It was very interesting, to stay the whole match on the north bank at that time was a great achievement. There was fighting charging and counter charging throughout as well as constant coin throwing. All the names from our area at the time were there.
Was my second away game. We sat in the seats as my Uncles had been told there was going to be a tear up. I was a little too young to understand really. It seemed like a massive crowd walking to and from the stadium and there was a lot of pushing and heaving. I remember watching the game clearly intermingled with everyone around me standing up at times as the crowd surged and parted during the fights, not that I gotcto see much even though I stood on the seat. Was impressed with the Gooners program at the time with coloured pictures of the players, I still have a copy now. Most memorably for me were the shear numbers of Charlton fans on the tube. It was absolutely heaving and the train broke down in the tunnel at one point and all the lights went out.scary for a 9 year old! Dissapointing result but no disgrace.

It was more to do with the fact that Admin go around sinking any football related thread they don't like the look of but leave stuff on here about favourite cartoon characters etc
