Interesting thread this, went to a lot of matches from the early 70's until I came home to live in the mid 80's. Much less frequent since then.

I never got involved but you always had a good idea where and when it was going to happen (mind you got jumped by some Chelsea "fans" on the way home from the Hull game when we got promoted in 1977 and got all our scarves and what not nicked that was a bummer so maybe didn't always know). It could at times be pretty violent, but we are talking very different times, Stamford Bridge was not the veritable palace it is now. Portaloo's at the shed end knee deep in wee was mostly the order of the day. There was also a fair sprinkling of violence in society as a whole with the odd riot not unheard of. These guys were Chelsea / football fans it just was generally a more violent time.

It is difficult to understand what it was like on the terrace for a big game being carried along by the crowd it could be a wonderful exhilaration, any one who has not experienced it I would encourage them to head off to Germany for  a big Bundesliga match and get a terrace ticket. I do from time to time its great.

Yeh the lonsdale shop and also the little downstairs trainer shop down the side of the indoor shopping centre i think it was someones frontroom but had every adidas ever made. The pie and mash in brixton was a really good one but as kids we was told that the cab office next door used to kidnap people, f**k knows who made that rumor up.
