Massive racism, awful facilities, appalling pitches, ever-present threat of violence...not-so-great-memories. The "threat of violence" was not as prevalent as that through the 80s, not at AG, because we spent all but one of the ten seasons dawdling in the two lowest divisions, where the visitors to AG were often York, Darlington, Southend, Bury, Walsall, Lincoln, Gillingham etc who "travelled light" and didn't do much in the way of that sort of thing, whereas in the top two divisions things are more lively and frequent in that department. Visits from Millwall, Pompey, Villa, Sheffield Weds and Utd, West Ham being notable exceptions. Most of the 80s was York, Southend, Bury and Gillingham, in front of 5,700 people, waiting for us to get our act together, which took until the end of the decade. Some of the away games were pretty bad, though, certainly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit by Millwall around '84/5 sticks in my mind Games against the Sags could be pretty rum affairs, e.g. Devon White (IIRC) getting bananas chucked at him Going to watch us at the IKEA stadium for an evening game was quite something when you're 15...!

Yup. I cycled to the game, rode along the river, crossed a bridge to be confronted by the Plod escorting hundreds of Millwall fans from Temple Meads. I have never ridden so fast in my life.
