Vans Fixed Gear Shoes

I remember going to the Den in 1984 for a midweek League Cup game. I have been to some nasty places with vicious atmospheres. Nothing compares with that night when Chelsea came down to SE London. Very unpleasant. Hopefully never to be repeated.

Walking through LB is bad enough. I'm not a fan of police dogs and the OB like to take the piss.

Leeds at home is Next Saturday :)

Golden Lion is no more. Closed down about a month ago.

Next Saturday!? No more GL!? Fuck me, sensory overload! What time's KO?
I remember when they played at The Den last season, I was cycling Elephant/Blackfriars - place was teamin with Millwall looking to 'greet' Leeds, OB all over the place in vans. Apparently it kicked off a bit over at Waterloo

Elland Road was always an ugly place to visit. There was a bridge over the road which you had to walk along to the station. If you were unlucky (or stupid enough to have a scarf on or show off your accent) a brick would drop on your head.

Still, Millwall was worse.

3 o'clock. There will be no trouble near the ground.

Hmmmmmm, Everton are at Arsenal on Saturday too, could get a bit tasty over at Kings Cross/Euston with Leeds in town too.

We could start a whole new thread on moody football grounds.
I'll raise you're Elland Rd with Ayresome Park. Fuck me, that was a hole of a place

Back to back in the day. The more discerning Northern gentlemen amongst us would be sporting these...

Back on topic, these look a bit better:

Is it me or are the soles much thicker on Vans nowadays?

another picture...

fucking cool, love the black ones :)

You obviously haven't read the previous pages then?

nope. and i'm also assuming these aren't a rip off like the ones i commented on earlier.

A good book to read on terrace culture is 'The Liverpool Boys are in Town 1978/82: where d'ya get yer trainees from?' by Dave Hewiston

Have you read this? Tranmere...

No, not yet, my mate's got it, I'll borrow it off him

If you like the new Vans you should maybe check out the Vans store on Carnaby street from next Monday...

Because people like timeless classics? And I think they're bought more by wistful, nostalgic old men, than kids.

The Vans range is huge, plenty of kicks with new technology and so on.

Why, what's gonne be in there, load of new stuff? Cos to be honest there's never anything exciting in there

There's no better football film than Green Street

Still no cleets? Waste of time. And why the era? Laces = bad news in clips. Why not use the slip on?

Having said that I'm a complete vans whore so I could be tempted. Just hope they do an all black version so I can use them for work.

I beg to differ.

I.D

I win ;)
