Yep, I remember the nasty 80s in Cov. It was then I realised I had to move down to London. Still and always be a Cov fan but I don't miss the random violence.
Completely wrong, I was there, the bloke with the kids actually started the fight, he ushered his kids off the train the went back and threw a hay maker at my mate who had his back turned and couldn't defend himself, then my other mate steamed in to this fucking idiot, even the little kid was heard saying, my dad always gets into trouble, then outside the station he started again, then got nicked, and deservedly so, please get your facts right before slagging off other fans, and by the way, I don't condone violence at all, just stating the absolute facts!
Why did he judas your mate?
There was a few words said on the journey, but this guy wouldn't let it go, and banged him, I'm telling you honestly, my mates don't go out for trouble, this bloke started it, my mates just reacted to the situation, of which I don't condone, I don't think the originator of this thread should start shouting off about other fans until he has his facts right, the bloke with the kids was a dickhead, and should be ashamed of himself, what sort of parenting is that!!!
I didn't know they had built a currency exchange at the station. Handy I guess.

Easy to blame and attack the 'youths' like we've seen on here. 80% of the time I've seen trouble at city games it's the older guys thinking they are Mohammed I'm hard Bruce Lee. (home & away fans)

I, like many of the senior posters on here, remember the late 1960's into the early 1970's. Football violence was rife. It's just that the arseholes who need to have a drink before they show how "hard" they are, seems to have gone on the increase. I'm 17 stone and me and my brother (and he's a lot bigger than me!) used stand outside our shop in Far Gosford Street on a late Saturday afternoon and stand guard with a menacing look to the yobs. Not once did we have trouble and we didn't need a bleeding drink first either! We had them all coming past - Chelsea, Leeds, Millwall - all the so called "hard" fans! They just scurried past!
did anyone else see the thugs that attacked a city fan getting off the train at cov, ? guy in his 40's with two young teenage kids punched and kicked off the train at cov, by city fans, guy stuck up for himself and HE was arrested while the other wankers ran off.
Nothing worse than a middle aged chav.
i seen the alleged guy sniffing in the toilets
Did he have a cold like I have?
There's a lot of it about......
Like the first game at sixfields when the football league show showed a couple of old boys about to have a scrap.
I was on holiday must have missed that one.
Was it anything to do with the passion they share for our football club?
Or it was a couple of people causing trouble...
I thought all towns and cities in this country on a Friday and Saturday night nowadays were war zones in 'Binge Britain'?
haha, its bad when RFC, SISU and sixfields biggest fan, calls you dissallousioned........or indeed disillusionedWhy? Who's at fault here? Oh yes the innocent!
Dissallousioned!
We lock horns again ferret ;-)
I too was around then...& it was bad - but attacking a guy out with his family? That would be extremely rare in the 80's - even if he's said something about their behaviour...some respect & space would have been given.
You only have to look on youtube to see how much worse violence in society was in the 70's/80's especially at the football. When you talk about "the vast majority of people used to moderate language, volume and behaviour used in the company of women or at least families" i'd say the majority still do but the difference is women and families now feel safe to go to football now and didn't in the 70's/80's. Keep it real.
I think the real difference is that today's younger element (men & women) use fowl language as a matter of course.
yes Bazza - I am old school 70's-80's when it kicked off every week.
But those days of massive football aggro had certain codes-of-conduct; ie. no blades, no picking on a bloke with his bird or his kids..... no effin respect from today's Chavs now.
