I remember a few years ago at Scunny, some of our supporters were stood up at the back. They weren't hurting any Juan, they weren't blocking the view of any Juan, but the stewards ordered them to sit down. Much to my amusement, the fans bobbed up and down causing Juan young steward to completely lose it. The steward was escourted out by........stewards!
You seen any fing strange following our favourites?

He actually punched someone, remember it well… Strangely I started talking to a steward after that incident then met the same steward stewarding our game In Exeter (great escape)

Went to Rotherham's old ground. We were winning Juan nil till just before the end, when Rotherham equalised. The stewards had come and stood in front of us ready for the end of the game. The Juan steward turned and smirked at us, which wasn't very professional. Then we scored again with the last kick of the match. Juan of our fans ran forward and goaded the steward, but as the whistle was blown for full time he started walking out with the rest of us. Next thing, the smirking steward and Juan of his mates grabbed our fan with Juan arm each and said they were going to eject him. He protested that he was going out anyway, but the steward said, "no you're not, we're throwing you out". I was walking behind this fee ass co and couldn't help but laugh and comment at the owd nonsense. Then when we got to the gate, the stewards made a big show of pushing the fan out.

Always remember Lincoln stewards being a pain in the arse, think they we're an external company.

Not a Town game but AC Milan v Marseille after 20 mins Marseille scored. Marseille fan in home end ran to front of our section and started offering out Milan fans. Bizarre thing was the pink ladies knickers over his jeans. He disappeared and didn't return

I have to say Jimmy Quinn coming on was one of the craziest things I've ever seen , away at woking conference season , having totally dominated the first half and led 2-0 early in the 2nd , we self destructed and found ourselves 3-2 down, on came 44 year old Quinn and won a 96th minute penalty which Luke rogers smashed home for his hat trick a couple of weeks later at Scarborough in yet another awful game that season , Quinn started himself and scored in a 1-1 draw to put things into perspective, Sam Ricketts is still only 40 years old now, I wonder how that would have gone down had he brought himself on as sub

Funniest thing I’ve seen, was game home to Mansfield about 12 years ago, and we were rubbish and losing. Guy in the west stand, came down the steps, berated the players and threw his season ticket onto the side of pitch, and stormed down the tunnel. About a minute later, he returned and sheepishly asked a steward to get his season ticket back for him!

Talking about owd Bizzy reminded me of the time at Accy. A Steward went through a gate into the away end and didn't bolt it. I think it was Bizzy and MarkGlasgow rushed forwards and the crowd behind pushed them through the unlocked gate behind the goal. The stewards ejected them, but Bizzy found a hill where he could still see the game. When we scored again, I could see Bizzy jumping up and down waving the owd scarf.
When supporters explained what had happened with the gate, the stewards relented and let them back in.
By the way Bizzy. I still haven't got over that bearhug you got me in when we won the play-off match at Bury!

That game v Hereford was entertaining when one of our stewards in their end had a strop, threw his jacket to the ground and stormed off but decided to go and sit on his own in the East Stand, rather than leave the ground. Of course he then gets loads of abuse from the away end
A rather surreal game I always remember was against Rotherham under Jake, we won 2-1 from memory, they had 2 blokes sent off, I think we had a pen and nearly every decision went against them. One of their fans decided to go on the pitch to remonstrate with the ref, I think Dave Walton stopped him but then let him go, he tried to run back into the Station End but the stewards stopped him which led to their fans fighting with stewards whilst the Riverside bizarrely cheered on the Rotherham fans
I suppose the strangest experience was seeing a stand being evacuated due to a fire and then the game being called off (against Port Vale)

One after Jake King got sacked someone ran on the pitch as a giant Rat with "Roland the Rat" as a sign.
Unless dreamt it?!

I cannot remember the game but I remember at the old meadow the game was held up for around 10min or so because the ref had lost his whistle and all the players and officials were scouring the pitch looking for it

I remember Bizzy at a pre season game, either Northwich or Witton. He walked onto the touchline & started whipping the linesman across his legs with a scarf. Poor lino couldn't get away quickly enough.

1988/89 season,our last in The Championship. At home to Reading, ex Wrexham & Man Utd Mickey Thomas is playing for us and had got a yellow card early on. Just before half time Thomas flies in late, ref blows his whistle and runs towards Thomas. Mickey knows what's coming,gets up and starts to walk towards the tunnel,crowd goes very quiet Ref calls Thomas back,gives him a real telling off but doesn't produce a red card nor send him off. Apparently, according to Thomas,ref told him he had his yellow card but had left the red card in his dressing room!

Colin Cramb once told me to ‘go away’ and made a lovely sign towards me after I told him what I thought of this performance
I’d like to point out at the time I had the same attitude to life as Kevin from Kevin and Perry!!

Does anyone remember the alleged unsavoury incident at Stevenage away, first season under Mellon? Can anybody confirm if it was true?
