    Hi Charon
    Didn’t realise it was you we brought back !!
    As for Ulrika Peace and the Bolton match we were amongst the early arrivers who got pummelled at the turnstiles before the rucks in the ground ! we came out to no coaches the windows had been smashed and I think coaches had gone off to Blackpool to get fixed . We managed to get away from the ground and double back as most of those on the smashed coaches had . The Bolton management let us into their board room while we waited for replacement coaches . Met Kenneth Wolstenhome and Jimmy Armfield I think . Got home in the early hours at best - it was a long journey
    Anyway City fans got revenge at ours , but as me and a mate walked along towards Boothferry Estate their coaches stopped and they jumped out the windows and chased us . We just got over the fence of the allotments near the school - they got close but didn’t follow
    Heady days of the sort of testosterone that gets relieved by playing fort nite or mine craft on a computer now - sat on you arse with limp wrists

    That Oldham game was one of the first aways i went to, lived out of town at the time so my dad used to drive us every where, remember a couple of hours before the game while walking round the ground a small group of city lads (one has the nickname of a herb) had got into the ground and were at the back of the Oldham kop chanting city songs, don't suppose they lasted in there to long, think my first away might actually have being a pre season game away at Mansfield that season ?

    My first would be about 1965/6 away to Bournemouth but actually home to me as I lived there at the time. 1 all draw, City needed a point for promotion and Bournemouth needed one to stay up. Bournemouth had ex City winger Charlie Crickmore. We moved up here in 1968 and the first match I went to was a pre season friendly against Liverpool.
    Best and funniest (funny peculiar not funny ha ha) would be the battle of Bramall Lane. 3-sided ground still in those days. We went in the "Ferriby Parish Bus" which was considerably older than any of the players and came home with fewer windows that we set off with but some bricks that we hadn't had. Debuts for Bill Baxter and Ken Knighton, the ref calling the players together in the centre circle to tell them to calm down and the worst foul I've ever seen committed by Tony Currie on Roger deVries.

    I went to that Mansfield match - Anglo Scottish Cup - we got beat - the coach I went on only brought back three quarters of the lads as the rest had been arrested - it was usual for plod to drop you off at the city boundary well after the game had finished and told you to get yourselves home - I remember us all being in a pub before the match and all the windows got put through by Mansfield fans waiting outside - everyone one ran out and engaged and gave them the run around - after the game we ended going via York because the bus driver hadn't a clue how to get back - if I remember correctly the bus had jesus Saves across the back - I remember people opening the security door at the back and pissing on the M1 as we drove along - I remember the guy I stood with had a large white bandage on his chin because someone had glassed him in scamps the night before

    Hi again my mate Chris booked a Good News Travels coach from Hessle , he took ld them we were going shopping on the phone! Simmo and Steve Perrins joined us and we got to Mansfield early , ran through the market and there was a big scrap when their fans piled out of a Centre Bar
    Your right several of my mates got arrested at the game and the judge made an example of them as they got 6 months in Boston Detention Centre! Reclaiming peat bogs
    Well there are probably a few more interesting fun trips to relate

    My first was v Sheff Weds early 70's(boxing day from memory)

    One of my funnier ones was Man City (The 1-1 draw).Stood for 70 minutes getting abuse off a Citeh Neanderthal across the passageway,the minute my lad responded he was dragged up to the concourse.By the time I got up to the top there were coppers everywhere and they were going to arrest him!!I

    I managed to diffuse the situation and we were shown the exit but they'd radioed some Humberside coppers and they quizzed us as to why we were there(Scottish accents)...Told them I came,originally, from Hull and Driff etc.

    Walked down to Piccadilly for the train(missed the equaliser),bought a big bag of beers and wine for the train,got on the train and found our seats.We were sat across from this American couple and my lad kept nudging me?He eventually said to me "he's an actor Dad"??

    It was Henry Winkler (the Fonz)and his Personal assistant..They were heading up to Glasgow for some school visits( Henry is dyslexic and writes books for children).

    What a laugh and a piss up all the way to Glasgow Central,lovely man....Happy Days !!!(or in Henry's case Dappy Hays)!!

    Is Hull Brewery still a going concern? Used to love their draft dark mild. The bar staff used to tip all the dregs from other drinks - spirits, wine etc into the barrels which enhanced the flavour. "Top House" (The George) in Hessle were perfectionists at "tweaking" the HB mild in the '60's.

    Scottish accent eh? Methinks I may have met you, and several other Caledonians, at the Stadium of Light when GK was with us.

    The Hull Brewery Company Limited
    The company was taken over by Northern Dairies in 1972 and the name was changed again to North Country Breweries. However, by 1982, due to the decline in consumption and the changing tastes of the beer-drinking public, the parent company decided to divest and North Country Breweries was purchased by Mansfield Brewery.[6] Brewing at the Silvester Street site ceased in 1985.[1

    At the time of the Mansfield takeover there was a cartoon going round of a horse drinking out of a bucket with Hull Brewery mild on it, at the same time as pissing into a bucket with Mansfield bitter on it.

    Doesn't come up on google.
