Hero for attending a football match ? I was a teenager at the start of the 70's and I went to football and stood on the terraces. I would imagine most people of that age at that time experienced exactly the same as me. Its no big deal. It was football in England in the 70's. So don't waste your vote on me Cheshire.
Brave? The away following at Ayresome Park in the match I described was one bus and that wasn't full. So we were either brave or daft. And you ?
Some really dense ****ers are contributing to this thread. I'd suggest you put down the meths and leave the keyboard alone for a few hours.
This might come as a surprise to you, in fact, I suspect it will be a complete surprise to you. I've been going to football matches for a long time too, and the behavior you seem to remember fondly was not shown by all fans. Quite a few of us managed to go to games and not act like complete ****s. The behavior you describe was never ever acceptable or the norm. However, it is thanks to you and your ****y cowardly mates that nowadays we have to endure all seater stadiums and the sometimes sterile atmospheres and over policing etc. Yes, that is 100% down to you ****s. Ironic isn't it?
You're right, it isn't being brave. '68, I was 1 & had never been hit on the head with a coin, bottle or anything else.
I've woken up to a world where Ben has actually proved too subtle for someone and Happy has nailed it. What's going on?
Plenty of room to snuggle up between me and Ben. Well ok it's a bit of a squeeze in fact, but what the hell.
This thread is just another example of why CITYfiley is the greatest poster on here. You're a class act sir and a gent - I always enjoy seeing what you have to say.
"FFS you lot better not visit the KC when FC are playing if this upsets you so much because throwing bottles on the pitch during play is almost compulsory." I'm calling ****ing massive bullshit here.
I've had plenty of all sorts of things thrown at me at football matches and I've seen other things thrown and heard about acid thrown by Sheffield United at Sheffield Wednesday. That doesn't mean we should condone it. I've never thrown anything at anybody.
