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

That's the one, I thought when the OP said it was scruffy, it didn't seem that bad to me.Obviousky a different place :-)
The Pub (about 5 minutes behind the Away End), certainly didn't serve food, so not The Vine.
Think it only opened on match days. Scruffy as anything, didn't see any other City fans, but not threatening...
 
Remember West Brom away April 1977 we won 2 1 or maybe 3 1. West Brom waiting for City to come out, when we did they shat themselves and got legged everywhere. One baggie skin head got cut off from his mates and begged a couple of coppers to save him he was crying and pissed his kicks. The police laughed in his face and said you wanted to fight the Manchester lads here they are get on with it. Had to get to the coach so didn't see what happened. The moral of the tale don't mess with the Cool Cats.
Think maybe the same game a big West Brom lad was stood in the road giving it "come on then"

We were in a transit van and he was in front of us near the ground. We were going mate just fuck off out of the way we need to park up.

Daft **** carried on gobbing off...........one of the lads got out. The poor **** got leathered.
 
The only time I went to WBA was a evening match, Brian Gayle?? conceded a goal because the floodlights blinded him. Didn't see any argy bargy though.
 
Think that was the 88/89 season. I was politely asked to leave the ground by the police for singing I do like to be beside the seaside etc
Wasn’t that the year the Guvnors went in the West Brom end and were filmed by the undercover cops who were building evidence against them
