No holding back away fans in those days.
Wild west after the game with everyone let out together.
About 4000 fans travelled if im correct.

Definately Showers, last minute goal.

It wound the locals up just before we left the ground.

Very often there would only be a few hundred as well.

Millwall away 74, 5 -1 was it.

A city fan stabbed getting off the bus and walking a few hundred yards.

Scary as feck and just a few hundred icognito city spread around the old den :lol:

WHU away in 79 ? and all supporters buses dropped off at Paddington and making our own way to Upton park and back as the coach companies insurance would not pay out on the amount of smashed up windows in the previous season, well that was interesting :lol: :lol: :lol:

One fat cockney shouting at us in the main stand, I GOT MY EYE ON YOU BROTHER :lol: :lol: :lol:
