Im not condoning violence but im sure there has been some passionate outbursts every now and then.

============================================
Loads of times during the 70,s

carnt remeber who it was against but we had just scored a try everybody was jumping up and down with enjoyment and through the air hurtling towards me came a wrist watch

it caught me a glancing blow on the side of the head. the gent whos watch it was was very aplagetic but at least we won the game

I got hit with a plastic bottle towards the end of the Choo Choo Cup Final when we played Dull KR at Blackpool (but it was worth it).

I was just getting to Rochdales ground with my then 6 year old son when a coach of HKR fans decided to open the back door or the coach and throw cans and plastic bottles at us.

No but I was pushed in the back by a frothing maniacal Begby lookalike and also squared up to by an ageing teddy boy rocker both times for applauding a referee's decision, both Whitehaven fans and both incidents taking place at the Recre' at separate games

Anyone remember the trouble at Hilton park in 1997 when we beat you in the silk cut challenge plate semi?

You'd have to be punch drunk to watch Leigh nevermind being punched!




Be gentle on me, it is the season of good will

Shouldn't you be on the Rochdale site

Not for a few weeks yet


St Pats site at the moment

Glad it's not just us who have problems up there

I remember several , but the one that tickles me is an incident on the way home from an Owdham away game in the mid 80s ( and I think Mo was there )

Our Plover driven battle bus van accidentaly cut a car full of boy racers up at some traffic lights then at the next red light 4 bits of kids got out of the car to have it out with our chocalate fireguard driver when the side door of the battle bus slid open and 30 p1ssed up Leythers fell on to the road and started rocking the offending car



One must have been Usain Bolt because Ive never anyone run that fast and his mate must have been Jenson Button as that car was like off a shovel straight through a red light



Wheres a cop when you want one ......Fred


Mo can tell you the tales of the Wires away and the shinanaginns of the Stains cup semi at Wigoon
