I'm certainly not saying they didn't, just that I don't remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the Blades one was when they got promoted automatically, it was a meaningless end of season game for us, they brought zillions of fans. Everton fans came on during one of the FA Cup games we played against them, I think it was the one we lost 0-1 to a free kick, we had Akinbiyi up front...

KnowleUtd City Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Everton got on the pitch both cup games in the 90's, loads of them got on when Matt Jackson scored the winner. They also got on a couple of years later when they beat us 2-0 although only a handful of them. About 40 (naughty) Stoke got on the pitch from the eastend in the mid 90's as well.

Whitchurch1966 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 People on here are continually talking about experiences in the opposition home end, sit on your hands and no one will be any the wiser, if you react then you deserve to removed. Some of the seats being released in singles and pairs could well be seats that have become free because the occupant has transferred to the top tier.

The Sheffield Utd game was just after the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989, we won 2-0, fighting started in the Dolman and spread onto the pitch. The game was stopped for a while. The Everton game was the 4th round FA Cup tie in Jan 1995 - Matt Jackson scored a free kick winner for them and their fans ran onto the pitch... Hope this jogs the old memory!

According to one of their forums, refunds are dropping into accounts and tickets cancelled. If a supporter is on their database, they ain't getting in the home stands by the sounds of it!

I hope not as I can't see that ending well. Let's hope JulieH and the local OB are aware of this. In all the years I've been going to city, I don't think I can remember anyone invading the pitch at the Gate apart from us. Preston when they got promoted. No aggro that day but this will be somewhat different. Of course Sheffield United were on there once as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natchfever Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but are the club and OB checking addresses in the west country? Some Brummies were using the address of their west country hotels and guest houses to get tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely did - a load of them were in fancy dress - think it may have been a mob that came from the Eastend that confronted them on the pitch Id taken my Dad that Day and ended up having to stand my ground to try and protect him as he couldn't move fast enough and the Azzoles were throwing punches and kicks at anyone and everyone !

Cracking game, lost 3-2, after coming back from 2-0 down. Both going for the play offs. Anyhow, last minute living in MK, thought, sod it, just got in the car and drove down and bought a ticket on the day. City end sold out. Only when I got in did I realise I was amongst the numbties close to the City fans, giving it large. All very chatty, and picked up on my, not strong now, accent. Questions ensued. Lots of sideways looks. I laughed, pooing my pants really. I explained I lived in MK (which I did so could talk about that at length), but it was obvious I knew nothing really about the Luton side, and all I could come up with, to my eternal shame, was that I was a local Bristol Rovers fan who just fancied watching City get stuffed. At 2-0 up (or down, if you see what I mean) they even started a quick 'you are worse than Bristol Rovers' in my honour! The things I sang about Tony Thorpe that day. I then was in the gang! Big time one of their adopted fans for the day. Best of chums. I had to overact more than I thought I was capable of every bloody attack. And no, this would not be a dull 0-0 would it! From that day, if going in the wrong end, I have always done a little more research as to where. Confession is good for the soul. You will not tell anyone will you. Bet you felt muckier than John Terry's Mum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and where did this banter with away fans happen in the "old days" ? Segregation started sometime after 1976 and violence started meaningfully in the mid 1960's. Never stop segregation. Segregation allows each set of fans to get together to make a noise and to be safe - and it is far easier to manage/police. Come down hard on anyone who misbehaves? OK people will count to ten and sit on their hands in the stadium and then nail some mouthy sod on Coronation Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
