The old days in the Milton when the coppers use to stand on your boots to make sure you didn't have steel toe caps on! What's your memory? |  | | |  |

I remember a game at the old Goldstone ground where anyone wearing DM had to take them off and put them in a pile (how anyone found their pair at the end of the game!!!) or is my mind playing tricks on me, and it never happened!!!! | | | |

I remember that although I was only about 10 at the time, the days when you queued at the turnstile to pay your money, where if you stood at the front of the Milton you were only about 3 ft from the goaline, the old refreshment room for the Milton road that was by the old players tunnel under the west stand. |  |

The boys section that was a concrete box in the air looking down near to one end. Never liked the habit of older boys flicking your ears if you were in front of them.
Feet leaving the ground in the crush when the gates were opened at the final whistle.
Smiling all the way walking to the bus centre when we won! | | | |

Standing on a milk crate in the west stand so I could see at the Dell as a 10 year old. If you were near the front the smell of the linament on the players when they ran out . [Post edited 3 May 2022 11:47]

Going to evening games and walking on the terraces all round the pitch.
Getting to the ground early to get a good place and my mate's car reg being called out as about to be towed away 15 minutes to KO. (He made it back in time).
Talking to the them Labour Minister of Sport outside the ground. | | | |

Watching pissed up saints fans pissing on people infront of them in the Archers Rd end...and before you ask..I neither did or done the aforementioned disgusting behaviour.
Watching people Crawling through the turnstiles to gain free entry during the last minute charge before kick off... | |

unigate - i think - handing out mini milk cartons before a milk cup game outside the milton, the immediately became projectiles when the game kicked off.
The old Albion band round the pitch pre-kick off was something i always enjoyed as a nipper.
Also tearing up the free echo that was handed out and chucking it in the air as confetti when the players came on the pitch, you'd probably end up with a 3 year banning order for doing that now. |  | | |

I lived in Southampton during the Branfoot years.
Going to the game on a Saturday, walking back afterwards to my student digs, over the road to the shop to get the Pink paper, then out to the Uni bar to drink cider at £1 a pint.
Glorious. |  |

Seeing Wimbledon fans bring a full following, to the Dell on the day they were relegated. They were loud and singing down Archers Road on that day. They normaly just brought a few hundred fans sitting in the upper East stand. | |

After playing Stoke City when some local milkman thought it was a good idea to park his float at the top of Hill Lane full of empties, ALL of which were soon used as ammunition between the two sets of fans…..  |  |

After that game we were walking past the old Police station towards town when two Wimbledon fans came out after being released being locked up for drunken behaviour, they took one look at the group of about 10 of us and went "f**k just when we though the day couldnt get any worse" .
We took them for a couple of pints before they got the train home.
I have to say I didn't have a lot of sympathy for them, given how hard Wimbledon had tried to beat us on the final day of 1995/6 season and relegate us | |

One i remember and i'm never sure if i've made up or actually happened was a game probably round the mid/late 90s, think it was an evening game (can't remember who we were playing) and it got stopped for ages because someone was chucking balls over the east stand onto the pitch.
Probably went on for a good 5/10mins but there were tennis balls, footballs, allsorts lobbed over and onto the pitch.
Please say i didn't make that up and it actually happened? | | | |

There was always something interesting going on whenever we played Wimbledon. Those were the days!
Also remember Oldham having about 10 fans in the Archers Road end for an evening game they won 3 - 1. I'm sure Bally was manager. Le Tissier scored to make it 2 - 1. Who remembers the toilet roll thrown into the pitch from the Milton Road end when Matty scored? | |

The cage on the Archers Road end that the away fans used to be kept in in the late 70s, which Saints fans occasionally used to break into during the game, including one match I remember against Bolton. The police manning the cage door never seemed to make too much of an effort to stop them, possibly because there were usually only two of them assigned to guard it.
They used to keep one turnstile open at the Archers throughout the game so that anyone who was thrown out could pay to come back in again. [Post edited 6 May 2022 12:13]

Roger Milford getting serious grief every time he was the ref
Someone in the Milton who used to shout “come on saints, hustle bustle!” Every bloody match | |
