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

I remember the Spurs game when we beat them 5-0 & relegated them. Didn't they arrive late & came in the top of the Kippax before being chased back down the steps?

I was stood in the fenced off away section that the Police allowed us to use as Spurs were bringing no fans apparently with it being a meaningless end of season game.
I looked down the bottom at the turnstiles & just new there were 50-70 Spurs congregating.
Suddenly they charged up the stairs & into this section which had plenty of room in fairness.
Order was very quickly restored by the Kippax after the initial shock & they were chased back down to be protected by the Police at the bottom before relocation through the Platt Lane gate in the corner !

Did the guy with the scarf wallop them

Probably it would have been par for the course

Would that be the original Denmark?
Plenty of away fans come unstuck around Denmark Rd in them days.
A load of Chelsea found out near the Old Abbey after that Friday night game iirc!

Yes, there was a huge patch of wasteland just after it on the Hulme side. I didn't see what had happened but there were frequent ambushes on away fans there.

There was even the odd little incident after they built a science park on that ground.
