One thing you've only ever done once at a game... 00:46 - Apr 15 with 3883 views

Just read somebody mention about the one and only time they were ever "talked to" by a steward at a game and thought that could be a good idea for a thread.

So I'll start with getting on the pitch after the draw with Hull in our promotion season. A result which cruelly denied us the chance of confirmed promotion but ran on the pitch anyway.

Could be anything like once turned up for a game sober etc etc...

Tried to attack three Leeds fans in 2015, found out the week before the ex had been seeing a bloke from Yorkshire, they were in the west paddock and their accent sent me over the edge. The caveat I had was I was on anti depressants as the ex mrs had told my doctor I was paranoid, you aren’t meant to stop taking them straight away which I did as I realised I didn’t need them and lost the plot totally for a few weeks. Got banned for the rest of the season and told I was lucky the stewards who I’ve known for years put in a good word for me as the club wanted to ban me for five years!!
Anyhow won’t do that again.

Started a pitch invasion.
I was about 11.
86/87 season. Playing Man U. In the Paddocks when it was terraced. Over crowded. My dad told me to get on the pitch. Game was just about to kick off. I was first one on the pitch then other dad's who were standing at the front lifted their kids Over, then loads of others jumped over. All got escourted to the other sites of SA stand where they kept it empty for some reason. Then half time they took us through the tunnel near the dug out and got us seats in the loft. Can't remember the score. I think it was 1-1.

Stood in the shed at Chelscum for our game when I went with a mate in the late 1980's (chelshit fan, but at least was there when they were shit).

We scored and I automatically started to cheer and jump around a bit before having to turn it into sweary outburst and comical anger. My mate explained to several retarded bald headed economy sized racits around me I had tourettes and couldnt help my outbursts when I got agitated. Surprisingly sympathetic to me for the rest of the game when I went into a slight meltdown when they equalised.

Been in the shed end about 93. With my mate who was Chelsea. Last game of the season against Sheffield Wednesday. Mass pitch invasion at the end. They used to park cars between the shed and the pitch back then for some reason. A couple got wrecked as fans jumped all over them. Cue old bill.

I stood on the shed for a few of our games with my Chelshite mate,including the one where Speedie went in goal,and the milk cup game,but we had to leave for work on 90 minutes.Just as well because there’s no way I could’ve kept quiet when Robinson scored from the halfway line.
I also sat with him in the loft when Furlong scored their winner on the last minute.I almost hit him myself.

Touched the match ball.

We played Torquay in a replay at their place one night and we’re hanging on to a lead. Just! I simply had to nip out for a quick gypsy’s and as I came out the bogs, Torquay put one over the goal and the away end. It came bouncing toward me - killed it instantly.

Whereupon SonofNortholt bellows in an animated Warnockesque fashion from the back of the stand, to ‘hold the ball’. So I did a little keepy-uppy, ran their clock down and kicked the ball back into the stand by the corner flag.

I think I got 6 in the players’ ratings as well.

Only other time I came near to a match ball, was when my dad and I took swift action to avoid a clearance into the Loft from Bob Hazell. Alas the ball went straight into a little kids face.

When I was in the Met working at the match I clobbered this Irish fella who was celebrating too much.

Anyway he wrote a complaint and I got the sack.

Got him back though, because I saw him selling a fanzine some time after and I paid with a fiver that I’d kept in my arse crack all day.

I did some stewarding at Derby's Baseball Ground. There was a group of Derby fans swearing profusely. One was about 6' tall and about 5' wide with muscles in his spit. SO, spoke to some of the others and went to confront the group, suggesting they tone the language down.
For the last 15 minutes I heard comments like
" I don't think you got that decision correct, referee"
and "that was jolly unlucky"
Every comment was matched with them looking over to me.
I reckon they had more fun in the last 15 minutes than in the previous 75.

Only once got chucked out of a ground. White Hart Lane around 1989/90.

15 minutes to go and the game poised at 1-1. I was on the terrace behind the goal and everyone around me were being very boisterous even so far as reminding Ossie Ardiles (before he played for us) rather rudely of his country of origin.

My crime was to be shouting out "c'mon ranger for fks sake..." or "fking 'ell Rangers...." that was it. Nothing abusive towards opposition players but i guess being 5' 7" made it easy for the copper to pick on me rather than the rather larger lads around me.
I got taken down the front, through the gate in the fence and escorted around the perimeter of the pitch and down the tunnel.
I noticed that someone had signed in the book under the name of Mickey Mouse.
Me being good ol' honest me signed my real name and address. Nothing came of it though.

Made the long walk back to Seven Sister underground much easier and the game ended up 1-1 anyway.

Oh, sorry for the poor little kid.

For a few years, I was a carer for a disabled fan, and we sat in the front row of the Loft. During one warm-up, Adel sent a thumping shot, just wide of the goal and heading straight to the head of my companion, who had leukemia and a brain tumour. He wasn't looking but instinctively I stuck out a hand and performed a magnificent protective save. A couple of minutes later, another wayward practice thunderbolt was heading just above my head. With young kids behind me I made yet another great save with both hands, palming the ball high to safety. It was a huge laugh to hear surrounding fans sing about me, 'sign him up, sign him up!..)

In other stories about errant footballs - at the Norwich away game on the last day of the season a couple of seasons back, I was getting to my seat during the warm up, pie in hand. As I'm halfway down the steps, a clearance from Matt Ingram lands splat directly on my pie. Not happy. Matt Ingram still owes me a pie.
