Horrible bastards and well organised. I remember playing them at Maine Road when they were banned from travelling away. I was stood outside the ticket office and in the distance you could hear, "The Chelsea united, will never be defeated." Everyone starts looking thinking what the fuck is that? A few seconds later they walked around the corner like a fucking military unit. About fifty of them, all dressed the same. Black reefer coats and docs. They actually marched in a block perfectly, like soldiers on parade. The police quickly surrounded them and took them away but it was a bizarre sight.

Did he demand that 74k stop singing about burning city fans dead or alive on a bonfire every weekDid he demand that his vile club removed 'that' banner ?
He should stand where City fans do getting into the swamp pre match.....he might think himself lucky.

More like he's sick of losing to little CityAsked a rag mate if he'd gone to the Derby at the Etihad this year, he said no, he was sick of being spat at and called a M****h. Nice bloke in his 60s, not all arseholes are rags.

The two games against Everton in the quarters and the league cup semi at Liverpool saw violence on a scale you just don't see now . Peterborough in the 5th round away was a mad day as I recall I was young ,stupid and fit then ,now an FOC with memories good and bad. Would love to live through it again.the amount of trouble on that 1981 f.a cup run was ridiculous

Some day that at Goodison even the Coppers were laying into the City fans, my auntie worked as a nurse at the MRI she said Everton fans were being sent all over Manchester to get stitched up before and after the replayThe two games against Everton in the quarters and the league cup semi at Liverpool saw violence on a scale you just don't see now .

on the special from victoria everyone was up for it but we underestimated the reality.Some day that at Goodison even the Coppers were laying into the City fans, my auntie worked as a nurse at the MRI she said Everton fans were being sent all over Manchester to get stitched up before and after the replay
my memory of it is...
at lime st. the coppers lined us all up next to a fence for 5mins,
on the other side of which were scousers of both variety,
who spat at us the whole time.
no buses to goodison,
we were marched by a police escort to the ground.
half way there one got of his horse and truncheoned me.
i think i managed to get into the ground pretty much unscathed.
after the game it was fucking mental.
never seen anything like it.
the train back to victoria was completely trashed.
the best away day of my life.
