Running up to my seat in the Kop and falling over while everyone cheered was embarrassing

I enjoyed this. Have 5*

A Villa away game circa 2005.

Sat in with the Villa fans in the stand opposite the Holte End with my ex, who hated football.

Dirty, crumbling toilet of a stadium. Couldn’t say a word. Getting gobbed on by irate Villa fans. Girlfriend miserable.

Just why?

Going on the coach to see Ipswich. Buying a ticket in the pub that turned out to be for a midweek game. Of course he wasn't there when I got back. No TV in pubs then so it was on the radio, we lost.

Worst stadium experiences not related to what's going on on the pitch were all at 1990s Zenit St Petersburg games. Getting hypothermia in a November evening match (neutral venue play-off game between Spartak and Alania to decide the league title) while the local fans racially abused the 'darkie' players from Vladikavkaz was one. Being stuck in a crush with some very unpleasant Hillsborough vibes was another.

I also saw the worst football I've ever paid to watch in the Petrovsky stadium.

Happy memories...

Last time I had a smoke at Anfield, the steward asked me is that weed you're smoking? I nodded, expecting to be kicked out. He asked for a puff.

Is "worse" a typo?

Got a ticket for the Milan derby in the 2000s. I bought an AC Milan scarf before the match, went to my seat and found out I was sitting in Inter fans area. It was a freezing winter and I had to bare the cold with the scarf inside my bag.

Liverpool for ya.

Smell it a lot round OT, you can't really get away with it in the ground.

Superb mate.

St Mirren away after a 4 hour bus journey plus stops at the pub in Perth, you can imagine the nick of the boys. We sneaked a bottle of Vodka in and decided to see how fast we could finish it playing tennis (one swallow each, then two swallows etc until the bottle is finished).

The second round caught me off guard and i spewed all over the empty row in front of me as did another boy. This got the stewards attention and we were both carted out of there.

I only went because i got a free ticket from one of my mates who was in the team expecting to make his debut, which he never even made

norwich v sunderland when i was about 8... stood with the sunderland fans waiting to leave when i heard "MIND YA BACKS"... my 8 year old short wearing legs getting splashed by some dirty Mackem piiiiising down the steps

Legia Warsaw when we were playing at Murrayfield

blotto in the pub across the road before hand, massive barney outside with the Legia fans, celtic fans and the polis, got pumped on the park, left early like everyone else, missed the train back to Glasgow, nearly got lifted when I got off the train at Queen St, if it wasn't for another poster on here I would've got lifted, made my connecting train home from Glasgow by about a minute, woke up the next day for work rough as fook

then we were awarded the tie a few days later

Obviously a fictional story. You sure you weren't dreaming?

Suppose it depends where you are from, seems like it would be totally legit to me.

Mm mine doesn't seem bad at all now.

Come on fam lets not do this. Yes my grammar aint all that but you get the gist of what I'm saying. Not all of us have fancy degrees and stuff.

Back to the topic at hand.

Easter road, mate was working on the roof of the school next door, playground of which was used as a car park. Hi-viz Hilter tried to stop me going to say hello, I barged past, he got the police, lifted, put in cell under the stand for the duration of the game.
Larsson's debut, gave away the ball that led to the Hibs goal, police at the door hatch giving it the 1-0 and laughing. Let out once all the supporters buses had gone, only had a few quid had to stowaway on the train home, ragin'!

Fair

At Dean Court when Bournemouth were in League One, some utter troglodyte 3 rows in front of us in the west stand started making monkey noises at a black opposition player.

Hillsboro, Sheffield, being pushed down the terraces in the swell with people squashed up against the Leppings Lane end fences. Fans then having to pi55 on the terraces cos they can't move.

Being chased and attacked by scouse police weilding trunchions at Goodison for being 'a furrrkin manc'

Having to lie on the floor of our coach departing LFC as the windows were being bricked by scousers driving down Scotty Road at great speed to get on the M62

Arriving on masse with United (with tickets) at Hawthornes but not been allowed to enter by WMP, which ended in a riot with hundreds or reds kicking down the wall of the stadium to get in. And we lost.

Numerous away day trips with the Red Army where it all kicked-off around you, either inside or outside the ground.


Ahhh..... Happy days.

Just asking for research purposes

My father in law is a Millwall fan, had some brilliant stories on the stag!

most of these sound a good laugh

Driving 2 hours to OT to see United play Bournemouth only to be turfed out by the bomb squad
