Hooliganism and Violence Maine Road 80's/early 90's

[Blue Feather]

At the FMC final, against Chelsea, there was a really big firm of City, all black lads, as Chelsea came round our end before KO, I joined in with them, partly for my own protection, but as a young lad of 19 was also up for it and game, the Chelsea firm which was huge were all mouth, they didn't want to know against these lads.

I've said it before, City were scattering the rent boys all round before their inevitable numbers locally sourced made the difference later. Big mob, big lads also plenty of mixed race and white boys too. Every time a gobby Chelsea group made an appearance they were run ragged, saw it all for myself. Quite funny in that once the City lads had done their bit they always sang 'We only hate Man. Utd'

Didn’t they get off at Stockport to battle with the United fans on their way to an away game?
Total nutters

Anyone remember Coventry .?..no honest,in f a cup tie goater scored last minute winner and that was the cue for them to run at the main stand. Imagine getting smartened up by old blokes with flask.mint imperials,and tartan blankets.

Ha ha that made me laugh. You know scousers they think they are the funniest, smartest, most fashionable people out there. Get a few together and they are unbearable.

I once went to watch a Thai boxing event at Fagin's. Paul McGrath was handing out the prizes. A group of scousers asked me to take their picture with him. I'm trying to get them all in and they start, ,"Fucking hell it's David Bailey!" Blah blah blah. I said, "Alright lads if you can do better take your own picture." They had to eat humble pie and apologise so I took the picture. I gave them the camera back and told them if they're trying to get someone to do them a favour it doesn't help to start taking the piss. They can't help themselves, Harry Enfield had the cunts spot on.

Wasn't it about 50 Coventry tried "storming" the main stand but when the gates opened they ran back asking for a police escort to their coaches

Didn’t they have the north stand and a little bit of the main stand that day, think it was outer H block right below where the police box was. I was in C block and pissed myself that their charge towards the main stand stopped almost as quick as it started as they got slapped left, right and centre. Think it also went off after the game outside as kippax came round and slapped them again for even thinking about taking liberties.
