I remember this game and the trouble in the stand, never seen this footage before though. Seems like a Palace fan recorded it and has now uploaded it.

The police certainly had a difficult job holding back the Palace fans

In the mid-80s our games teacher was a rugby man (and a bully at that), and woe betide anyone who wasn't any good at it or hated it as I did (same with cross country, he would literally make you run until your legs buckled).  You would not get away with it now, and he didn't get away with it then my dad found out what he was doing and literally went up the school and pinned him against the wall (a surprising event in itself as my dad is the most mild-mannered of men, I didn't have any problems after that!).

I got away with the birthday 'fun', birthday was always in the six weeks holiday so was forgotten about by the time term started again!

Me too, August birthday, no bumps

Were they expecting people to pop round his house after publishing his address?

I remember The Big Match on Sunday afternoon's Brian Moore would read out letters and give exact addresses house numbers and all

When Taylor joined the band in 97 I saw the pics and thought he was Dave's brother

What a joke referee - appalling decision for Barnsley's penalty.

These sort of decisions - which we never seem to get could be very costly come the end of the season!

It all evens itself out over the course of a season, though in our case it doesn't

Apparently derived his wealth from unusual means - he started out in business as a granny farmer, was infamous for 15 minutes and then appeared on Panorama.

Not sure if that means he can be sanctioned.

I was listening to a bit of Carter recently, still sounds great 35 years on

I wasn't at the game today or did not watch it so just caught up with the highlights on Sky Sports. Can anyone at the game tell me why both teams change their kits for a brief period in the second half?

The Sky Sports highlights are often shocking and seem to miss out goals on a regular basis.

And changed grounds

Had to laugh at the poster who said"Two thousand tractors will be heading down the M4" That is funny mind!

It's cringingly unfunny, as if we've each got a tractor FFS

Could be that +1 channels aren't normally in HD. There's obviously a difference between HD and SD. 

I can only watch Quest football on HD, SD is much too blurry

If the police believe that then they are more stupid than I thought they were. 
Might’ve worked 25 years ago when it was illegal to sell alcohol before 11am. Nowadays, it’s a Spoons brekkie at 8am, 6 pints down by midday and a few bags of the white stuff. 

Seems like you've had a good day

I don't remember that, but I do remember them lifting the big red iron gates off their hinges after a City v Cardiff game in the mid to late 80s. The gates were locked to allow the away fans to be kept in but Cardiff weren't having it. Next the thing the gates are removed and it's carnage

They smashed up the turnstiles, Feb 90

They've got lots of previous for smashing things up, sadly lacking when it comes to the real stuff though as proved today, w@nkers

Whilst, like many on here, I am glad those heady, violent and often dangerous days of the 1970s are but a distant memory - these days, I prefer a quiet pint or two before the match, before sitting in my comfortable seat in the stand and enjoying the game with a perfect, unobstructed view of the pitch - I still retain memories of some quite hairy away days.

I mean, who could ever forget:

As a young, teenage schoolboy, being told by the local Police at Elland Road that it would be my own fault if I got beaten up on the way back to the coach following City’s 1-0 win in the FA Cup as I shouldn’t have come there in the first place.

Being chased on to the pitch at Villa Park by a group of angry Villa fans, only to be forced back on to the terrace by the local Police.

Spending a pleasant 10 minutes or so in an underpass outside Molineux watching empty milk bottles being thrown over my head.

Being protected from a baying mob and given a Police escort back to our car (all five of us!) after being so stupid as to cheer a last minute winner against Millwall at the old Den.

As Mary Hopkins once sang....

I was right in the middle of the milk bottle incident, scary stuff, FA cup Wolves 73

The Bierkeller was superb! Which was the ‘other one in Frogmore Street’? The Bierkeller wasn’t in Frogmore Street 

There was a BierKeller in Frogmore St, 1974, opposite the Mandrake, just up from the Horse and Jockey (now Queens Shilling)
