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

I wish I had been a bit more aware of what was going on at the time. Was pissed and oblivious at most matches. A lad that went with us even said he was convinced someone was an undercover cop...he was right. With hindsight and other info that came out (pre trial and during it) there were so many clues to the fact Operation Omega was going on.
They stood out at this game, blatantly filming.
But as it was only a few weeks before the eventual dawn raids, i think they didn't give a fuck about coming out of the woodwork and were just topping up on all the evidence they had already acquired previously
 
Anyone remember when about 50 Middlesbrough came into the back of the north stand near the end of the match. Must have been late 90s? It was mental for what seemed like 5 minutes. I think they got a pasting in the end.

Yep, i remember it well, it kicked off a few minutes and then they got chased back out .....

Remember about 30 Bradford Ointment being at the front of the North Stand,

Was near the beginning of the match. December ‘97. We won 2-0, one few games we beat them around that time. Still got relegated though.

They came in, threw a few digs around then went out.

Remember a bald old twat at the front who was game as fuck. They had a bit of a reputation about 30 of them made a bit of a name for themselves

Was near the end as I recall. They left their section in the North Stand (Clearly observed), and came in the top right of the North Stand. They got more than they bargained for.

Yep Definitely top right - I was middle right at the time. I was steaming so I’ve got my timings wrong by looks of it!!
Think it was year before I caught sight of them just as they marched mob-handed into The Clarence - just before ko so all City lads (handily) had left for the game.
