I remember they had netting that stretched down from the roof to the ground presumably to stop the Zulus throwing things. A load of them all congregating down one corner late on and it looked like there was going to be a pitch invasion.
Bit moody after that one....
The fact they had a man sent off didn’t improve the mood, was sat in seats with Blooze fans and my v pissed brother jumped up when we scored. Few punches thrown but luckily we were there with a blues mates who escorted us safely to the concourse where we watched the rest of the game standing close by police. I was sure the mob in the corner were going to invade the pitch, which they actually did the following home game against Stoke. Story goes the pitch invaders were a bunch of young kids, who completely fucked things up for older Zulus who’d taken a beating on their away trip to Stoke. The zulus organised tools in multiple car boots to be available after the game to take revenge on the Stoke firm. Because of the pitch invasion the Police held the stoke lot back after the game and ruined the Zulu plan, they weren’t happy and some of their youth took a bit of a hiding instead if the stoke lot. Ah those were the days.
Yeah we were in with the noses too. My old man got some stick when they twigged we were Albion at half time. He managed to talk his way out of it thankfully.
I genuinely couldn't give a shit about blues. They are lumped in with Stoke, Cov and Derby in terms of how much I give a shit about them. It's Villa and the Dingles only.
