Tax discs in cars and vans used to give a lot of away fans a nasty surprise.


Hooligans looking at post office tax disc stamps....funny as fuck.

Utd picked on dads with kids....seen it first hand at a Derby at Maine Road.

City dad covered in blood with a kid on each hand. I asked him what happened and he said a crew of reds started on him and did a few digs with his kids watching.

I won't tell you what we did next.

Oh go on.... :-)

We had no colours on and saw a mob of reds near Wilmslow Road looking for lone City.

Probably the same mob that had attacked this dad.

We walked up Platt Lane chanting Utd. The daft cunts thought we were reds.

Geoff Lomax at right back and a Scottish band to make all the City lads feel at home :) Just before Christmas if I remember correctly?

Went to them both...wasn't there a bomb or something in London on the day of the Cambridge game
..my memory not as good as it used to be

Always a bit of action on Claremont Road or Lloyd Street or on the way to town.

Or Hough End near The Princess pub when the coaches were there.

Yes it was generally, but I’m referring to Boro that day. Up towards the Sherwood.

I remember a Liverpool game and a small crew of scousers came unstuck near the Sherwood.....they were game as fuck and wouldn't run.

Do you remember Boro chanting:

Middlesborough
stick together

The IRA bombed Harrods around that time

Edit: Just checked and your memory is spot on - December 17th 1983 which was the same day we played Cambridge away

Scousers were rum fuckers, but usually came unstuck at Maine Road, as far back as early 70s. Don’t remember that Boro chant, just remember them getting swamped near the Sherwood and the OB surrounding them against the School fence opposite, to protect them.

similar with the scousers saved by the dibble although a few still ran in and kicked or punched the cunts with police unable to really do much or not arsed. They eventually sneaked off and tried to blend in suddenly not so gobby. Blues then just went to the boozers or home.

I need to stop replying on these threads as my head goes back there like it's yesterday.
