I remember coming out after the game, City fans lined up on each side of the road all the way back to the coach park, I didn't hang around to see what happened though, just.thought Leeds away was a nice easy away game.for a 14 year old lad. The next game a Leeds certainly changed my opinion.They never came to City untill 1992 when we beat them 4 nought when they won the league. I was at the 1976 cup game at their place and City smashed them. We had 30 per cent of the ground off the lard eaters if Dewsbury.
A mate of mine - a rag - was, by his own admission, a right little twat back in the 1970’s/1980’s. He was right in the middle of a massive ruck at Elland Road.
He was about 15 at the time and he got put in hospital by 3 Leeds knuckle draggers all fully grown men.
His attitude even now was he wanted it so getting twatted was part and parcel.
His only trip to Maine Road was in 1977 - the only time he ever felt scared at an away game. Openly admits he never fancied going back.
He has calmed down these days.
Fucking hell thats awful. Hope the poor little cherub gets over it.Asked a rag mate if he'd gone to the Derby at the Etihad this year, he said no, he was sick of being spat at and called a M****h. Nice bloke in his 60s, not all arseholes are rags.

I haven't been to the swamp myself since the 70s, no doubt a lot of twats follow the rags and I never enjoyed a day there. However with 250 million fans worldwide you are bound to meet an odd decent lad amongst them. I have a family full of them in Dublin, and my brother In law and nephew are great people apart from footy affiliation.Did he demand that his vile club removed 'that' banner ?
He should stand where City fans do getting into the swamp pre match.....he might think himself lucky.
A rags a rag every day !!
Don't know what it is but we always seem to have lumber with Spurs. Bunch of cunts they are.
Yes it's weird I don't know why. Growing up I never rated them that much but even now whenever we play them at home there's trouble. Chelsea were the worst for me when I was younger. Took it everywhere and were one horrible tasty mob.
the amount of trouble on that 1981 f.a cup run was ridiculousIt was the 1980 one because by 1981 I’d seen plenty of trouble, mainly on our cup run.
NF & Skin Heads.

More like he's sick of losing to little CityAsked a rag mate if he'd gone to the Derby at the Etihad this year, he said no, he was sick of being spat at and called a M****h. Nice bloke in his 60s, not all arseholes are rags.
The two games against Everton in the quarters and the league cup semi at Liverpool saw violence on a scale you just don't see now . Peterborough in the 5th round away was a mad day as I recall I was young ,stupid and fit then ,now an FOC with memories good and bad. Would love to live through it again.the amount of trouble on that 1981 f.a cup run was ridiculous

Some day that at Goodison even the Coppers were laying into the City fans, my auntie worked as a nurse at the MRI she said Everton fans were being sent all over Manchester to get stitched up before and after the replayThe two games against Everton in the quarters and the league cup semi at Liverpool saw violence on a scale you just don't see now .

on the special from victoria everyone was up for it but we underestimated the reality.Some day that at Goodison even the Coppers were laying into the City fans, my auntie worked as a nurse at the MRI she said Everton fans were being sent all over Manchester to get stitched up before and after the replay
the replay was revenge pure and simple :)Massive City following that day and viscous after the game.
The fighting back to the station after the replay was something anyone involved in won't forget !!
