I remember tarquins throwing 'death stars' into the Kippax. First time that I ever saw them.
City lost that day 0-2 iirc.

Same way we got tickets for the Stretford paddock or whatever it was called .back in the day

That was 1982 was in the Platt Lane next to the Oakie Cokie ICF, left early and was dodging fights everywhere

Yep remember that. And then a couple of years later after the airing of the doc about the ICF them poncing about like peacocks getting run past the Princess

What's a death star ? Sounds like something thrown with spikes one them.

Middlesborough did enter the north stand but that was when that part was also the family stand..
Summed them fookers up TBH.

Wasn’t that the game it kicked off outside the Sherwood up and down the road?

Thats roughly what they are. Look similar to a sherrif's badge.

Chinese throwing stars - star shaped bits of metal. They'll stick in wood or your head.
