March 1980.

And the story:

Lots of minor injuries but it was the Scousers at home so everyone wanted to make it to the match and a mixture of cars, taxis and motorbikes was hastily convened and everyone got to the game on time, including lots of further pick-ups around the Fylde Coast - all achieved in an era before mobiles!

The driver was brilliant - he realised what he had done straight away and legged it up the road without saying a word - arrested later - I never found out from that day to this if he was pissed or not!!!

Now that's what football is all about.

Haha, that's awesome. Shame that things aren't like that anymore, everything's gotta be safe and regulated.

Ten years from now, kids probably won't be able to understand that previous generations of children played outside on their own without fear of being abducted, and football fans of tomorrow will wonder why supporters in the 1980's put themselves through the discomfort of standing through an entire match. Those pictures show why: Because it's FUN!!!!

and :eek:

boro_boy · 18-01-2007, 19:29

the dart one is quality lol.

That must be why they are banned from The Riverside. But I always thought to myself, WHY bring darts into the game. The photos are great kiko and a great look back at the past when football was football and not a business or not as business related as it is today.

I've got a few more I think. I'll upload them later.
