Away support playing up?

[Blue Streak]

It's been rare I must admit as many were bricking it for visits to Maine Road, but which away followings did 'take the piss'?

I remember the bench ripping up in the old Platt Lane End by Leeds and also Sunderland fans chucking seats on the pitch after we had relegated them, but little outside.

The only one that springs to mind for me was Chelsea back in the 80's. Friday night game in the old Division Two IIRC? I recall it was chaos in parts.

Coventry in the Cup after Goat's late winner? Didn't they charge towards the Main stand IIRC.

sunderland 92 (?) when we sent them down and they demolished the old platt lane stand.

Spurs back ohhhh I cant remember, was about the time of the Falklands... we gave Villa some shite and (I think) David Cross really crocked either Ardiles or Villa.

Loads of City fans left the Kippax 5 mins before the end and ended up missing a couple (I think) of really late City goals.

The City fans came steaming in the main stand looking for spurs fans.... was quite crapping meself at the time.

That was the season we went down, we got a late pen and then David Cross nicked the equaliser IIRC.
