City at Maine was very tasty for a lot of firms coming in . I know quite a lot from Leeds and they always said back in the day City were always on it

It's all done on line nowadays. No fun, no adrenaline.

Hurleys got done when we played Sheff Wednesday, pretty much straight after the Sheff match buses got bricked while dropping the fans off at Picc. Plenty of Pringle Diamond jumpers were available around our way that night, someone I know was involved.

There was hurleys golf and hurleys sport one season in the second division was us sheff Wednesday, Newcastle And Pompey all at the top Memorable games both home and away.
More battling in town than around main road in some ways .

If I remember correctly, the rags were playing Everton away. A fair few of us went to Victoria station to wait for them. Nothing metarialised from it mind, good job probably as only about 20 of us. Smash and grab was more important for others;-)

The only time I ever got assaulted with a weapon by one of Her Majesties Constabulary was outside Bolton Trinity Street Station by an Police Sergeant who gave me a whack across the back of my legs with his signalling stick.It was after Bolton beat us in a League Cup game 3-0 in 1971. The twat.
