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

Remember West Brom away April 1977 we won 2 1 or maybe 3 1. West Brom waiting for City to come out, when we did they shat themselves and got legged everywhere. One baggie skin head got cut off from his mates and begged a couple of coppers to save him he was crying and pissed his kicks. The police laughed in his face and said you wanted to fight the Manchester lads here they are get on with it. Had to get to the coach so didn't see what happened. The moral of the tale don't mess with the Cool Cats.
A few comments about WBA away.
Always found The Baggies to be the most "normal" fans in the West Midlands .
Never had anything but a friendly welcome at The Hawthorns.
Anyone been to the scruffy Pub behind the Away End (10 minute walk) run by Asians ?
Scruffy as feck, but a good bunch of home fans go in there and always had a good bit of chat in there...

Fucking cold that night but a very good performance by a very good City team.

Tony Book was a smart,shrewd judge of a player and built a very capable team....until Swales panicked !!

The rest is a long and painful but character building chapter !!

Yep been in there. Half a dozen of us pitched up for a few beers and a game of pool before the match.
The local Baggies warned us that the Asian landlord would try to rip us off on the beer price cos we were visitors...which he duly did.
He soon back tracked when the whole pub slagged him off for being a robber...gave us a rebate and a couple of bags of crisps as compo. So yeah...good lads in there .
 
The vine is the other side of the M5 walk along the tram track
Good pub, great Indian chicken skewers and naan bread for a few quid, good mixture of locals and visitors
That's the one, I thought when the OP said it was scruffy, it didn't seem that bad to me.Obviousky a different place :-)
