Many similar stories to that BCT over the years. The older blokes typically mention that game at BP when they went up and then the one when we turned a 2 goal deficit to a 3 goal win at Stamford Bridge.
Hardly ever get the “why the fackin ell do you support them” response (only from Cockney Reds or the like). Usually it’s “pwoper faans of a pwoper fatball clab”. (Apologies to any southerners 😁)

That 3-2 win is probably one of the best games I ever witnessed but couldn't really enjoy as I had to watch it in with the Chelsea fans At the end of the game they were outraged..... "fackin losing to them northern waaankers" and all I could do was agree in my best Mockney, "yeah fackin disgaasting wasn't it"

Couple of my house mates at Uni were Chelsea fans and asked me if I wanted to go up with them. “No chance. Don’t wanna get stuffed on the pitch and off it.” They came back that evening flabbergasted and impressed by Fordy.

I got stopped at Sloane Square tube station on a Saturday morning last year with my GTFC shirt on, i went into a pub down the Kings Road, obviously full of Chelsea fans, so many comments about a club bringing 5,000 fans on a Tuesday night and taking over the old shed end, said to me many times in that pub, you've got bigger support than most Premier league clubs that come here by miles, my head swelled so much I couldn't get out the door.
I got stopped by a group of 7-8 blokes built like brick shithouses while wearing my town shirt in Serbia a few years ago. I shat myself at first, but 3 of them who spoke good English said to me with big smiles on their faces "Grimsby Town, yes?". Ended up having a good 30 min chat with them and they knew more about town than some town fans do. Turned out they were Partizan Belgrade fans and town are the English team they support as we both play in black and white stripes. Was a bit surreal as we said our goodbyes and parted ways, they walked off chanting "mariners"

WHY do you have to come on here and spoil? It's great playing Chesterfield. Two proper clubs and it feels like a derby game when we play as the matches are always well attended at both grounds with great atmosphere. Whatever have you got against us?

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Old bill going around rounding up town supporters, taking them to the ground to bake in the sun two hours before kick-off. I had tickets in the side stand, they called it seating, well it was a long wooden bench. Myself and my mate managed to dodge the old bill and found a pub to hideout, had a meal and a few beers, before being marched off to the ground. They could have been another football diaster that day, the way old bill were acting.
