a few of us missed the start as the old bill wouldnt let us in (drunk so they said) so we had to wait till they fucked off from outside the away end to get in.
considering those turnstiles were made out of concrete blocks they were no match for city fans :lol: i remember some1 launching a pair of crutches over the top as well :o :ayatollah:
