Any other fog stories.  Living in Fulham I used to go there quite often.  One very foggy friday night they were playing Southampton and me and a mate went in the Putney End to size up the away fans.  Being Chelsea we weren't very impressed never rating Southampton at all so after going round to the Thamesbank infomed a few of our Fulham mates that they'd have no trouble bearing in mind they could hear but not see Soton.  Around they all went and promptly got chased all over the place 'by blokes with beards' one of them told me next time I saw him.

The Norwich games bring back a few memories for me. 1972 was the first season my parents allowed me to go the Bridge on my own. I remember being well sick of Jimmy f**king Bone by the end of the season.
To add to the pain of losing to Norwich in the League Cup, my old man did pantomime in Norwich possibly in 1973 or 74 and he was playing the dame. During rehearsing one particular sketch which required removing a number of layers of clothing he got his leg caught and ended up rupturing his cruciate ligament. His recuperation was partly done courtesy of Norwich FC where the physios helped plan his fitness regime which was so sophisticated it consisted of tying a harness around his lower leg so it was possible to put a fairly heavy ashtray in it to enable him to do weight lifting with his leg to strengthen the muscles! How times have moved on since then.

Never seen the brighton footage before. Excellent stuff! Had to laugh at the chelmsford - ipswich game suddenly going black and white half way through.

Anyone remember the Oldham game early 90's in the fog? we lost 3.1 & we couldnt see past the half way line, Chelsea scored at the opposite end but we didnt realise at first as we couldnt see it.
