The came round the the family enclosure terrace gate and started throwing things over the gate ....I remember vaguely my dad panicking and hurling me over the white wall onto the dirt track beside the pitch. Panic for him but tremendous buzz for me. Believe it or not a door was thrown over the wall and back again several times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't remember the item. But I'm sure they were aiming - and missing - at some lads in the wing stand they could see from outside. A door! Just trying to picture that being done nowadays would be absurd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spudulike 3,481 Posted 6 February 2020 Report Share Posted 6 February 2020 I appreciate this is an Away Days thread but it seems to have morphed into home fan culture as well (and sometimes not just in the 80's). Anyone remember the Kop battle with Villa ?? Found these.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So my own fans ended up.pelting doors that landed on thier own junior fans in order to bait Arsenal. Sounds about right for the times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackboots only 32 Posted 7 February 2020 Report Share Posted 7 February 2020 (edited) At filbert street in the 90s, away fans could still pay at the gate. My girlfriend at the times dad, was a senior steward and always worked the away end in the old east stand. so I used to rock up early around an hour before KO and pay at the gate with the few early arriving away fans. once I was inside, I would then walk down to the front and ask for ******* who would then let me climb over the barrier and walk pitch side and put me into pen 2 or 3. Worked a treat, no bother until once against West Spam, I arrived late, did the usual but ****** said you’ll have to stay put until the game starts as there’s a high police presence as they are expecting trouble. So there I sat in silence with the away fans until about 15mins into the game, then he gave me the signal and I jumped over the advertising hoardings and he escorted me into the Leicester end. With the whole of the Kop applauding me and chanting “we’re proud of you” because they thought I was being thrown out of the away end for being a Leicester invader tbh I couldn’t fight my way out of a paper bag 😍 ******* still works at the club 😉 Edited 7 February 2020 by Blackboots only 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On my own. Arrived late, Away turnstiles closed. Crept up to a steward and whispered in his ear. He told me to follow him. So I did. went through the turnstiles next door, he met me the other side. And then escorted me through the home fans, through the gate in the fence, round the pitch and into the away fans enclosure. Leicesters here, Leicesters there, Leicesters every ********* where Huge round of applause etc etc Never been so scared in all my life 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To escape capture, they did a swallow dive from about ten metres up into the crowd, where they were caught and made good their escape Good old Ant, Banbury afterwards was mental Edited 7 February 2020 by Mok Spelling 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
