[Sandbach Shrimper]

Millwall fans are very big when it comes to going on the pitch and confronting away fans.... who are in the upper tier. :dim:

 

[Benfleet A1]

Was that a Slazenger shirt he was wearing? Not very casual.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

If he was serious about taking on the upper tier, he would have jumped into the lower tier and ran up the steps, through the back, and up into the upper tier.

he also seems to have tucked his scarf into his pants in one of the other photos

 

[Supernaut]

Ha ha - what an absolute ****ing helmet.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

This is all true, but no more of a helmet than the "hard" Southend fans who stood behind a steward giving w***** signs - just the kind who would be on their toes as soon as anything real kicked off.
Grow up the lot of you - Bell ends.

To be fair to them, at least they managed to reign it in enough to see the game out.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

All a bit pathetic and tame really.

Now, if we'd had mobile camera phones in the 80's .......

Or in 71 when Millwall came in the North Bank and came off worse against a certian little crew from Leigh .

[Ramsdenblue]

sounds like x block....

Quite agree, block X, ha, never hear a sound out them, :winking: Call themselves supporters,

Snr.

Imagine a crew from Leigh taking on anyone these days? It'd be a case of skinny jeans and loafers with no socks at dawn...

 

[Blues 'n twos]

Would be hard to hear X block......its always empty for segregation :smile:

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Or in 71 when Millwall came in the North Bank and came off worse against a certian little crew from Leigh .

Yep, they got a pasting, and chased out. Then they came back for a long awaited revenge on the Friday night of mayhem of January 1976, which was the next time we played them at home. Every nutter from the Bermondsey area seemed to be there. This time they took our North Bank long before kick off after smashing down the big blue gate behind the North Bank. Sporadic fighting broke out in the South and West. The only safe place was the East Stand. I was in the North Bank when they took it. I have covered it on here before. It was the first and only time I have seen blokes at the front of a mob pull out knifes, let alone dockers hooks.

I was at that 1976 game. The only safe place I found was the South East Paddock.

Meanwhile, old matey boy in the video. It's hardly Dinamo Zagreb v Red Star Belgrade in 1990!! :thump::thump:

Or even these dimwits at Sporting Khalsa v FC United of Manchester, who couldn't work out that they could have a rumble by simply hopping underneath or over the perimeter railing! :smile: :-

[E for B and Billy Best]

It certainly wasn't safe in the South Bank. We started to get surrounded near the end and I'm not sure Dave Crumps plan to get on top of the tea bar and start swinging scaffold poles would have have panned out well. To this day I'm still not sure how we managed to get out of the ground intact.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Initially entered the North Bank, saw the army of Trolls, Orks & suchlike, that resembled the evil army in The Lord of the Rings film, and went in the West Stand.
Also went to the away game that season at CBL the previous Sept, that was a very nervy experience as well. We lost 2-1 and Gordon Hill scored both their goals, who later made a name for himself at Man Utd, as a winger.
