Ever had to stand/sit in opposing fans' area?

[Tuearts right boot]

Leeds, Spion kop, late 70's, got lost and ended up in there. There were 3 or 4 of us all speaking in stupid made up Yorkshire accents,sort of taking the piss but mainly to prevent our heads getting caved in.Players came on the pitch and the quiet one of our lot erupted with the flicking of Vs and all the usual effing and jeefing,I can even remembering him foaming at the mouth as he would normally do on the Kippax,except he'd forgotten he wasn't there this time. The rest of us just left him to it and dropped to the floor and crawled down to the touchline for an escort into our end. My mate was OK although Christ know how or why.

Stretford End at the Swamp - was Rags vs Derby in 2000'ish - with my 8 & 10 year old kids - sat on my hands and said not a word - awful.

Leicester, Boro, & Sunderland.

Leicester in 03/04 was tough to keep stum, relegation a real possibility, the penalty save. etc. Thought I'd done well to avoid giving myself away except when the final whistle went a few wished me a save journey home and said they hoped we'd stay up.

Sunderland in 11/12, when they scored in injury time, I left my seat headed to the exits only to be nearly trampled to death by their fans returning from the concourses. It was fairly obvious I didn't share their joy but I don't think they were that bothered.

Also found myself in the wrong end at Brammall Lane in 72. Followed a group of City fans in thinking it was the away end before I realised they were a group of nutters intent on mayhem. They couldn't understand why I was following them. Managed to make it to the away end whilst only being bottled once.

Surprised the Blackburn 4-1 promotion game hasn't had a mention.

I was in main stand for that and we must have had 4000 or more in their end that day.

Have also done Everton twice and Blackburn when Anelka scored winner.

I was in with the Reading fans at their old stadium, the week after we beat Huddersfield 10-1. Paul Stewart scored two and we won 2-0, but I managed not to celebrate when either goal went in even though I could see the City fans at the other end going crazy. The funny thing was, after the 10-1, their fans were relieved we'd only won by 2 against them, so they were in pretty good spirits despite the defeat, and I might have got away with admitting my allegiance!

Wembley against Wigan, bloody pie eaters.

Bradford away for Morleys late equaliser to get promoted was one I remember the most ( loads of blues all in bottom right hand side behind the goal.


Also did it for Liverpool away 1st game of season the following season....we got beat 3 - 1 but I still got smacked as I had forgotten where I was and jumped up when we equalised n stroke of half time !


Done it also at Blackburn ( day of hillsbrough ) and notts county in the cup.


In fact I don't think I have ever seen City win when I have not been in the right end !

 

[pablozabaleta]

Me and my cousin sat in with the Sunderland fans when Ji Dong Won scored in the last minute to win 1-0. They cottoned out quite quickly that we were city fans but after letting them know we were season ticket holders who missed out on away tickets they seemed to be alright with us. They have millions of empty seats anyway so if things did get a bit 'nawty' then we could have easily moved

I can beat all of you and this story is completely true.

Last match of the season 1968.
My dad wouldn't let me go to Newcastle, and those were the days and culture when disobeying your dad got you aright kicking. A mate of mine had a ticket for Utd versus Sunderland in the Stretford End.
I went.
Imagine trying to keep quiet as Sunderland scored twice in beating the scum.
Imagine then having to try to keep shtum as the announcer gave the score from Newcastle.
Its the only time in my life I was shitting myself and screaming inside with pleasure simultaneously.
