WolfOfWestStreet Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 It was Portsmouth. One of the offenders is the father of my best man. He went to prison for it along with one other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Never to the dark side said: can you recall what year it was? and what away match were they returning from? Thanks Judging from the NYT article linked, I would suggest it was probably on or about 15 May 1983. I leave you to research from which match they were returning, although I doubt it was Hartlepool . Please don't tell me it was Hartlepool.... Edited June 20, 2022 by PHILINFRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was before the Dorchester bypass and the dual carriageway from Bournemouth to there was built I think and any sane person would have avoided the A35 on a holiday Saturday. Getting round Bournemouth, through Tolpuddle, Dorchester, Bridport and Chideock could take all day back then. Straight up the A34 to Andover and onto the A303 every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
