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

Swindon away in ´87 was quite a day. I travelled up from Pompey as I was studying there; arrived at the ground to be told ticket-only and none available. It was absolutely pissing down, eventually they opened up a side paddock, we won 4-3 but City were everywhere in their stand and brawling broke out every time we scored. Waiting for the train later running battles outside the station, on the platform. IIRC some of their fans came badly unstuck when targeting a City transit van, not knowing who was in it - it wasn´t full of students heading back to Pompey.
First time in two years going away I saw us win that day
Missed Bradford the previous week as started a new job

I was away as a student when we beat Bradford. Only knew the next day getting the newspaper. 4-2 wasn’t it? Stewart got a brace, they went up that year j think too. We wore black and red check away kit.

We all (about 150 odd of us) scaled over the metal railings from where they had us fenced in n all got on the pitch.

Top day out n very very rare away win to boot.

Bradford didn't go up, we got promoted at Bradford the season after

Had so much trouble with Everton away !
First time I had my nose broken goodis on park 1978 blindside punch , honestly it was , I would have sorted him otherwise !! Might have run a mile really!!
Remember we had a big crew and a guy called Johnny Maddockso ( ex scout leader in Ancoats) was marching up the street in front of us all telling us where to go ! Madness and so glad it's all gone.
