We were herded in by the police unfortunately.
One of the reasons I gave up on away games. All your freedoms taken away.
Is it the same now?
Remember them days well. Stopped wearing my colours and blended in with all the locals a fair few times. Backfired once though. Can't remember for sure who it was but was herded in with our opponents supporters. Was totally surrounded so couldn't say which team I was there for. Then when at the ground nearly got arrested for being with the wrong supporters. Quite enjoyed it though.I was more peed off by the fact that we would turn up at a town or city and the police would be waiting for us. Didn't matter if it was just you and your mate, ALL the fans would be gathered together and herded and marched to the ground and you couldn't break rank.
Remember going to Stoke and being herded and we went past some shops and my brother broke rank and started to go over the road to the shop wanting to buy a drink and the police told him to get back in line. You couldn't do anything at all other than go to the ground. It was a case of be marched all the way to the ground and all the way back. No freedom at all to do anything different.
Used to hate it.
Let's lighten things up a bit eh....
Mine: 1-0 win at Man Utd (Gibson)
For the benefit of the thread:
International Football History and Statistics - 11v11 has results from every season.
Huge snowdrifts out our way.Pretty annoying situation. I had to wait 54 days for first league game, Coventry 2 Barnsley 0.
Even more annoying having to wait 65 days for first FA cup game, worth the wait though 5-1 win away at Lincoln, the most postponed game in FA cup history.
All consequences of being born first day of 1963 in one of the coldest winters of 20th century.
Sad to say all gone downhill since then and unbelievably in a lower league despite me seeing 34 pleasurable in top league.
SISU OUT!!!!!!
Charlton played at Selhurst for a few years til the early 90s, the Valley was condemned. I think they moved back when Wimbledon moved there from Plough Lane.Charlton Athletic v Coventry City, 21 November 1987
2 all draw at Charlton Atletic but played at Sellhurst Park for some reason. Crowd was 4936 for a top division game!
I was born on this day!2-0 win over Everton
