Probably not after recent events in Germany.
Anyway, just saying hello. First went down the Bush as a kid mid sixties. Very distant memory of a White City home game. Since then, always Rs, not always living in W. London. Being honest, all seater regulations killed attendence at games for me - I still go when I can, but something happened to football when we all had to sit... There was a certain point at which the game became not only socially acceptable but cool and that feeling was a bad one for me, because it signalled the start of corporate control. I preferred rough and ready times. I'll always be Rangers, but football is just another division of big business and that is a problem for me. But there you go.
Someone said in another thread that Chelsea used to come down the Bush and take over. But I also remember us at the Bridge, and there was a period in the seventies where we gave as good as we got (or better, on the pitch). Aggro wise I remember more trouble with claret and blue, strangely enough... I was a good boy really, but back then you didn't need to look for trouble. It found you.
One thing about them winning in Europe - it gives us a bigger target. Hate them, yup, obsessed with them? Nope.
