The memory is not so good these days but these were all County Ground 70's & 80's:
Stoke City League cup took over the Elephant,all over the Hotel End. Millwall League cup horrible little firm in the Hotel End,with one of the biggest skinhead's I have ever seen. Sheffield Wednesday got chased all over the back alleys around County Ground.
Loved the County Ground even though it was a nutshole ;D ;D

Part in the Preston book about the time they came to Northampton and ended up trapped in a car parts shop. Surrounded by NAT and one of theirs caught and thrown through the window except it wouldnt break. Battle of the car batteries

Met head on top of Abington Street..they got legged down Welly Rd..one of theirs did get it quite badly...Preston turned it around after the game though, backing off all and sundry coming out of the Hotel End, though tbf, NAT had already left and had gone around Wantage Rd way!

Good read the Preston book. The bloke recalls how 10-20 of them went for a drink didnt know Northampton at all, the pub gets surrounded and over run with NAT, Preston let go and then thats when your part kicked in. Never get away with that now!

Loved the County Ground even though it was a nutshole ;D ;D The millwall skinhead sounds like BIG Frank from Reading .Used to go to spurs back in those days with a load of lads from Reading.The last time I heard of BIG frank he was bouncing on the doors in bournemouth and got sent down for blackmailing an MP who was gay but was married. Every millwall fan from that era knew this lunatic.
