tam fae kofta Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Way back in the 1970's I went to quite a few East Fife and Raith Rovers home games as a neutral. I went to Old Trafford to watch Man U v Dundee United in a European game (went to the return game at Tannadump too). Cannae mind the year. Cardiff v Barnsley and Newport v Millwall back in the 80's I'm visiting Kraków in a couple of weeks, so planning to go to Wisła Kraków v Zawisza Bydgoszcz Edited February 22, 2015 by tam fae kofta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Total football addict and been to 100s of games as a neutral over the years.

Huddersfield Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Newport v Millwall back in the 80's I bet that was a nice quiet afternoon on the terraces. Somerton Park on any day was a hellish place to visit never mind when Millwall were in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal smith Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I was hearts end so I saw the whole game have been to loads, did a season where i tried to tick off all the Scottish Grounds in one season before my wife put her foot down around March time so i did see a lot as a netural. Have been to loads of others, the stand outs are probably Dundee United 5-0 Aberdeen, one one where Windass got sent off several times, was in the Aberdeen end that day and it was a great laugh St Johnstone 2 United 3 - the season United were nearly relegated and came back from 2-0 down, was in the Saints end that day as were hundreds and hundreds of united fans. Newcastle 4 Troyes 4 in the intertoto cup final, think newcastle went out on away goals after a late comback but the atmostphere was amazing England 1 Portugal 1 - portugal win on penalties, had a lot of fun that day sitting in between my English wife and English brother in law St Johnstone 2 United 0 - cup final last season, was a great day Ipswich 5 Bolton 3 - second leg of the play off semi after a 2-2 draw, Burleys Ipswich staged a late recovery to beat a 9 an bolton team in extra time, Ipswich 4 Barnsley 2 - The final, think it was the last at the old wembley, was a great day Oxford 3 York 1 - Conference play off final at Wembley, first visit to the new Wembley and was great being in the 35,000 strong Oxford end Man Utd 3 Man City 1 - league cup semi, Man Utd won 4-3 on aggregate think it was tevez first game back at old trafford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittymeister Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Gretna v Morton - Gretna's first game in the Scottish League. Elgin v Morton - drove all the way from Edinburght listening to the radio as games were being cancelled but luckily the game went on. I lived in London in the late 80s and used to go and watch QPR and Chelsea as they were the closest grounds to where I lived. Chelsea were in the old second division and were rubbish.

Fairbairn Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Loads of Aberdeen games in the 90s. My mate was a Dandie and didn't get up to Pittodrie often so anytime they played in the Glasgow area I'd go along with him if Rangers weren't at home. One that sticks in my mind is a game at Parkhead that was abandoned after about half an hour because of fog! Was also at St Mirren's 87 semi and final although I being a Linwood boy I wasn't really neutral there and was routing for the Buds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintlyscot Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Most memorable was an evening Copa del Rey game between Tenerife and Athletico Madrid in Santa Cruz around 1999. It was a full house and I was sat in the back row of an open stand. The view down to the pitch created a nauseous feeling. Half time came with Tenerife winning 1-0and every light in the stadium went out. We sat in total darkness for about 20 mins with only flickers from lighters. Eventually power was restored and Athletico came back to win 2-1 thanks to the most biased refereeing display I have ever seen. Turned out the Unelco electricity company only turned the power back on when an outstanding bill was settled in cash at halftime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caledonian1 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hooligan!! aha i did think someone may pick up on that........however, there is always the likelihood of trouble at : Old and Infirm cup finals, a match at which Chelsea get relegated and the Santiago derby (fans were lighting fires in the terracing then throwing burning wooden planks (from seating) at the riot police) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Been to Hundreds. I used to work at Loftus Road on match days when I moved to London in 1990 so have seen many games. I was at Sampdoria v Barcelona European cup final In 1992. I used to go to games at various London clubs But don't bother anymore. I prefer to go and watch Rugby at London Scottish.

redstevie007 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Been to a few over the years, particularly early to mid-nineties when I was living in High Wycombe. Went to a few Wanderers games, and a few at Highbury and White Hart Lane. Been to Anfield and St James' Park. Great atmosphere at The Dell, but I hated Stamford Bridge, The Den and Elland Road. Craziest by far was Plymouth-Exeter at Home Park. Absolute bedlam inside and outside the ground, pitch invasion, the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
