Probably not as bad as Covent Garden 1991 v the skates.

It was very unfriendly for the blue few.

CS gas cannisters in through the window in the nags head in Covent Garden .. I was 17 .. the punch & Judy balcony was like saloon bar fight from a spaghetti western!

Brilliant today, the singing on the train, after the final whistle... on the way back!

We may have not got the result we wanted, but that was arguably the most fun day at Wembley/London i've personally had. Great mixing with fans of other teams in the centre of London, especially the Derby fans in Covent Garden.

We travelled back from Victoria and shared the carriage with some Pompey supporters returning from Stoke. No issues but gentle banter.

Just think of it as character building, poor kids these days are starved of this kind of nostalgia - 3D Mortal Kombat!

Not this lot then

 

apparently were on the earlier Reading trading - got gobby (no surprises there then) and took a few smacks (even less of a surprise).

Bet the Skates are in tears reading that. Telling anyone who listens that they took a million fans to Wembley and our support is shit.
