i really dont mean this to be a hoolie discussion but,,
runcorn at home - there  was a massing non stamford parkand a couple of skirmishes took place.  a big runcorn fan was grappling with an alty fan and a copper jumped on top of them and they all fell to the ground. cue all the rest crowding in and kicking hell out of them.
it was horrible to be a young male in alty for weeks after, the police were not happy

scarboro away and at home the previous year were bad too but for some reason i was able to be away from it all, whereas runcorn felt like it was coming for me, like they knew who you were

the more i think about this the more i realise that my rosy glow of the good old days is rubbish. particularly cup games could be awful
was anyone else at the fac 2nd round at droylesden?

I was at Droylesden and was very happy to get onthe coach in one piece, but what a celebration when we found out we had drawn spurs away.
Runcorn was frightening, the famous foxy was arrested for his own safety funny how it was always him that was attacked first wherever we went, he was (or is) just one of life's unlucky guys.

I thought the copper who was hurt was an off duty runcorn copper?

Agreed that nostalgia dulls the terror that was felt at most away games in those days but somehow there is some sort of affection for having survived it
