> Nightmare < was that a hidden punt you was asking there LF ? If so i have no idea only that this mob of reading chelsea and my mates ended up having a slight punch up at Sheffield station  In a type of friendly fire excahnge i guess .

it all calmed down in the end after i pointed out i was chelsea and no great harm was done .as i said we all ended ul having a small chin wag hence how i found out they was chelsea from reading . 
 

the nightmare that day was when in back of the cop van when SYP was abusing us ,buts thats SYP in a nutshell .iam trying to think back if this game was during the miners strike which might have explained SYPs mindset to some extent . 
 

 

Yes it was a hidden punt...he was from Reading at the time

You got me thinking now iam 54 and me donnymates were all about the same age give or take a couple of years . I do recall the reading chelsea lot seemed to be much younger than us and the one i was taking to seemed to be a rite cocky little fcuker . 
 

like i said once they knew i was chelsea it all calmed down ,we thought they was sheff weds and they thought was type of thing sheff weds ,non of us was sheff weds 

the reading lot jumped onto their train and we was still waiting for the local rattler back to pubcaster ,and i recall a couple of the donny lads saying that the cocky little f**ker that i was remerstrating with was first on the list if things did not improve .

i just cant recall the year of the game LF .

Remember  coming in the paper shop to do my paper round, and the report was plastered over the back pages, talk about rubbing your face in it, every time I pulled a paper out the bag

Ouch !    And that’s me being diplomatic.

Anyway they were jammy, as we were down to 10 men as Patesy was sent off not long before half time. I remain unbiased, of course.😀

Got locked out for the Spurs game the old bill were stopping everyone a long way from the stadium if you didn't have tickets they wouldn't let you pass.
