Modern football types! I'm 58 you ignorant pillock. Saw plenty of ultra-violence when I was a kid. Cold Blow Lane in particular was a hot bed of violence in the 60s and 70s. Saw plenty there and elsewhere.

Ditto the above really - I've seen violence both in and around grounds, some of it quite stomach churning - don't think I've ever seen anything as polite as a "brawl" though.


Certainly not one which was "exciting and nobody got hurt", maybe you're thinking of a John Wayne film?

Sense of humour failure my dear friends. Just pointing out a bit of an over-reaction by the media. Obviously the point had been made before.


Brawl refers to loosely equally matched groups where no real harm is done. If you want some a real story when the London clubs came down about a 100 of them would stand in their Pringles/Stay prest/etc then start chanting and get chased, led onto the pitch, and receive a warm round of applause from the away end as they were marched round to join them.


It got a bit silly after Man U got relegated in 74 when they suddenly got the reputation of trouble and picked up more fans. Glory hunters were Leeds and Liverpool before that.


When they came back in 75 there were pitch invasions every away match when they came back up. Rember one at Derby but it was almost dancing with 18 year olds with long hair, short jumpers and baggies trying to kick each other. Then the Man U fan who fell through the roof at Carrow Road.


Of course there was far more unsavoury stuff and generally glad it has gone.


Always had to be careful at Upton Park even in modern times.

Which is exactly what Spurs were going to do if they'd managed to buy it. Dodged a bullet there.

      Tiler/bathroom fitter recommendation: PW Tiling

      By technotom · Posted

      Piotr and his team just completed our ensuite and we couldn’t be happier. They were a lovely team to have around and took great care with protection and clean-up every day. Communication was great and there were no nasty surprises with the final invoice despite a few challenges with the room along the way. The standard of work is incredible. We still can’t believe this room is in our house!

      What has that got to do with their being potentially terrified when loud fireworks are set off? To the best of my knowledge nobody is suggesting the firework noise is actually killing the animals.

      I run a small tutoring service for children who need extra support in their entrance exams as well as overall academic support for areas that need a little shoring up.   I'm a mother whose son benefitted from coaching to get 3 offers from leading schools.  I personally offer Creative Writing as a specialty and in each exam my son scored top marks for his creative.  If you would like to discuss options, do reach out.  We offer online classes in Maths, English, Creative, Science and Spanish to GCSE.  Many thanks, Kate
