Spuds Away

[The Final Salute]

Me and a couple of mates are planning to go to the North London derby next month and I have never been to WHL but my other mates have and I was just wondering how intimidating it is to go to being a Gooner.

I have been to other intimidating grounds where the crowd can get going like Anfield, Upton Park and Old Trafford last season as well as more but I was just wondering how more intimidating for an Arsenal fan is WHL to go to in terms of the grounds I have mentioned.

I know the obvious like not to wear colours, always look like you know where you are going, do not loiter and do not stop to but anything.

I also know the policing at WHL is by far the worst in terms of protecting away fans and that the walk back to the tube station is fearsome to say the least.

So do you Gooners have any advice on a trouble free trip to the Shit hole/

There is a thread 4 pages back entitled ' Spuds v Arsenal' which has a lot of gooner's experiences of going to Shite Hart Lane. I suggest you give it a read.

[Chunky The Gooner]

Yes do read it !!

Generally try to get in with majority of people on the High Rd once the game has finished. Mingling in is always best.

Sounds like a fucking bad dream to me, i think if i went to a north london derby it would have to be at the emirates.

[Chunky The Gooner]

Ben

Im in 37 mate and I spent most of the late 80's and 90's getting chased down Tottenham high road aftert them games. Bad dream is right!

[Ben-gooner14]

I think they should get the replica cannons firing from outside the emirates and ambush them lol.

[Chunky The Gooner]

Or turn up in Tanks !

I've had good times there and swaggered about 70s, late 80s early 90s and I've also known some rough times there. At one point my mate was getting tickets from a spuds steward so spent a few games in the shelf and paxton rd, not a pleasant experience, had to stay rather quiet I hav'nt been in recent years due to virtually retiring from away games but it's sposed to be pretty hairy nowadays. I think the best thing to do is follow your own advice, don't wear colours outside the ground, look confident and know where you're going and trust the rest to luck. At the end of the day, bollocks to em. Just thank your lucky starts you don't have to do Millwall away, I remember my first time there, now that *was* scary

[Ben-gooner14]

Oh yeah, forgot about that, my gooner family on msn is.
