I wish it was me! Only joking. I DO wish I'd seen it though.  I remember the first time we played Leeds in the Prem at the Valley (Rufus sent off, Morts missed pen, drew 1-1) I actually missed my cousin's wedding to go with my wife. I was a season ticket holder then, but my Dad had gone to the wedding so we nicked his ticket and got the train from London Bridge. Problem was, we were miserable as sin because we really needed to win that game, and but for Morts' slip and the width of the goalpost, we would have done. Then, there's me and the wife, standing on the London-bound platform of Charlton station absolutely CRAMMED with Leeds fans. We stayed pretty quiet, let me tell you.  Then, this group of about 7 leary young Charlton fans on the other platform started yelling abuse at the Leeds lot. God, it was so embarrassing - proper men against boys if there ever was such a thing. The Leeds mob were all old pros, and were laughing at these stupid 'cockney' juveniles. Then, after about 3 minutes of it, the Charlton kids started singing 'come and have a go if you think you're hard enough'! I looked at the wife and said "They've had it now". Almost immediately, the two foremost (gigantic) Leeds fellas had jumped off the platform onto the track and were on their way over. You've gotta believe me when I tell you this - I have NEVER... EVER in my entire life seen people move SO DAMN FAST. The Leeds boys had barely made it halfway between the platforms and their 'opponents' had disappeared to the safety of the crowds at the back.  They turned around, arms held high, and climbed back onto the platform before the police had a chance to see who had done what... I couldn't resist a little smile, despite the fact that these cretins had associated themselves with our great club. But as the Leeds throngs continued to sing 'Back to school on Monday', it was an experience I knew I'd never forget. Some people are just SO pathetic, they deserve to be laughed at!  |

This story is nothing compared to my day from hell when we played Blackburn away a couple of years ago, it was the day that we had 4,000 there thanks to the free travel.
Anyway there I was on the train reading the sun fully expecting to jump off at the next stop but one...Blackburn then as the train pulled in to the next station.....Darwin most fans headed for the doors so I through my paper onto the seat next to me and did the same.
Unfortunately the sudden and unexpected change of alighting meant that in my hastiness the newspaper landed on top of my mobile phone and wallet that were on the seat as the guard had only just come around asking for tickets.
On arriving at a bookies en route to Ewood Park to put my football bets on I then realised ehat I had done, by this time the train was well on it's way to Blackpool South!!
There was nothing I could do, luckily I had a scrumpled up tenner with about £7 pound in loose change in my pocket and that God that was where my match ticket and train tickets were too, as for the phone and wallet containing £100, well they were gone.
So into the game I went an at 4.40pm that day the afternoon got even worse. Blackburn scored to put the game beyond us an in my frustration I turned round and back handed the seat breaking my little finger in the process but worst still my watch came fling off and it stopped dead at 4.40pm.
On leaving the ground I trudged back the way I came and called into the same bookies to see how my £5 accumalator got on, they all came up and I was waiting on Macclesfield at home to Accrington and Accrington fecking equalised in injury time!!
True story that, and I feckin still hate that day to this one, still have the watch unrepairable but still showing 4.40pm!! as for the phone and wallet, it was handed in at Blackpool station 4 days later after I had put the shits up some thief warning them that it had a chip in it telling me of it's location!!! The wallet finally arrived too......empty!!!

My god Reams! What'd you done earlier in the day to warrant luck like that? Did the first half of your story read something like this? "Dear Diary. Today I deliberately broke 8 mirrors, liberally scattered salt all over the room (but none over my shoulder), wrote the number '13' thirteen times across the front of my chest, then took my black cat to the train station. On the way there, I walked under several ladders." Love you Reams!  |

Honestly it was a day from hell and true word for word. I can laugh about it now but I was devastated at the time, my finger took nearly a year to be free from pain, I won't be rushing back to Ewood Park anytime soon believe me |
