Idea taken off another forum but heyho.

What's the most bizarre incident that you've seen or experienced at a Town match?

On a personal note after following Town on and off for over 40 years mine was earlier this season when I was picked out by a Comsec agent and marched to stadium manager Nick Dale by the stewards.
They quickly realised I was innocently using my mobile, the club wasn't happy about it.

A similar thing happened to a Hull fan...

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Playing away at Harrogate in the FA Cup a few years ago, pre match I was in the queue at the Burger Van and out of the corner of my eye noticed Josh Gowling and Andy Monkhouse stood behind me perusing the menu.

They ordered a burger and coffee each and after receiving said refreshments, promptly hopped back over the railing and rejoined the pre-match warm up with the rest of the squad.

Luckily they were subs that day, which I imagined was the reason they did what they did, seemed a bit odd anyway.

A Norwich  player picked up a bottle than had been thrown into the pitch and threw it back into the crowd and hit a young Norwich supporter nearly causing a riot.
