it was roughly 4 years later when we played leeds last game or near to last game of the season. got down to the ground to buy tickets, thousands already down there, went with loads of mates this time, all out the suttons, but we were mid teenagers now, so no repeat of the chelsea game. as you say, same vibe, loads of touts again sending kids and teenagers to buy their tickets, there were actually kids getting wise to it as well and running off with their money. obviously more qpr fans this time, so not so dodgy.
gotta feeling we were followed. little pockets of chelsea going backwards and forwards along wood lane from the ground to that railway bridge. touts were sending kids and teenagers to the kiosks to buy tickets for them as well.
was there as well in that little wooden ellerslie road stand with me grandad. lovely pitch, and pitch battle outside all along south africa road as well. bought tickets for the chelsea game but me and a mate, mugged for them under the railway bridge at dalgarno gardens on the way home. terrace tickets were untraceable then.....33,000 sell out.
yep had many a few light ales with alan, jimmy m, keith, lenny etc over the years in the western, going over the match with a fine tooth comb. and you must know alans got a memory like an elephant....going back years. had a drink with him at derby this season, absolute shame what has become of him. we're all still here for him though, and thats the main thing...
