Supporters Most overrated stadium atmosphere?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

No denying it could be a scary place but we usually had big numbers there so can't say I was ever overly 'frightened' but some of those northern hell holes (particularly in the North East) in the 70s and 80s when you were light handed were not a lot of fun.
Middlesbrough. Fuck nuts. Seriously I wouldn’t even fight the birds up there. Every fucker up for it.
 
There was definatly an edge going to games back in my early days of going away with my mates.
Even the london underground on a Saturday morning through to evening was like a hooligans theme park at times.
Even away from football, if a group of blokes were going to a gig or a night out and looked the part,they risked the attention of one mob or another.
 
Seriously mate the estates up there were 3rd world. Went with Millwall in the 80s Midweek. Couldn’t understand a fucking word anyone said. But every fucker wanted it.
It’s not the same these days, I went there circa 2017, We won 2-1 with Son scoring both. I had to park miles away from the stadium and walk from some weird city centre to the ground, with my Spurs top on all inter mingled with the home fans - absolutely no trouble whatsoever, both sets of fans were getting on fine and it was the same on the walk back, not even a hint of trouble.
 
70s early 80s a lot more of the firms were adults. Spammers and Millwall had shitloads of middle age dockers.

Some of us got lost on an estate. Everyone knew we were outsiders. Like a scene from the Warriors. Fucking shitting myself.
