This is a totally out of left field post that’s more to myself I guess… Talking about Arsenal on here the other day and their style of play reminded me of another thread,the one discussing Halo moving into the Willis glass building in Ipswich.
I searched and found the thread but I think there must have been two as I’m sure there was a post about how strong the glass was .. it is but the only thing that broke it was those lovely Arsenal “fans” it was ‘82,’83 or ‘84 can’t quite narrow it down further although I think it was a 1-0 result in all honesty one way or t’other so 82 or 83 ?
I’d actually forgotten the Arse had a reputation in the hooligan era .. it really was the dark ages in that period with half full stadiums and whispering that you liked football.. how times have changed. |  |

I remember that match. Being in the car as me and my dad drove down the road past the Willis Faber. My dad suddenly told me to get down as low as I could. Town fans one side of the road. Arsenal on the other. Rocks flying over the cars.
Luckily we avoided being hit, and the Maxi survived.

Old-time football fans - don’t know how to behave properly. |  | | |

is that the game where the Arsenal fans in the Portman Stand ripped a load of seats out and chucked them down onto Churchman's? if so I remember it, and I remember one of the culprits in the front row was the bloke who played Stu-Pot in Grange Hill. it would have been around that time, possibly a bit later |  | | |

Nov 83'. Ammo plentiful as Greyfriars was being torn down. Town right at it, Arsenal regular opponents, especially since 81's games (Easter 81; then quite early the next season). I'd had enough by kick off in 83', decided to go in Churchmans. Feck me, half time a bunch of their lot made themselves known, the older Kingfisher lads next to me went straight in. Now, these were chaps in their late 20's, with kids on crates! The crates went in, Arsenal Casuals no match for double denim Chantry boys! I get collared and thrown out! Innocent 'ish by stander! Just thrown out though, me and a few others, Arsenal put in the little lock up type room under the stand! After yet another set too at another game I was not at, a mate of mine became quite friendly with his Arsenal opponent after their court hearing! [Post edited 10 Mar 9:07]
