I was once banned for calling the chairman a corrupt, sordid, shrivelled little s***e. I am laughing now.

I got to wrestle with a few coppers in the hotel end for blowing a air horn, about five of them dragged me into a shed behind the Hotel end and took a load of mug shots.

I bet years later when you heard all those bloody Vuvuzelas at the South African World Cup you realised the Police were right! Grin Grin Grin

I know someone who took a loudspeaker off of a steward, and barked at Mickey Bell to get a fukcing move on. Grin

I remember Nick being chucked out of the Leicester FA Cup game at Filbert Street after approximately...5 minutes  Grin
Remember that and also what he was shouting to get him kicked out.

I loved a good ruck. I remember being cornered at Mansfield with Pete Folwell, we mashed a few smug faces that day. A copper ended up running backwards into a double decker and we read him his rights!

I don't know what he said, I wasn't anywhere near the incident. I just remember him being wrestled out of the ground so early on.

So, keep your comments to yourself unless you know the facts.

0-0 draw. Vale Park turned fully upside down (in my head!) with hazy memories of Vale invading the pitch at the end...while I spent the majority of the game, gurgling up green stuff on the Hamil away terrace!  Shocked

Pretty sure Sing Cobb is on about the 2-2 in the play off losing season.

2-1 up after a screamer from Roy O'Donovan, before an own goal equaliser for Vale confirming their promotion by Lee Collins (rip).

Remember about 5 coach loads of us being given police escorts to Stoke Railway Station to avoid all of us walking back to Longport through 12,000 Vale fans  Grin

The 2 fracas that stick in my mind was the infamous Chesterfield away, around 83 with the fuzz sending the dogs in the away end. The other was Sheffield Utd at home around the same time. I remember a load of them in THE and the MOC being a great big fat bloke with a perm and a sheepskin jacket. Someone played urban rodeo with him and lasted about 30 seconds, and people wonder why we miss The County Ground.

I was receiving pics of smoke bombs from the away end, whilst sitting in a bar in Fiesole in the Tuscan hills!

Singcobb was referring to years earlier, 1985, final game of the season,  though I believe!

No, it was back in days before play-offs. It was the 82-83 season and we beat them up there 2-1 on the last day of the season, they had already been promoted.

February 4th 1984. Encountered Zulus on the train to Leicester, moody Millwall on their way to Sheffield United, having been ambushed by West Ham early that morning, non-stop pitch invasions from a swollen 600 odd Northampton invasion...and PC Elizabeth Tart making the news on Mercia Sound that night...as did the tuck shop demolition and other antics at Saltergate that day!

Been there - forerunner in antiquity of Florence . For some reasons the Romans never favoured the lower plain due to the marshes on low lying plain. Was founded by the Etruscans in 7/8th Cent BC Romans shoved them out in 280BC. Nice view over Florence - apparently well healed Florentines have homes there to avoid the high summer heat. Typical of you to masquerade /hobnob with affluent ones Cool.

Do you remember the chap in the Hotel End around the 60/65 years when the Hotel End was packed would announce in a slightly inebriated manner that he was a West Ham supporter! Happened quite a few times. Or the game at Millwall when Gale and Howell(I think it was) were sent off for fighting exchanging blows like boxers. Howell or Howarth was pi$$ed and Gale had blood pouring from his nose. Think it was about 1964? Remember travelling with my B-in-law to see the 1958 cup game with Liverpool ,over 55k there. Can still remember the crowd swaying in the Kop. Was a very young teenager then and travelled on the train which was filled with Cobblers supporters. When we walked down the Carriages full of swaying Cobs along with the train Grin but mostly inebriated I accidentally barged against a fan knocked his beer all over the place tried to apologise but B-in- Law dragged me away before things got ugly.

So, keep your comments to yourself unless you know the facts.

i think the comment went something like,( and he was very p1ssed)

"Hello good people of Leicester i love you all".

or words to that effect,

but i don't want to upset your love in so we'll say that's the truth

I'm glad you seem to know more about what happened than me. Maybe, it's you that has "the love in"?
