Chelsea Headhunters/Reading Mob

[FiNeRaIn]

So I stumbled across an old documentary I remember watching back in the day. It features Donal Mcintyre following the footsteps of the Chelsea headhunters around the late 90's. Good bit in there on Reading and the three guineas, especially Reading going away to Bristol City and dishing out a few slaps. So what happened to the good old days when we actually had a mob wearing good clobber, making a bit of noise and defending the clubs honor? These days its all face painted, jester hat wearing, music bopping bandy handed homo's. What happened to the glory days? documentary below.

LOL @ this thread already

I think the best way is probably to write on a public forum, recruiting these kind of people when standing so far outside the group you're referencing that you're in Narnia

Not looking to achieve anything, I'm interested as to know how Reading ended up being voted the biggest family club in England, when it wasn't once this way at all.

But nice overreaction. You've plummeted in recent years.

You seriously don't understand that perhaps in the late 90s, and definitely in the late 80s and early 90s, every club had this kind of 'support' and to some extent every club still does?

And you're seriously linking hooliganism to the award Reading received for the safe, friendly and family atmosphere the club provides at its matches, as if 90% of home teams in the country don't now produce exactly that matchday experience for its fans?

What point are you making exactly? We used to have more hooligans. So did everyone. Atmosphere at games is now friendlier. It is everywhere. Even Cardiff.

Likewise....perhaps you should continue to pick your battle of wits with the likes of royalee etc as you seem to have some traction there

If you were a real Reading fan then you'd know it got proper naughty in Y26 on Saturday with some vicious gestures on display. I've heard unconfirmed reports that a programme got ripped in the fracas too. Let's hope this isn't a sign that football is returning to the dark days of the 80s.

...and so a title of 'Chelsea HeadHunters/Reading's mob' was accurate?

Again, stick to battling the likes of royalee mate

Nice double posting, weren't happy with the quality of reply in your first one? No, neither was I - Royalee and I never have run-ins, but nice try.

Yes, let's go back to those glory times with the geezers in the South Bank standing close to the away end in their fake Ralph Lauren's giving it large.

Remember a classic rispote when the 'OB' thwarted their attempts: - "they know that we know that they know what we know". What's funny now is seeing most of the boys with their receding hairlines, beer guts, etc.

Just shows Chelsea can't even produce there own hooligans any more they have to buy them in as well.
