Scariest away day following City

Went on the special to that Luton game( Deb leading the singing). Never knew they had any sort of crew but they sure did. Boiling hot day iirc.

Indeed, it was hot, hot, hot ! Rodney not happy with being subbed so marched with the band and sat on the touchline with his shirt off IIRC
 
Schalke.
Walking across an eerily empty car park after the game a big bloke dressed in full on German costume came barreling towards me shouting and frothing. As he got closer i decided he was having it, no questions asked. Luckily he stopped about a metre short and we had a Clint Eastwood moment before he turned around, took one step and fell flat on his face.
Ajax pre match.
You all remember the handbags across the canal afternoon they showed on news at ten right?
Well this fucking idiot found himself in their boys boozer on the opposite side to City.
I'd been in the place about an hour and got talking to a sound bloke as we sat outside watching the world go by. I could see my mate i was meeting on the other side.
Things started getting a bit giddy as more of their boys turned up looking for trouble so the Dutch coppers pushed us inside and the shutters came down for a bit. I got sussed and things weren't looking too good for me until the old boy i was with stood up and had a word with a few of the keener lads.
Turned out he was old school hooligan they all knew. Stayed in the bar after the shutters came back up and my new mate pointed out how the Dutch hooligan squad deal with 'arrests' as it unfolded outside. They do not fuck about.
Post match- Scrapping in the rld til 1am.
 
Aye was there kicked off everywhere even inside , not only did we have Chelsea to deal with there was a group of millwall ripping up seats and lobbing them into our end
They didnt last long in our end. They were full of themselves at first, and then scrambling to get out of a small opening in the fence.
 
Nothing really bad fortunately. I've never been to Leeds or Millwall

Though West Ham and Chelsea 84/85 League Cup were very intimidating

Kept in for ages, the fuckers were still waiting for us.
Portsmouth in '85 and Cardiff in 84 were similar.

A brick through the special train at Wolverhampton in 1984 that hit someone and injured him quite badly is the worst I've seen
 
Anyone else go to Chelsea league cup mid week about 83/84 we got stuffed 5-1 it pissed down torrentially and we were in that open end?

Not a big away following that night but still the loons were after us a petrol bomb was thrown and hit the metal corrugated fencing as we were coming away from the ground.

Piss wet through all the way home on the special train.
 
The


then again Cardiff had its moments
Went to Cardiff mid 80s - 200 on train - tasty set of lads - about 100 police waiting for us at station - loads on horseback - surrounded us and escorted us to ground but that didn’t deter the taffs and they continually broke through the escort - did all the aways in those days Chelsea West Ham Leeds Boro Birmingham - all notorious but that trip to Cardiff compared with the others
 
No trouble and it started our relationship with West Ham. I was in the Lion and the Lamb with Mick Fiorini etc when Mick has the construction cap. We marched down Marylebone Road to Kings Cross and we surrounded by Dibble with dogs. They put us on the tube and corralled and detained us at Moorgate. 150 in the cells. I wriggled away from a dibble who had me pinned and dived in a taxi with other escapees. We got relegated and the Hammers applauded us.
 
my personal worst would be newcastle away 1978 fa cup we won 3-1 newcastle brown bottles raining down pitch invasions non stop fighting crazy crazy day, brum away was always bad, leeds away but we often gave them more back, rags was never fun,or either scouse clubs, lets be honest in the 70s most aways where scary, yes i remember full members v chelsea too our new mini bus went back nearly every panel damaged.
Agreed. Leeds are faggots.
