Newport Cewnty, 87/88 season. City won 4-1.

Brian Mcdermott scored a screamer.

I sat in the Grandstand and loved the old wooden seats and the banter with The Cewnty who were on their way out of the league and into oblivion.

Villa in the late 60's or early 70's.

There was fighting throughout the whole of the first half and at half time the club displayed their "best behaved supporters" trophy.

Second half was the same....I don't think i seen any of the game that day and why would you want to when all that agro was going on? :D

The legendary Man U home game 74/75, my parents were so worried I had to be taken by two of my dads mates. I have a vague memory of Gerry Daly scoring for Man U (I might be wrong on this) but I was far more interested in the utter carnage of the non stop off the field terrace activities that day. I know Man U won 1-0, but the terrace chaos from that day will live with me forever, ain`t seen anything like it since. I was aged 11 at that time, but the memories stay with me. 12 holer doc martins, 3 star jumpers, buthchers coats etc.

Think it was 87/88 Crewe at home...............We lost Surprise...Surprise.... :roll: then the massed crowd underneath the tv gantry on the bob bank decided to kick off when the full time whistle went, no dicking about around 300 cardiff went steaming across the pitch toward block A! taunting them as i was leaving all you could make out was the missiles, they used to house the away fans in block A if i remember right?

My first game 8-) :lol:

At Ninian Park, i think it was 1976 against PNE and we lost 2-0 .we were sat in the Canton on those old wooden seats. Back then the stand went back a lot further than when we left gods stadium.
