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

[bridgeblue]

I was in their main stand along with lots of other City fans.

City had a huge following that day, estimated at 13000.

Lids fans attacked young kids and families as usual, but more than met their match outside the dog track and station !!

Those days clubs got allocated 25% of the. home clubs capacity. We got over 12000 tickets. We had half the Lowfeild road terrace, plus most of the South stand behind the goal. City fans were also escorted from various sections of the home end, into ours. Hell on earth after the game, fighting as bad as I have seen and I have followed us home and away since 1976

The proximity of the home fans next to away fans on all 3 levels, especially on level 1, in-between our 2 singing sections is the main cause of our 68% home arrest rate.

No arrests in Merseyside. What a surprise.

The next time they were at Maine Rd they were paid back in spades. Saw a dozen Leeds getting pelted with bottles outside the supporters club. Uniteds boys were out in force in town and joined with City to give Leeds a real Manchester welcome. Might have made them think twice about pitch invasions.

I’ve read about this match many times on here, sounds like this channel has a few of the details wrong again though like the last video posted by them

Absolute bollocks. Not how I remember it

3000 City fans? Fucking largest 3000 I’ve ever seen

We had the South Stand and over half of the Lowfields… over 12,000 easily.

The City boys I knew would never and never did join up with the ragshite, once Leeds had gone they spent there time looking for the ragshite,

Their was a story at the time that the 10 year old nephew of one of Uniteds top boys had been beaten up along with his dad at Elland Rd. The United top boy swore vengeance on Leeds and brought a firm to attack Leeds. Nearly 50 years ago now and could well be bullshit, but was not the only time City and United fought common enemies in Manchester, scousers at semi finals also spring to mind. Different times thank god.
