    Not as much as I'd hoped. Thanks though. :)

    Problem T-H-O is that he has a list of the wins/loses, player rosters, and such. What he needs is who West Ham played against during those wins/loses.

    I'm fairly sure that's what I needed. If I'm reading that chart right it says that on August 16th 1992 West Ham United played FC Barnsley and won?

    That's what I call devotion to details.

    That is indeed what the chart says, infact it says sunday 16th august 1992 if my knowledge of german days of the week is correct.
    West Hams name being second also means that they played away from home, in that case in Barnsley incase you didn't know.

    It's the little details like this can can either add to or detract from a fic. I kow it seems silly to most people, but I like to make sure that if I say my characters attended a certain real-life event that it happened when/where/how I say it did.

    Thanks! I didn't catch the fact that it was an away game, but that'll help a ton.

    If only I could find some way to explain a good ol' Latin-American Soccer riot into the context of a 1992 West Ham match.

    ...oh yeah. That's a mental image I'll be laughing over for a loooong time.

    pffft, Latin-American football riots are nothing. Football hooliganism basically started in England.

    Placated Turtle, you ain't seen hooliganism until you've been to Scotland. It was born and bred here, and nowhere else can top it;)

    'specially not the nancy English fans... :p
