Other "mobs" turning up

Didn't he end up throwing his lot in with the blues?

That's correct mate. Big shock at the time, that was.

I remember us being in the Oxford home end before the game in about 72/3. They sneaked in a few at a time, until they had enough to run us out of the end, onto the pitch, just as the teams were coming out. KO was delayed 10 mins until we went in the paddock or open end.
Ref, M'boro cops giving lifts to the station, Toon cops did the same in 75/6 ish, back to Manors station.

A villa fan told me "Mousey" lived on Chelmsley Wood and as the place is full of noses ,it would be no surprise .

At the Millwall away game where we drew 1-1 and Jimmy Cumbes was hit by a piece of coal

Brilliant line there, not much could show up the change in times better than that.

I think a goalkeeper playing at Millwall in the eighties was hit by a Filofax.

A hand grenade was thrown on the pitch between Brentford and Millwall in the 60s.

The good old days when stuff like that and unexploded German bombs were easy to get your hands on.

Rodney Marsh was taking a corner for QPR at The Den and a Millwall fan ran up to him and hit him with a biscuit tin

I'd like to hit him with a biscuit tin after his comments about us on Hawkesby and Jacobs the other week, the twat.

Wasn't that Oxford one in 1969?

[lennythekad]

I didn't start going to always til 70/71 Jon. I'm pretty sure it was 72/3, if not then 73/4 for sure. There were plenty of Gooners in with them iirc. One of the longest walks from the station too.

All way before my time, but this thread has been a great read. Thinking of my comments on another thread, what would you say was the worst/evilest sort of atmosphere you have seen at Villa Park and at an away game?

I wasn't at the Rangers game but home was ****** night. Away, the League Cup semi at Everton in 1984 took some beating for all-round malevolence in the air.

Rangers at home was by far the worst atmosphere i have  ever experienced at Villa Park. I don't mind admitting i was truly scared that day .As for the away games,well i have been in quite a few scary moments over the years,but if i had to choose,i would go for Millwall away on our return to the old second division .As a group of us walked to the ground from our coach before the game,we came across a wall near to the railway station with "Villa if you come,you will die "daubed on it .Nearer the ground,we met a friend who told us the Villa fans who had come by train had been ambushed by the Millwall fans as they came out of the station .

The match was the longest 90 minutes i can remember. My friends and i spent most of the game watching who was near us rather than the match.Their mob,knew there was Villa fans in the ground as before the game .a  small band of villa fans below us, had started to sing.Not a  wise move, they got a good kicking .Their mob were not kids either,most of them looked in their 30s and 40s and evil

Yes ,Millwall away that day, has to be the worst atmosphere i have ever experienced

I didn't even make it to the ground for the Rangers game but I could tell you about the atmosphere in the streets at the back of Aston Hall up the hill!

The match at Ayresome Park on Valentines Day 1988 wasn't a lot of fun, to be honest. There seemed to be at most 300 of us there (it was a Sunday game, one of the rare live games you'd see on telly back then).

And we lost, too.

I was there!

And me, we've done this one a few times. 'Taylors Valentines Day Massacre'
