ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING MATCHES I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO

Thu Feb 11, 2010 10:42 pm

Chelsea v Westham about 1984.
I use to go in the West Stand, but on this particular day 8 of us went up and went to buy our tickets about 12pm and infront of us were about 300 Westham all queing to buy in the Chelsea seats, including Cass Pennant, Bill Gardner etc
So we thought sod that and went in the Shed instead.

During the game fighting broke out in the main stand(East stand) about 400 Westham were in there, then I looked to my left in the West stand and hundreds of Westham stood up and chased Chelsea out of their own seats. Before we knew it hundreds and I mean hundreds of Westham attacked Chelsea in the Shed behind us, This happened 3 times during the game on the Shed and the police were helpless, then 5 minutes before the end every man and his dog attacked Westham, including the 8 Cardiff and finally drove Westham of the Shed.
Outside was carnage.
Were you there Daya ?

That was what you call organised, Cardiff never have been and never will be. Its now 2010.
All I want is a bit of atmosphere in the new stadium.

Palace v City in 1978 I think.........vanload of us from Port Talbot got trapped inside a Palace fans pub,and lets just say it was like the ok coral with glasses,chairs and bins being thrown at us.Law came to our rescue,but suffice to say we got some revenge later in the day.Jaws and Flanka were alive in those days,and it was a day I,ll never forget. :ayatollah:

That game in 84, they came into the West stand double early when they took the liberties in the seats hardly anyone was there at the time, but regarding organisation your spot, they usually had the jump on chelsea back then, due to their superior planning & the fact they were out and about earlier than the lark.

They came unstuck at Victoria that year of the "Hooligan" documentary getting run ragged, somehow that didnt make the final cut for some reason. :lol:

For me annis, it has to be my 3 "visits" to the old den milwall, late 70,s early 80,s they were scary, one trip when we arrived off the train we heard that 2 city fans had been stabbed as they got off the coach, very scarey, needless to say for all the mainiacs that welcomed us on every visit, Cardiff fans more than held their own!!!!
