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

[Midlands Blue]

Vaguely remember some Chelsea in the early days of punk in dog collars etc pogoing in the kippax singing Ramones 'Beat on the Bratt'

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

One game that sticks in the mind is City v Everton 81-82
Trevor Francis sent off and Kevin Bond equalizing for City with a long shot

A huge pre match brawl in the Platt Lane which seemed to take the club by surprise, especially as it seemed to erupt in the middle of the Junior Blues section.

It even got a mention in the match programme for the next home game v West Ham (who also took the club by surprise when buying a whole block of seats in the Main Stand)
The did the same thing the following season, but this time all sitting on the opposite side of the Main Stand

Or snitches

We used to sing that in the late '70's. That's where I get my username from.

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.

I got nicked at Peterborough . Spent a night in a cell with a Chelsea fan and a Utd fan from Prestwich who i hitched it home with the next day . Took around 4-5 visits to court before finally getting not guilty . Trains were a nightmare getting there . During my visits to court i even managed to get my jaw broke in a scuffle with Irish Man U fans outside the souvenir shop after the game at Maine Road .
