Things you've lost at football grounds

Just looking at the post about Pods being found at Peterborough.
Once lost a shoe at Huddersfield. Can't remember the game but someone started singing 'shoes off for the lads' and everyone was waving their shoes around when one of mine came out of my hand and fell down the stands.
I thought it'd be OK as I'd collect at full time but never found that shoe and had to walk to the coach with one shoe on!
 
I very nearly lost the Official BASIL Stethoscope once.

Thankfully my ready wit and talent for repartee saved the day.
 
More a case of couldn't find than lost. Aged 17 went to the League Cup Final at Wembley Man City v Newcastle Utd. Family were from Manchester and keen City fans. Cousin got me and my mate tickets and we went on supporters coach to game. Cracking match which City win 2 - 1 with the winner scored by Dennis Tueart, famous overhead kick .
Anyway after the game, we couldn't find the coach on the Wembley car park. Looking for ages and panicking a bit. At one point were walking between two other coaches, not much room between the two when I became aware of a group of about 6 to 8 Newcastle fans following immediately behind us. I told my mate who was just in front of me that I think we were in for a bit of trouble here. We had our City scarfes on at the time. We emerged from in between the buses into an open space where we were surrounded by these Newcastle supporters. At which point my mate for some reason shouts towards them quite loudly, CITY !! I thought he is either a secret Kung Foo champion or we are going to get our heads kicked in. Well as it turns out he wasn't a Kung Foo champion !! Some City fans came to our rescue and I ended up with my balls in a supportive sack for about ten days along with the usual cuts and bruises.
So I asked my mate why on earth he shouted CITY to the mob at which point he told me that he was Colour blinds and thought they were City fans 🫣
 
Lost £50 buying a program at Stoke, the seller surreptitiously covered it up with his foot which was spotted by another seasider. The said fan got it off him and tracked me down to the bar and returned it to me and wouldn’t even allow me to buy him a pint in thanks. Class
 
My glasses. Put my bottle of dandelion and burdock in my zip up pocket so no one would take top off it, but glasses case fell out of coat pocket. Cost me£120 to replace. Pop cost me 99p.

One of my group of friends is a City fan, and varying numbers of us went with him in the 80s, in the days when City were good for a laugh.


We always stood in the busy half of the Kippax terrace. One day, one of us took the unfathomable decision to bring a flask of tea with him, which he also inexplicably put down on the concrete. City scored, there was a big crowd in and the whole of our section surged. And so did Carl's flask.

He found it yards away, much later on. He didn't actually lose it, but he never got to use it again. It did make some interesting noises when you shook it though.
 
The plot at Huddersfield in 2014 when, after a few too many at a local Working Person's club, took my seat in the ground to find us 3-0 down and fans arguing with each other
