Formed by two founder members of the HFPC (Ches and Fin) along with Pricey, the Beserker and Moist in 1999, it was decided that the word of carnage needed to be spread unto the uneducated masses of the North.
Following Gillingham FC to such salubrious locations in England such as Preston,Blackpool,Nottingham,Stoke, Millwall etc, the Associates breathed new life into the decaying
art of
Football Hooliganism, excessive drinking, violence, vandalism and bugle practice.
The Associates finest moments would involve such tear-jerkers as the ransacking of the Boyce hotel, Pricey being arrested for mooning the riot
police, Beserker doing a whole
bag in one hit, Fin armed with
2 pool cues and bottles in the town centre, and Ches wrecking the phone box then laying out the bloke queueing at
McDonalds late at night. Halcyon days.
God bless us all.
