With football culture having declined through the Taylor report and a new era of football built for the home-viewing market, the group spent its early years fighting against archaic stadium rules and a repressive mentality.
We fought against Croydon Council who threatened the closure of the Holmesdale for standing and against a top-down agenda to crush the group from the police and the club regime of the time. This period saw countless bans, court cases, raids and even the front of Block B entirely netted off for several fixtures
Despite this, the group showed an increasing presence, smuggling in materials, pulling off large scale displays across the Holmesdale and travelling away.
