Read an article in the Hull Daily Mail about how easy it was for Sheff Utd fans to get tickets in the home areas, no checks , no prior database history resulting in the inevitable confrontation & ejections. A linked article shows this picture ( no. 13 of 14) involving a game with Town, no date given but a few familiar suspects, likely the April '81 away fixture we lost 2-1 which was from memory a bit like the wild west. Temporary barriers for segregation, a football special of 1000+ pulling in behind the away end, Boothferry Halt, just a platform, we had the long side that day perhaps 2000 following. www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/gallery/hull-city-fans-causing-trouble-2714093 |

Hull away then Burnley away on the Tuesday. Killed our season I remember getting to Turfmoor late coz of the huge following we took and they only had 1/2 turnstiles open. Got in just before half time having missed at least two goals. |

This also happened at Preston. Less tasty though there. And a decent amount of Blades were in the home crowd at Brentford/L**ds. Very easy for them to blend in  |

We hit bad form at the wrong time. I think we lost at home to Millwall before these two games as well. Still a great time to be watching Town though. |
