League Cup Semi Final - Bradford City

[Stu]

Bradford fans saying they have tickets in home areas. One even boasting he's going with a nose in the Holte.

Going with a nose? They don't even go to their own fucking games when its a quid in never mind ours when it's about £30 ffs!

Doesn't that say it all though? They would rather see us suffer than see themselves prosper.

It's bullshit. You'd think a nose would remember what happened to their fans in the home areas on 03/03/03.

And I've got a ticket in the away end with the Bradford lot!

Just because someone's bragging about it on a forum doesn't mean it's true.

[OCD]

I was in the Holte End on 03/03/03 and all I saw was Noses coming out of the woodwork when they scored, throwing things from the box by the scoreboard at us below. I didn't see or hear of any retribution.

Excuse me for being young and ignorant, but what happened? I only started going to games in 2004 when I was 10 so I'm a bit oblivious to anything before then.

Villa lost 2-0 at home to Blues. The famous night that Dublin got sent off for "headbutting" Robbie Savage, and Mark Halsey (yes, even then) also sent off Gudjohnsen. Pretty nasty trouble  before, during and after the game. Some Bloose fans had got in home stands and suffered the consequences. Bloose twats in a corporate box giving it the big I-am to the Holte End and ejected by stewards before Villa fans could get to him. Attempted pitch invasion, the lot. Not pretty

Ah, right - thanks. I was aware of the game and what happened just didn't know about all the trouble. Was it as bad as the quarter final a few years ago?

Wasn't at that one (as a matter of principle St Andrews is one of the few 'top flight' grounds I've never been to). Think there was a bit of a mass brawl on the pitch after the game but can't really comment on anything else that might have happened

[SoccerHQ]

It was bad. I was in the North stand upper and there were plenty of noses in there, getting pushed down the stairs and everything.

People were also squaring up by the segregation in the Witton.

Left after they scored the 2nd, just had to get out.

It is not 'top flight' by any stretch of the imagination. The place is an utter dump and the away fans are deliberately located in the worst possible place.

I was Lower Holte for 03/03/03, it was mental. It seemed most of people around me had lost it. Never seen VP like that before or since in over 30 years of games. And must admit, if I could have got hold of that twat in the box above us i'd have battered him.

Sorry DC5, I know the Sty is a shit hole, but I was using 'top flight' in the sense of clubs that have played in the top couple of divisions, not as a reflection on the standard of their ground.

I know that but couldn't resist the open goal.

I was in the Holte End in 03/03/03 and saw Noses come out of the woodwork and get kicked to pieces. One in particular in the upper Witton was introduced to ten or twelve stairs as he was booted down them.

I would hazard that it was the most evil atmosphere B6 has ever experienced, inside and out.

Noses thought they could come and take the Micky and haven’t tried owt similar since.
