Same thing happened to me at an Etihad game with Southampton ... parked up on a side street near Ashburys, and came back after the match to a smashed passenger side window, and radio and minature City kit gone ... it was raining too, and we'd lost the game 1-3!Did you get your money back?
This was after they went one up, was being shown on Granada/Yorkshire TV live. Strachan scored and Leeds jumped up in the North Stand, City piled down from the back of North Stand and Leeds clambered over the fencingWas in the north stand on the Leeds game if it’s when Brian dean equalised real late on? lots of Leeds fans jumped up celebrating, big mistake!! it went off big time
I know about 25 of them , they stayed in the same hotel as the Hibs lads who came back in looking battered and bruised .
Always the same tale off rags when they get battered City had help from Rangers, Bolton, Leeds, take your pick. The Hibs CCS seem to have a problem with City for some strange reason have turned up with United and Oldham in the past.A very fitting goodbye to Maine Road on and off the field that day, they had Hibs with them also , the Hibs lads knew a Rangers lad and said no matter how Utd try to spin it they got done .
Always thought the Oldham/Hibs alliance was all down to plenty of lads in the FYC looking like the ProclaimersAlways the same tale off rags when they get battered City had help from Rangers, Bolton, Leeds, take your pick.

Seem to remember the area around Highfield Road was a bit grim...
I got sent there once, a long time ago.Yes it’s called Coventry!
Happened to me vs Hull one midweek game, smashed my window I was parked opposite Quinny crescent, on Alexandra Park side, but the police caught the scrote actually in my car, they left me a note to go to Platt Lane police station. I got there after the game and the little t*at was there with his parents crying his eyes out, pleading his innocence. The youth was ordered to pay me back a quid a week to cover the cost of the window, one time they did our kids window, and he had gone to the match straight from night school at North Trafford College, they laid his course notes out across Alexander Park in neat rows, it was pissing it down, so all ruined……fuckin shit stains one and allSame thing happened to me at an Etihad game with Southampton ... parked up on a side street near Ashburys, and came back after the match to a smashed passenger side window, and radio and minature City kit gone ... it was raining too, and we'd lost the game 1-3!
Definitely not the best day i could have had.
A quid a week?

Me and the Mrs go to Coventry every weekendI got sent there once, a long time ago.
And when I got there, nobody would talk to me.
Boro always dodge pre match and appeared after. Back of North stand being there favourite. Until we got them in The Waldorf. Later that night,think they missed the last train!
When Boro turned up it was hard not to rate them,game as and stuck together, loads of incidents with them,few of us ended up in their escort by the park once,kicked off by Oxford Rd,they were stunned, the mob that came up claremont rd by the sherwood that time was good too, oĺd bill cleared city away as both faced up,was it the cup game when they came down Oxford Rd and City were in mcnallys?that was a wild day,got on the waste ground to confront them and seriously underestimated their numbers,massive mob came round the corner! They talk highly of us as well.Bring Back Swales created an interesting debate among my mates. He mentioned Newcastle thrashing the Clarence which they never did but he saw a mob leaving the area with glass splattered around. I think now what he saw was the attack by Boro who turned up late a caught a few outside. City backed off into the rear room at the Pub and this is where I think they put a window in at the front. They certainly didn't get inside and trash the place. Newcastle and also Chelsea turned up but only a skirmish outside and Chelsea got chased to Maine Road. Of all the mobs that came I think that a lot of people rate Boro highly.
I remember thet Scottish firm turning up at Maine Road when we’d been at it all day with Boro , Hibs and Oldham got friendly after Oldham got a battering in Edinburgh , few Hibs were with Utd at the lost Dene a couple of seasons ago and got battered off boro , I believe Hibs said there not being Utds punch bags anymore, told off an Oldham lad at work .Always thought the Oldham/Hibs alliance was all down to plenty of lads in the FYC looking like the Proclaimers
Think Newcastle turned up pretty early about 2000 - I also seem to remember they turned over the Clarence but there weren’t many City around at the point. Keegan’s City drew them the next year and I believe a pretty big mob went up in retaliation, IIRC the windows in one of their main pubs were put through.Bring Back Swales created an interesting debate among my mates.

It was Spence with a foot in each firm… FYC and MiBAlways thought the Oldham/Hibs alliance was all down to plenty of lads in the FYC looking like the Proclaimers
Two huge mobs of City that day.Think Newcastle turned up pretty early about 2000 - I also seem to remember they turned over the Clarence but there weren’t many City around at the point.

Talking of Scottish firms, and this is a bit random ...was talking to a lad in a pub few months back who said he used to run Motherwells firm back in the 80s/90s iirc. I think he said Motherwell..I remember thet Scottish firm turning up at Maine Road when we’d been at it all day with Boro , Hibs and Oldham got friendly after Oldham got a battering in Edinburgh , few Hibs were with Utd at the lost Dene a couple of seasons ago and got battered off boro , I believe Hibs said there not being Utds punch bags anymore, told off an Oldham lad at work .
They turned up but didn't turn over the Clarence. Regarding a return, two lots went up. two or maybe three Coaches went to Chester Le Street. After a booze most got the Rattler to Newcastle. Right off and into the Pub right across the road. A few of there lads in there who we told to go tell their mob City were here. Nothing happened and City walked to the ground on the way a couple of Pubs closed their doors and one had a window put through but not sure if it was their main Pub. City stood on the corner behind there end for a bit but Newcastle didn't show so they went in. A second lot went to Whitley Bay and had a run in and came out on top in the Haymarket area when they got off the Metro.Think Newcastle turned up pretty early about 2000 - I also seem to remember they turned over the Clarence but there weren’t many City around at the point.
