Wannabee Bailey I think the Fulham dust up was the appetiser for main event against Liverpool Gerry Byrne sparked with a left hook and the jumping up giving big Ron Yeates the Glasgow kiss which was hilarious when you consider he was giving about a foot in height.
Can't remember the game, but in the mid 1990s, watching the mascot for the day coming out onto the pitch, wearing his full kit, with the players at the start of the match. - some middle aged bald bloke, alongside Liam Daish (IIRC, who was pi55ing himself laughing). Got plenty of stick from the crowd but very funny.
Apparently it was a 50th birthday present from his family.

You can stick your Maccarone up your a**e, when he turned up for Middlesbrough after choosing to join them rather than us was good.
1982 , the European champions rocking up against us on boxing day, their fans predicting 6 and 7 goal wins to them, watching them all sneaking out after being humbled by little small heath 3-0, the pubs that night were Villa free, their fans cried for months and hid away
I can't even recall Who we were playing but My login bbtl is short for "Bring back the ladder". Here's why.
Some dullard had left a ladder at the back of the kop. This was pulled out and it was stuck against the crash barriers and a load of fans started climbing up it, hanging off it and generally mucking about. It was then used like a scarf and given a rendition of you'll never walk a lone or some such.
The old bill didn't like this and came trotting up the kop to try and retrieve it.
This prompted a game of cat n mouse or rather kops v the kop. The fans started passing the ladder over their heads with the police running around trying to get it. All the while the kop were singing "you'll never take the ladder, you'll never take the ladder" when they finally did get the ladder they marched down to the touch line with the ladder on their shoulders and the kop fired up with "Oh bring back, oh bring back, oh bring back our ladder to us to us"
Yes the nutter in the paddock was hillerious.
The relagation party on the Tilton after the game v Arsenal ( I think) in 78 or 79.
Hundreds of us still doing the dying fly at 5.30 & other crazy things.
We were mentioned in most of the Sunday papers how mad we were.
IIRC

I came here to write exactly that .I was about 10 so 50 years ago or thereabouts .glad someone else remembered this
Can’t remember against who but they were giving away Linda McCartney pies before and during the game, most of which were dripping down the walls after one bite…all except one which caught a lino who’d been shit all game square in the face.
The look of bewilderment and anger in his face was priceless
I think we were playing Bury who had Grobbelaar in goal. We got a pen and he picked up the penalty spot and put it on his head. Pretty sure we still scored tho
