Watch ESPN 30 for 30 - June 17th 1994, Vancouver Canucks fans rioting after losing game 7 of the Stanley cup, makes what Rangers did in Manchester look like a tea party http://espn.go.com/30for30/film?page=june-17th-1994

I went to a baseball double header in St Louis in 94 versus the Atlanta Braves, afternoon game was tremendous, the night game was a fucking horrific experience. I went with my sister in law to the night game, she was followed into the bathroom, leary comments, booze thrown at her and the atmosphere was probably the worst I've been around at a sports venue. The difference I've seen at US sporting events is that it's individuals rather than a collective that mar the experience, at Metlife there was sporadic fighting among Jets and Browns fans, at TD garden a guy wanted to fight a lassie because she was late getting to her seat and he couldn't see past her for 10 seconds, at Gillette there were Lions fans trying it on with our group all through the 2nd half. This idea that there's no crowd trouble is a myth, it's just less obvious. Don't get me wrong I've had great times at all the events I've been to bar Busch stadium at night which was really ugly, the difference at US events is no segregation as such and everyone gets the same treatment through the turnstyles and no over zealous stewarding of groups of away fans.

What do you mean by better treatment though?

See if you took the badge off that white polo, or reduced it's presence significantly that would be fucking class.

Well done. Thanks.

It costs way more to get into these events than it does here, Gillette stadium has one entrance, everyone goes through a metal detector, boozy fights at the tailgating are not uncommon, the parking costs more than getting in to Fir Park and public transport links are non existent, there's also complete gridlock no matter when you decide to leave the stadium for hours afterwards. Rolling up to that one entrance with a barcode is hardly a perk of going to watch the New England Patriots, the Jets and Giants aren't much better and their stadium is in the middle of nowhere right next to umpteen highways. Metlife had more to offer at the kiosks, but 2 beers will almost set you back what you pay to watch Motherwell.

What's the average salary for a Scottish footballer?

It's 21 years since 3 points for a win came in, can't see the bonus point system in the league cup lasting that long. It's not the 1st innovation to be tried in a minor competition though, the older will remember those offside lines from the early 70's.

In 1991 you had 2 substitutes, I'm sure Maxwell's injury went some of the way to a 3rd substitute being introduced.

Our white admiral away strip, or the C&A diagonal, or the Summer cup strip, or the untouchables home strip.

Ok, based on actual entries who had the biggest percentage correct?

My go to team were 'In a pencil case', Bad words Utd were a one man team

Football related spreadsheets,I dig it. Food in the fridge? That's just a made up team from sensible world of soccer.

My dad's been going for 60% of our history, his older brother even longer.

Part of the nucleolus of the squad

http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/head_to_head.sd?team_id=1734&team2_id=512 Season 82/83 we'd drawn 2-2 with Rangers at Fir PArk, then played Celtic and got pumped 7-0 under Jock Wallace the cup game was 6-0 under Bobby Watson.

Put his CV un der the door on the way out

Hopefully we can spoil their already subdued party on Sunday. The game's a dead rubber for the league, but would be nice to sign off beating this mob.

Do we have to go up and collect them this year again? Obviously choosing dibs on Moults if that's the case

The Specials let their fans on stage at the end for a tear up.

Stuttering towards to end of the season. Let's win and make the Celtic game mean something at least.

Trust steelmenonline to get it right

When Craggs opened the gate versus Kilmarnock...

Last home game of the season, go out with a win!

Thanks for looking Dave, appreciate your time.
