November 6, 201213 yr Author Nice one will give that a try mate cheers. Tried that, got no joy, anyone else try?
November 9, 201213 yr Chelsea 2 Liverpool 0 fa cup 1982 Was standing in the Shed that day in the middle, right at the back. When we scored our first goal the place went crazy of course and we all spilled over backwards on the walkway jumping up and down like loonies. A young female copper who was on her own (which was odd) got caught up in the madness and I remember this one guy grabbing hold of her and giving her a great big kiss. When he released his grip on her he shouted out ‘sorry but we’ve just scored against Liverpool’. Luckily for him she took it all in good spirit, smiling and straightening her hat. Remember it like it was yesterday, strange what sticks in the old grey matter sometimes hey!
November 9, 201213 yr Chelsea 2 Liverpool 0 fa cup 1982 My memory of this match was watching the Liverpool fans get a right hammering from all sides.
November 10, 201213 yr Chelsea 2 Liverpool 0 fa cup 1982 Can't believe nobody watching from the lower flat. What a great place to have a flat,free Blues matches
November 10, 201213 yr They never used to let people into that block of flats as a rule. I only watched part of a match once when I got chucked out against Bolton (The 4-3 game) in the first half.
November 10, 201213 yr Author My memory of this match was watching the Liverpool fans get a right hammering from all sides. One day i was getting ready for school when a letter came for me, that was the first time ever i'd remembered getting post, i opened the envelope & inside was two east stand lower gate 13 tickets from my dad, i couldnt believe it, my mum or dad hadnt said a word about it & there in my hands were two tickets. I went to school excited i was always getting grief off the Liverpool supporting older kids even though i went to watch my team & they could hardly spell Liverpool let alone know where the place was. I knew my dad was working on the flats between the Jolly Malsters pub & Fulham Broadway station, during his lunch break he'd gone to buy seat tickets as he was worried about going on the terrace, he then thought as an added surprise he'd post them to me, i'll never forget that. The day of the game i went to work with him really early, we then went off to a cafe then on to the local army museum, while we were there my dad had a go at a small group of skinheads who were doing nazi salutes when they saw clips of Hitler come on a tv screen. We then got a bus towards the ground, slowly moving along due to traffic we came to a standstill on the bridge by the Black Bull pub, overlooking the railway tracks behind the east stand we were shocked to see what looked like 100s of lads fighting on the actual tracks, we finally got to our seats. The game started & i'd never seen or heard a crowd like it, we then score & the ground erupts, fighting breaks out on the north terrace just to our right, not long after Liverpool fans start lobbing bottles & coins over to our section, a bloke few rows along got hit by a bottle, my dad covers my head with his arms to protect me, few mins later a Liverpool fan was walking along the touch line with a st john ambulance man, with a cut on his head & blood dripping down the side of his face, with that a Chelsea down the front jumps over the boarding & punches the bloke in the face before jumping back to his seat, half time is getting near & the bottles ect carry on being thrown at us, my dad has had enough & could see i was sh*t scared so we left, we got home just in time to hear Colin Lee had scored a 2nd for us. The next day me & an older mate were telling the other kids in our road all about the game & the trouble, my older mate had got on the pitch from the shed & seen on tv, he was branded a hero while i was branded a sh*tter lol! One of the best & worst games of my Chelsea supporting life.
November 10, 201213 yr Author They never used to let people into that block of flats as a rule. I only watched part of a match once when I got chucked out against Bolton (The 4-3 game) in the first half. I got thrown out the shed v Derby for doing f@ck all in 1990, worst thing was i'd had a leaflet on me about smashing up an Arsenal pub that someone was giving out in the pub before, thankfully plod let me go but took my membership off me, i managed to appeal & got it back from CFC on the way to Walsall in the league cup with a warning from CFC. I watched the rest of that Derby game from those flats there was about 20 or so of us who had all been thrown out for f@ck all.

You must have missed the bit where the North Stand charged across the gap and started trading punches over the segregation fence, the benches charged across the pitch and were fighting over the front fences and Chelsea got into eastern end the Liverpool section over the railway tracks. To this day I don't know why our fans were so up for it, maybe some revenge for something that had happened up there previously?

I do remember seeing it go off on the terrace mate not sure when it was but i was def still in my seat, i always thought that was why the scousers were lobbing stuff at us.
November 13, 201213 yr Tried that, got no joy, anyone else try? You need try try different years and dates. When I went on I found various pics and some videos. LIkely to be on title page as opposed to buried deep in the target website. Edited November 13, 201213 yr by shedhead

November 14, 201213 yr Bricks and stanley knives on innocents up in their slums. Exactly, payback for the previous ten years (minimum) of scousers attacking non-hooligan fans and families and slicing them up with knives, the cowardly scum. I was in the North Stand that day and got a great deal of satisfaction from battering Liverpool fans - revenge is sweet!
November 14, 201213 yr Author You need try try different years and dates. When I went on I found various pics and some videos. LIkely to be on title page as opposed to buried deep in the target website. Tried that mate just keep getting an ad for a domain name for that site. I've tried the years & dates from when i know it was def going as there used to be loads of pics from CL aways in 00s ect
November 16, 201213 yr Chelsea & West Ham swapping scarfs, gate 13 1984 Can see a Lyle and Scott jersey ! 80s fashion...
November 16, 201213 yr love all that casual gear smart as. Funny though makes it hard to pick out who's who in the picture. Certainly wasnt the walkover that our friends from the East like to portray it as.
November 19, 201213 yr Thanks to all contributors to the Vintage picture section, they are all excellent viewing.
