Probably the same mob who Arthur Wait lambasted in the club yearbook around that time for causing mayhem and criminal damage at an away game in Plymouth!
Numerous deckchairs were smashed and lobbed off the pier by all accounts! |

Think their might have been a thread on this Dorking. was 66 or 67. Those involved are probably now causing all sorts of bovver down the pension office. As Baldy pointed out their is a main suspect, and even today I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of his overswing club. |
