Scariest away day following City

That Forest game was my first away without my dad present, I'd of been 16. Went down on the special, old bill kept us behind for ages at the station. It had already kicked off in the town centre with City fans who got the service down.

We’d have been on the same train!

It was’t you who asked me if I was a City fan was it? If you were 16, life hadn’t been kind...

It was my first away game without my dad (which had all been at old trafford) too. Remember us being kept in for ages. Didn’t Neil McNab have a goal disallowed for offside at our end?

I should add I reckon I’ve seen City play away in about 35 home ends, if you include corporate. Been plenty of occasions where I’ve been more then a little scared. Went in the Monaco end, right behind the goal in the middle of their hardcore fans when we lost there in the CL in Pep’s first season. My proficiency in French has diminished significantly in the last 35 years. I could have easily been rumbled. That could have got nasty, but I did get a buzz out if it.

Not so much scary, as amusing, got stared at by a Baggies fan in the corporate area at the Hawthorns every time we scored, culminating in him offering me out. 2013/4 season season; we won 3-2. I wasn’t being disrespectful either. What a fucking loser.

Should have flattened the twat and then told them to stick their corporate where the sun don't shine .
 
Newcastle when they beat us 5 - 0, couldnt imagine what it would have been like if we had managed to win. Although a few of them came in our end and soon regretted it

I remember Neil McNab missing a penalty at Shrewsbury in the last minute. We hadn't won away for about 2yrs. Im sure I cried that day.
 
I went to all the grounds mentioned in this thread other than Millwall from the age of 16 in 1970 (when I started working) to the late 80s and even though it got a bit tricky I never really had a bad outcome.

The one where I thought I was in for a real hiding was the 81 Cup Final against Spurs (first game). Me & two mates were stood at a bus stop near Wembly and we were only about 400 yards away from a pub packed out with Blues. Suddenly we were surrounded by around 50 Spurs fans who didn't seem particularly friendly. Most of them were black and the main man walked up to us and grinned & then they all walked off. I think we didn't get battered because one of my mates was black tbh.

We lived to tell the tale by the skin of our teeth.
Cost us about £50 in whisky though !
 
Members Cup Final - Mad. Chelsea everywhere that day, including in our end at the bottom.

Millwall - the escort to the ground, the turnstiles, having to walk past their stand, being kept in after and then London Bridge scrapping after.

Everton in the league Cup QF. The walk back to the station was a nightmare.

Leicester City in the 80’s. Think it was 0-0.

scariest game I’ve been too though was England v Scotland at Wembley around 88. Think England won 1-0. We were in the end that was 80% Scotland and 20% England and just separated by a line of police. Bedlam all the way there, during the game and after. I was shitting myself in there. It was full of absolute loons in the England bit and jocks just waiting to have a go. A crazy day.
 
Barnsley league cup in 1981. Kicking off all over beforehand, rumours abounded someone got shot coming in through the train window! Half Time the coppers come marching through our end led by a right twat of a Yorkshire bastard Sergeant with the compulsory‘I am hard as fuck me’ cane. Well everyone starts doing the Laurel and Hardy theme. Some of the coppers took it for what it was - a laugh. The rest just looked sheepish. My mate and me are down the front and this Sergeant is purple in the face. They all get out and then from behind we hear “you’ve lost one” one copper got left behind and made the solo trip down to loads of cheers. By now the Sergeant is puce, steam from ears the lot! Fookin hilarious. We lose one nil. Outside the Sergeant was hitting anything that moved with his cane as we left. Not scary, but, what a laugh!
