What hapend after the match

[Whicka_Mon]

If anyone thought today was a bit “tasty” with the Millwall morons then you weren’t there when we beat them in the 83-84 cup match.

The only time I have come close to s h I t t I n g my pants at a match.

Really threatening bunch of thugs attached to this horrible little club.

I remember that game. Weren't they 3-0 up after the first leg?

Yep....3-0 up and we beat them 5-1 in the return leg and I think Gary Thompson scored three.

Their yobs came out of the Smethwick end and ran along the roofs of the old “executive” boxes in the Rainbow Stand so they could get to our end.

I’d already had the misfortune to catch the train from New Street after work and finding it full of Millwall scum intimidating anybody including women,children and old people......I looked like I had no neck as I had my Albion scarf on and my head receded into my coat to hide it!

There’s no doubt in my mind that I’d have had a real kicking if they’d sussed me.

Ironically,the only time I ever got beaten up was by a gang of Lye Town fans in 1977 after Stourbridge had won an FA Cup match at their ground,a gang of six of them jumped me after I left the ground and gave me a massive kicking.

Today’s supposed “hard men” haven’t a clue as to how brutal the 70’s were.

brutal that’s a good way of putting it,put a lot of fans off attending football especially away games.
