The first (and only?) time I went in there, everyone had a nose like a compass...and that was just the women! It reminded me of the pub that used to be outside Tilbury Town station, once mentioned in the Daily Telegraph as the hardest pub in Britain. No sooner had said article been printed, when every Scally from the east End and beyond, descended on the establishment. Hasten to say it is not there anymore!!!

cor that was a big crowd then, I remember the 80's, playing for the Reserves one night at Lower Mead, Mark Lilly went to take a corner and the Wealdstone fans were all gobbing at him! He sh*t himself and took a quick one! What about when Barrow came down and it was all off outside the Southbury? Why am I talking about these things?

 

Fruitbat lost more than his glasses I reckon!!!

I remember that one. A massive snow-clearing exercise beforehand, I think. Steve King scored after 17 seconds and Noel Ashford (?) made it 2-0 little more than a minute later.

 

I think Peter Taylor was in the Chelmsford side. Steve Oliver certainly was.

Or, indeed if Graham Roberts' clearance that just shaved his own crossbar had been a foot or so lower. That really would have been sweet <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Or if Justin Gentle hadn't missed a last minute penalty in the opening game of the season at Molesey.

I used the Hayes game because by scoring the penalty the points would not have changed ie EFC would still have lost but the goals scored column would have and thus the ultimate destination of the title.

But yes, to be fair, you could pick a number of "if only's" throughout a season which would have changed events. Nothing can be done about it now but good to discuss.... that's what these forums should be - healthy, mass, debate I say!

The riot at Yeovil that I remember was a 1-0 win for EFC. I think John Richardson scored it. Unfortunately Hayes won (3-0?) at Carshalton that day and had a goal difference ONE better than Enfield's, and thus went up.


It was definately the 1-0 win when the crowd trouble occured. The 8,000+ crowd & 2-2 draw was the following season. By the way, there was a police presence when the Yeovil fans invaded the pitch. However, the old bill simply stood and watched for the most part. They did finally arrest one guy for throwing a corner flag into the crowd!

Drip fed if my hazy memory is correct.
Never a great idea to base your support amongst the players mates, when new players come in they might not have any!!!.


Did I base our support on that? Best take away the parents as well then.......

Drip fed........more like open taps!

I was chatting to Dave the skinhead (don't know his surname) on the way to the Boreham Wood match about a week after the 2-2 at Yeovil. Apparently, there was crowd trouble in the car park. Dave and a few others (Fred and Fruitbat, I think, could be wrong) got set upon by about 30 Yeovilites.

Its True. It was Pitch Dark, but due to Dave singing 'Georgie Borgs Blue&White Army', about a dozen of them jumped us at my car. Dave & Fred disappeared under a mound of Sheep Shaggers, and I was tangled up with a couple more. They used Daves head to reshape the side of my car, and threw a 2BY4 through the windscreen. Luckily Dave found a can of Some sort of Spray in his pocket, and doused them all in it. This dealt with several of them, and we proceded to kick the sh*t out of the remainder.

Fortunately for them, the Filth turned up and they slunk off into the darkness.

We drove home with me driving all the way home, looking through the hole they had made.
