i was on the special at leeds, i remember when our train was leaving victoria a train full or ranger was just arriving , it was twice the size of the city train !

We had a bad day in Leeds,couple of rags at Victoria asking us to join up with utd,they got a kicking and city went to the waldorf with rangers,which was a big utd pub in them days, and smashed it up.

I was talking about the City v Chelsea European Cup Winners cup semi in the 70s mate.

Yes I Know a Freudian error from me

 

[cyberblue]

I remember the home leg of the Cup Winners Cup semi-final - guess it must have been 1971. I think we lost both legs 0-1 with Osgood scoring.

There was murders going on with groups of fans fighting all along the road back towards Piccadilly - different times

I was at the one at Stamford Bridge
Biggest away following by City Id seen
Bigger than when we played them earlier in season in FA Cup

Yes it was 6th round day City,Rags and Leeds not involved,we played Leeds in League game and Rags had a friendly or not so friendly game v Rangers.1974 50 year's ago unbelievable,remember in the evening at Belle Vue at a club called the Zoobdo disco part of the Elizabethan hall lots of Rangers in all pissed up and we all had a good time.

Regarding the Rangers game. Did not the lack of a Fan Zone with proper screens ( could have used Platt Fields) and the crap screen that Kearney and his Pals put up right in the centre of Pics contribute to the mayhem that followed. Also Manchester's finest GMO not having a Clue how to deal with the situation. There were plenty of options available but Kearney and Co didn't look at any.

‘Kearney’ was never going to be Rangers friendly, & he wasn’t

I thought it was 'we don't carry razors, we don't carry lead, all we carry is hatchets to bury in your head, we are all supporters, fanatics every one, we hate man united and leeds and leeds and leeds...'

Correct

 

[If I die in the Kippax St]

Chelsea so different in those days to what they are like now. All clubs fans have changed but none more than chelsea

That’s because the hooligans are all old men or dead

We only carry hatchets, the rest is spot on.
