In my very first game at Moss Lane (the Notts County cup game) my friend and I, sorry me and my mate, got threatened by some kid wanting to nick sweets off us. Brave lad was threatening us from from the pitch side of the main stand fence that we were stood behind. My memory then is that the fence was above head height making him extra tough. I'd only gone along to sell programmes after an appeal was put out at school. Didn't let it put me off going again, although it wasn't until the Blackburn cup replay that I did. That involved wagging off school as it was played in the afternoon due to the miners' strike and power cut. Half the teachers were at the game so wouldn't have been much point being at school anyway.
