The missiles thrown from you lot on to us over the wall whilst we walked down millmoor lane were noted , something kerr may want to debate but that's the way it was in the 80's , if you didn't get bricked in the 80's you weren't there or possibly shouldn't have been if you still hold a grudge .
Things have moved on from those dark days thankfully .
The 81 league encounter was horrific at millmoor for a barnsley fan , the crush outside the turnstiles is something I can remember vividly nearly 40 years on .
Scary times on many levels , it took 96 liverpool fans to die before anything was done and yet if you were around in those times it was pretty obvious something tragic was going to occur when you think back .
That crush all those years ago never left me , it was scary and it was repeated on various other occasions at other grounds too , they really were riding their luck looking back .
I do miss the atmosphere of the old grounds but things did need to change .
