Only been there once, in 1977 when Peter Eastoe scored the only goal. Very few R's there, a group of Leeds lads infiltrated us and started pushing a lad with learning difficulties around I flashed my work ID at them, which looked like a warrant card and they scattered. When the real police arrived I pointed out a few of the yobs and they got nicked.
Elland rd is the only time I've genuinely shat myself at a football ground.
FA cup game there in 87. They're fans were out of control animals.
If I was PM I would put some form of steraliser in the water system up there
Horrible racist morons.It wasnt only at football either.Whenever there was trouble on holiday when I was younger you could be sur there would be some bright red suntburnt thick tw@t in a white or yellow shirt involved in it.Hate the c@nts.. edit And this was when everyone else was 'loved up'
Must have missed this on my way out. Not condoning any trouble, but there was an old bloke shouting out "it should have been two, it should have been two-o" to the Leeds fans. Sore losers. It should have been two.

I was there sat in the home end as i needed to get the early train and watched down as our boys in the away pen got battered, stood there for the 3-2 (wegerles goal) and we got clapped out the ground.
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL

I was at both too Dave. Except I was locked out in 87and if you thought it was bad inside mate(and it was) outside was like the wild fcuing west. Everyone was off their heads and not a copper in sight. They were trying to break into the Rangers end and only a small band of coppers stopped them. I saw blokes getting smacks for being London Leeds and when they got the winner the place was insane. I was up there for the weekend with my brother and his Leeds mate. We went out in the evening after and I got shitfaced ( being 17, it didn't take much) and started singing QPR songs. I was very quickly taken out and delivered back home.
Was up there when we won 1-0 when they had there terraces shut, it all kicked off at HT in the bar at the back.
Remember 10/15 mins into the game a mob of them stood up next to us all expecting likkle old QPR to shit themselves. Cue a load of Rangers standing up fronting them, they never knew whether to shit or bust.

What a difference in 1990.
Evening Liam. Honestly never been happier to get out of a town in one piece in my life, and I've been to the old den ffs
1987 was the only time I've been s*** scared at a football match. Coins being thrown into the pen. Morons trying to scale the fences at the front so that they could get at the Rs fans. We were kept in for 40 minutes. Huge copper on an even bigger horse telling us that "things were pretty ugly out there". When they finally let us go, we started chanting "keep us in, keep us in". And they won.

Maybe they have changed somewhat, or maybe I just missed it all today. I walked to the game and joined a young couple from Donny who were up for the game and using their phone GPS for directions. Then walked back and joined a Glasgow QPR fan who was great to chat to. Even talked to a Leeds guy on the train as we both got off at Peterborough and his reaction was oh well, let's get on with the next game. Never felt threatened at all, whether at the game or as we were walking out with the Leeds fans. As I said, maybe I was lucky. I also thought the banter between the two sets of fans (their's nearby) was quite good.
Went to the 82/83 game and the 87 cup game. Different times. The 87 game was something else. Electric and hostile atmosphere. The only time I've been worried at a game because stuck in that pen there was no way out. As the Leeds fans started moving into the pen next to us and descended from the kop to the right I said to an aging copper next to us what's happening here. He wasn't the least bit bothered. It all seemed more exciting in those days though less safe!
87 was mad. Went up there on TK's coach, leeds attacked the seats and got pushed back and then went for the terraces. was very thankful to OB that day. Loved the wegerle goal up there and was up there a couple of years later with a qpr/leeds mix drinking in pubs on the outskirts and had a great day
I remember about 200 of them getting scattered by about 60 Rangers down Blomfontein road in the 80's, they were knocking on peoples doors crying trying to get away

Was talking about that game last night and the h/t incident, was there.
I also went up with Chelsea 83(?), really good support from Chelsea that day, was everywhere...........
