Out of interest what would you of done if you stumbled across our predicament back that day.

Helped some fellow City supporters out or let us get a good kicking.

Genuinely interested in knowing how many people have been assaulted at a game whilst trying to avoid trouble?  My own personal experience over some 50 years is that you can avoid trouble if you want to. I’m not saying that you can avoid threatening situations but if you go mute when asked the time and are respectful of the place you are visiting then in the main, you’ll be fine. 

4 of us and a 6 year old boy were walking back to our car at Wallsall 89ish (league game 2-0 win)

We got to a petrol station with a pub opposite when Wallsall fans came out of the pub across the road and started throwing bottles and punches at us. Our mate took his son into the garage and there were some blows traded in the road. Our situation was not a good one untill over the brow of the hill came a large group of city fans. Then the colour drained from the Wallsall fans faces and they started to retreat back into the pub, fortunately for us quite a few didnt get back to safety.

Looking back that was probably a day I rubbed shoulders and was saved by the CSF!

Thanks for your help lads

What could be more cowardly than hitting someone just because they support a different football club. I mean how pathetic is that. 

you may as well have a fight because you prefer different breakfast cereals. Or you prefer dogs rather than cats. 

Hardly cowardly if it's two groups of like minded individuals having a square up.  These blokes arnt wondering down the street kicking lumps out of just anyone it's generally pre organised and I'd imagine takes some bottle if your in to that sort of thing.

Cowardly is someone sitting behind a key board giving it the big I am!

York away 1988

Drove my Escort pop up with my old mate Scooter from Avening. Stopped at some services to see an ice cream van full of Millwall going to Grimsby.

Ralph Milne curled one in late on (still say it was a cross)to keep the play off dream alive and my old man gave me a proper rollocking the next day because for some reason I had left the spare wheel by the side of the shed.

RIP Scooter

Won, lose or draw I'm not one for hanging around to clap the players off, but I made a point of staying til they all left the pitch today. Yes, we probably should have lost, but that level of effort deserves appreciation.  There is something building at the gate, it won't come to anything this season, but somethings brewing.  

Very noticeable today how very few people left before the end of the game today 

Fraustrates me every game, gets in some good positions but couldnt cross a road.

The times he hits that first defender, oh well good night

Wasn’t bothered by it at all.

Food was nice tonight. 

And you didn’t answer my question.

 

If your referring to the 25 options in a restaurant comment , then my answer is yes it would bother me as I think  people should be given a choice.

I have to say that isn't the case at FGR though, let's face facts here the whole vegan thing is rammed down people throats via the menu and the advertising boards.

Does it also bother you when in a restaurant and out of 25 food options, only one is vegan?

Vince has done wonders for FGR and his sustainability message is a brilliant one. The new stadium looks 

90 minutes of knowing how many pigs , chickens and fish have been killed while I'm trying to watch the football.

I have met him via a acedemy side playing v FGR and Mr Vince welcomed the players, coaches and parents to FGR.  

Mr Vince also conducted a Q&A session with staff for visitors. He was polite and humble. One of the topics they covered was nutrition. They do not tell people what to eat. They outlined the benefits of vegan food. The health benefits are obvious. Their U teams certainly are not vegan .

Mr Vinces marketing tool has a expanding academy beyond normal expecations v the size of FGR and is investing in development centres for kids ... Hardly a club with its heart in the wrong place. 

Preferred their old kit v that green striped mutant thing.

If they dont tell people what to eat why is there no meat options available .

Admirable about the academy shame they are taking root down by the motorway.

Is there any pubs at the bottom of the hill ?

I normally go to the bar in the ground but last time that was a nightmare.

Head for the Britannia 

Turn into the street where the bus station is and keep going for about 400 yds

I will just have to hand my ten pound note over the bar in the ground then.

Oh, hang on a minute
