Im not condoning violence but im sure there has been some passionate outbursts every now and then.

============================================
Loads of times during the 70,s

carnt remeber who it was against but we had just scored a try everybody was jumping up and down with enjoyment and through the air hurtling towards me came a wrist watch

it caught me a glancing blow on the side of the head. the gent whos watch it was was very aplagetic but at least we won the game

I got hit with a plastic bottle towards the end of the Choo Choo Cup Final when we played Dull KR at Blackpool (but it was worth it).

I was just getting to Rochdales ground with my then 6 year old son when a coach of HKR fans decided to open the back door or the coach and throw cans and plastic bottles at us.

No but I was pushed in the back by a frothing maniacal Begby lookalike and also squared up to by an ageing teddy boy rocker both times for applauding a referee's decision, both Whitehaven fans and both incidents taking place at the Recre' at separate games

Anyone remember the trouble at Hilton park in 1997 when we beat you in the silk cut challenge plate semi?

You'd have to be punch drunk to watch Leigh nevermind being punched!




Be gentle on me, it is the season of good will

Shouldn't you be on the Rochdale site

Not for a few weeks yet


St Pats site at the moment

Glad it's not just us who have problems up there

I remember several , but the one that tickles me is an incident on the way home from an Owdham away game in the mid 80s ( and I think Mo was there )

Our Plover driven battle bus van accidentaly cut a car full of boy racers up at some traffic lights then at the next red light 4 bits of kids got out of the car to have it out with our chocalate fireguard driver when the side door of the battle bus slid open and 30 p1ssed up Leythers fell on to the road and started rocking the offending car



One must have been Usain Bolt because Ive never anyone run that fast and his mate must have been Jenson Button as that car was like off a shovel straight through a red light



Wheres a cop when you want one ......Fred


Mo can tell you the tales of the Wires away and the shinanaginns of the Stains cup semi at Wigoon

Anyone told you the score for last week for 2nd teams ?....... was it 84-0

Mid 80's

Either traffic at Leigh or else Leigh Custody office, nowhere near Oldham

C'mon Fred ypu must have blagged the boss into beleiving that you were chasing suspects to where ever Leigh played that weekend and had to run after them for an hour and half








Im going bed now and Ill catch at the match tomorrow Fred

Thought you were confirming East's score v St. Pats for a minute there!!

Shared many an hour with Ken Bates in the scoreboard on a Sunday afternoon with traffic car radio on full though or else on enquiries in Glebe St

Was that before he bought Chelsea?

Plate semi-final (cant remember the year) against hull kr in the tommy sale stand...... lets just say that he come off worse than me





..... police invaded the stand and how I didn't go in the back of the van beggars belief

We was all young omce and I`ve learnt from my mistakes......quiet lad now

mid 80s against wigan at scoreboard end.

a heated exchange of views caught me off guard and a damn wigganer got me with a headbutt.
worst of all turned out he lived in leigh and he apologised week later in woolpack pub

Yes but the 1st team disposed of Leigh Miners at Twist lane a couple of weeks ago, that makes better reading

Thought I'd met you somewhere before - never did get my Rolex watch back

Must admit to seeing a few 'faces' who come on here during my 'time' down there

86 - 90 I was 'down in the dungeon' Oh happy days

Any of you owder uns remember the 1971 cup semi at Wiggin against Huddersfeild (Kop end) went off big time. Wiggin fans not Hudds fans. Police dogs and everything.
