Worst place you have visited following QPR

[QPR Richard]

yup, and one or two will remember the off pitch action vs Luton in the old days

I remember "encounters" in the arndale centre.

one of ours got cut to pieces during one melee....i got my new harlequin stylee leather jacket slashed by a black mig but managed to put him on his behind where a breach of the peace was occasioned!

Good thread this, Chesterfield, Roker park, the old den, Maine road, Luton, Plough lane, elm park all khazis of the highest order, but going away in them days was good fun, proper grounds with an air of tension.

Must say Port Vale the season we went there in a six pointer was a proper slum

Burnt out cars on the street, derelict buildings which had been abandoned for years really was a proper s hithole it was like a mix between Beirut and Belfast during the troubles

Remember we got there early and went for a wander to see what was about but no matter what direction we went there was nothing of note.



Horrible place glad I have only done it the once

I must say west as a very long thread you hit the nail on the head !! That day in Burslem was an eye opener!!! And in boom time self cert mortgage heaven Blair larging it up... And still it was like the place in the Ghost Town video crossed with Beirut with a touch of seventies Belfast..the only thing more rotten was Steve Slade that day!

[Factamondo]

and the skinny rangers lad running a cross the pitch n straight into their chaps in the side!

[QprQpr]

Luton hands down, proper shite hole and still is to be fair, populated by lots of Islamic extremists.

[Bracknell Neil]

Yes facto certainly not a hooligan just ....... Lost it... Looked like a back street accountant!!

At the time although quite bemused as why a James Taylor lookalike would resort to such tactics... Couldn't have had domestic bliss before he left his semi!!

That's the one gents. I remember that day like yesterday had been out in West Ealing in I think the Drayton the night before until early hours at a party. Not sure why I went home as got no more then couple of hours kip then got woken abruptly looked at time and though oh s hit got 45mins to get to bush and catch the coach. Got to vale and it really was like an abandoned country. As said earlier went for a wander and the locals were straight on it and after the game was a proper free for all not for the faint hearted those there will know what im getting at

Remember that dude doing the pitch and heading straight for the vale fans whole away end was roaring giving it 'go on go on' then wallop as he reached them. If memory serves me right were the horses not surrounding the pitch well before the final whistle or am I imaging it???

[West Acton]

You know what gents this thread shows many of us on this forum have shared the same experiences and been same obscure games together without actually knowing each other so many stories of people saying I was there and I remember that

[West Acton]

You know what I am going to throw Bristol City in the mix as well. Done it loads of times and every time you get around Ashton Gate the surrounding area has declined a little bit more. Horrible trek from the station to the ground and if you get involved in the escort after the game you looking at an hour easily being frog marched back to the station along the river

Bristol fans never the most hospitable either so the worst of both worlds

[loneranger]

Remember a long walk back to the station with an escort one year and '30pence' kept popping up. Was either the year before or after when I got involved in blue on blue outside the away end after the game.

Went rovers with my ol man and a cple of his work mates in his van as a 12/13 year old-might have been a cup game? And remember there was fighting outside the away end after the game. Used to go to the drayton some sunday mormings for a game of cards with my uncles-early 90's.
