It was very scary back then in the 70's and 80's. I recall all of these games, Northampton, Pompey, Millwall etc.
Saying that Swindon was not a scary place to visit I would disagree. I know for a fact that Millwall and Pompey two of the worst clubs for nutcases following their clubs loved coming to Swindon as they would always be guaranteed some action.
I also recall when a Plymouth fans was killed at Swindon.
So glad I can take both my young lads without the hassle that went on those decades before. I even took my 9 year old to the Pox JPT game without any problem.
How ironic that the only time I was ever actually hit at a football game were by Swindon skinheads along the Manchester Road after an Oxford game as I made my way back to the station.....bastards.

Donkey jackets, combat trousers, doc martin boots, scarfes around the wrist, home made banners made from sheets to wrap around shoulders, ring any bells?
Then came the skinhead era ,scary!!!
Think you might have that a bit arse about face mate. Proper "skinhead era" was from 68 til 71 ish. |

My first encounter with skinheads, was Jan 67 at the Boleyn Ground...bit of an eye opener for us Swindon boys. |

Bastard Town Fans, me too. In my case leaving the Fulham (Best, Moore and Marsh etc) v Town FA Cup third round 3-3 at Craven Cottage Someone from behind nicked my Fulham-ish navy and white bobble hat, I turned round demanding it back and took a few hits and kicks with my mate We left it at that (wisely in my case) teacup, paperbag and all that |

was at this one, town fan got stabbed before the game, after the game it went mental cars being rolled, fighting all over, the police did'nt have a clue
I was at that game too. It's one of only 2 games I've ever really been scared at a football match - the other one was a home game against Millwall, in the early 80s. Not that anything much happened against Millwall as I recall - I was just a young boy and scared because of their reputation. |

Didn't go to the away game, but was at the replay at the CG, wasn't it 5-1! Your story of the bobble hat was pretty much the same as what happened to me at Higbury ( the Billy Tucker equaliser game ) except I was with my brother in law ( a huge bloke ) so when he growled at them they gave it back very quickly. Think there was quite a lot of trouble that night in and around our end. Highbury was a strange ground, terraced houses with gaps here and there where the turn styles were. |
