fulham "firm"

[Alan Partridge]

I can only imagine the carnage the Reading and Fulham firms caused. Apparently someone got hit by some organic green beans during the melee and another one got a rumblestick in the eye.

This was a clash between what must be the 2 most middle class football clubs in the land. Hardly going to be trouble.

This. I saw a man wearing a cravat today.

My Fulham supporting mate calls this fixture "El Middle Classico"

anyone else see the the group of danny dyers just pass the buses running into reading fans shouting come on then and trying to hit people. Absolute muppets trying to intimidate dads with their children, the police were just round the corner so i hope they got arrested.

Ignoring all of the hilarious comments that people have added to this thread regarding clashes of the middle classes, I did actually see the 'trouble' that you are referring to.

It looked to me like a group of middle aged Fulham fans (not representative of Fulham fans as a whole, who seem to be well behaved) were walking toward the buses after the game and were looking to start something. I saw one Fulham fan punch a Reading fan in the face and, as far as I could see, there was no provocation or reaction.

Yeah I saw that, someone threw a rock at the Fulham fan after the punch and then ran towards b&q.

I would like to confirm that this was definetly the scorpions. I bumped into a few of the "Young Scorps" after the game who told me about the massive tear up

Someone fell over and scuffed their knees. The wet wipes were out in an instant with their mums dabbing their hankies in their mouths. Positively poised it was.

There was trouble before the game in the town centre and the buses didn't run until later - bloke next to me didn't get in until 3.25 as there was trouble outside the station but apparently it was Chelsea fans and not Fulham

In all fairness, there was a pwoper nawty kerfuffle down Acre Road after we played Keegan's Fulham at home in 1999. This was in the days before the A33 had opened and it was the only route away from the ground. It was a brief, but nasty, period of windmilling. Likewise, in 1992, a few of them came onto the pitch after an evening game at Elm Park (as ever the Southbank emptied sharpish).

They might be, largely, a soft lot, but they always bring a few lads to our place for some reason.

Pah, remember the old skool proper bundle in Town End for a League Cup match in c '75. *EDIT: Just checked it was 16 Aug 1972. 1-1 draw.

Fulham and Old Bill have a right old tear up, Plod helmets flying all over the gaff and bodies writhing like a swarm of bees across the terrace - funnily enough, near the entrance to the Town End and not the Southbank and snack shed side.

Had a proper view of it from A block with my old man.

Was a bit tasty in 1970 on the South Bank too. Mate of mine got hit on the head with a (hurled) salt-pot - how cruet!

Wait until we get to play Middle Klass Dons, I reckon that could top it!
