Walsall was a journey on the coach - which had it's window smashed by a flying brick as we were leaving the ground. We had to put in at a hospital in West Bromwich to allow for one or two people to get some treatment for minor cuts before traversing as far as Gordano without a window to meet a replacement coach...and it was bl**y cold as I recall.
I also remember feeling outnumbered at AP Leamington. Was also relieved as the additional fans turned up (If memory serves that lot included one Adrian Sanders). The away terrace was pretty shallow as I recall and had barbed wire fencing behind, this helped with the impression of feeling trapped. Not on the coach that time however I was a passenger with one George Slater. Cannot remember who else traveled with us that day...possibly Conrad Sanders (better known these days as local rugby and cricket reporter Conrad Sutcliffe)
I also travelled by coach to this game.It was a good result for us that day(0-2).I dont remember the goals,but I recall John Turner having a good game in goal.
Like you say Andy,it was a bit scary afterwards.We had a police escort from the ground to the motorway and after they left us the brick came through the window.
Yes,it was cold going back to Bristol,I`m pretty sure it was snowing as well!
I was also at Leamington,very scary when we were rushed by the Walsall yobs.
