That was the year (I’m pretty sure), when we went out of the FA Cup in the first round, beaten 0 – 1 at home by Barnsley.
The train from Donny was late, and it looked like they had very few supporters. Some Scunny fans attempted to get at them, and then suddenly they turned up in droves.
Long story short, a few of our lads got battered, as we suffered the humiliation of being kicked out of the Donny Road end, and having to crowd into the little corner. Only a load of police with dogs and truncheons stopped them getting at us after that.
I was only 13 at the time, stayed to the end. Don’t know why, it was embarrassing.
