were ‘borrowing’ your seat. They were that pissed that me peeing on your seat just didn’t work, but maybe take some disinfectant wipes to next home game.
Oh. Are we going to have another saga of always having to move young whippersnappers out of our seats when we eventually get there?
Why can’t they manage to stand in front of their own seat? Is there some rotund person at the other end causing them to all shove our way?

Yea, when ‘interrogated’, they are members just not in the seats they were stood, (which was yours so we knew that), but their mates were in the row in front.
I’m sure we’re that close to the row end, so when fully mobbed up claiming our own seats, we’ll just ‘squeeze’ them into the aisle and I think they’ll just squeeze into the row In front.
I have no doubt that would happen if we managed to turn up on time, but we don’t and so probably will have same saga for a few weeks.
At least it’s the same group were shifting so they’ll get use to us eventually. Probably needs full attendance for a few weeks though fellas

Watched a video on YouTube from a neutral fan who's doing the 92 grounds thing, he was with the Brizzy fans in North stand & said they was getting pelted with things after Bristol scored...mainly pies...(some fans have more money then sence!)...I normally slide a quarter of bottle of whisky/gin inside a pringle tube but that stays with me, not get lobbed at away supporters!
I trust they were vegan pies.

Oh for the days of swaying terraces and it was Darwinism and survival of the fittest. They would have been nowhere to be seen.
