Still Proud

Last night after waiting on Stafford Road sterile zone - their words not mine - to allow the gloating albion fans to their buses, for best part of 45 mins in a generally good bantered stand off with WMP and their colleagues from Leicester, we were finally allowed back to our cars on Faukland St.
As we filed past Kwik Fit our boys in blue, and flourescent yellow, broke into a single file run through our ranks to meet trouble up ahead.
Just as this started the chap in front of me side steps one of those black cast iron, waist height bollards in the foot path - I duely followed suit...
....unlike plod behind me who saw a gap and went for it. Straight in the gnads, followed by his momentum taking him over the top and sprawling, riot shield and all, on the floor.
After a couple of seconds pause raucous uproar ensued and I like many others had to pause hands on knees in fits of laughter as his mates carried him away.
Made my night it did
