Do it properly KingRoss, next time write "I'm guessing you woke up shortly after, smelling of custard".

No pal. I was at that semi final that Joe lydon kicked the drop goal that either Phil Clarke or Eddie StHemmings mentions over and over.

It was a period of time when football hooliganism was prevalent.
Gang looking for fights like packs of wolves.
Genuinely scared pal....but Wire fans were doing the same to Wigan fans.

That day was certainly a bad advert for a family day out.

I take it we did a bad blood promo then as well

I think I must be unique in thinking the bad blood promo was a good bit of tongue in cheek publicity that added sone spice.

It didn't make me want to pummel any Wigan fans anymore than hearing a little mix song makes me want to put on a leather bra and stockings.

If there were some.idiots shaming their clubs, thats a real shame and I hope they get caught but don't blame a bit of harmless promotion. It got 13000 fans in and the atmosphere was great, certainly better than the lunar-like vibe at the DW these days.

I love your posts morrissey. Little mix. Lol

No

Bring back the birch.

Blaming the promotion takes the responsibility away from those starting these fights. ‘It’s not my fault I kicked that bloke on the floor, I saw a dodgy promotion.’

How anyone could give a better argument against that.

Loads of agro in those days. I remember the Old Ball Yachting Club...I think they turned up to that game wearing the head rest covers off the coach on their heads lol

I remember being chased round the slag heaps (literally) of Featherstone in the mid 70’s. I had hoped those days had been left well behind. The Warrington Guardian report suggests this was more a case of mouthing off rather than physical violence, I certainly hope that was the case.
