published on The Mag about an away trip to Scarborough in pre-season where we eked out a 2-2 draw, on the eve of the seasiders making their league debut ten days later.

The other occupants of the van were split roughly 50:50, the hardcore lunatics and the wannabe football hooligans. The latter were sporting the latest designer wear of the time, the former were certainly not wearing the latest designer wear of the time. Although the lurcher hadn’t made this journey, it was nevertheless a very curious mix, the lunatics being a good few years older than the wannabe football hooligans.
Just as we were about to clamber inside the van, the driver proclaimed that there was a bunch of kids ‘over there’ and he’d already engaged them, letting them know that ‘there were someon their way shortly’. And that was it. Wham. It kicked off big time as a group of up to twenty Sheffield Wednesday came across the road and got stuck in.
