Intimidating grounds

Elland Rd. and Ninian Park were nice days out , you had to have your wits about you , we used to drive to most away games 4 or 5 of us , you knew if some feral individual asked you for a light they were waiting for the wrong accent in reply and start some aggro , happy days :)

Yeh you would give me a like, begrugingly no doubt. I remember that terrifying walk through the town centre, you had to have eyes everywhere. At any moment some yob would launch a choux pastry at you, taunts of 'you're not fit to be my chauffeur' being hurled at us. I remember being in a boozer trying to blend in thinking to myself I wish I had borrowed my dad's tweeds.
I tried to blend in by talking about their Italian winger Ariga Bianchi but I was sussed out and chased all the way to the ground.
 
Depends if you mean inside the ground or on the way back to the station
Inside probably Millwall, Newcastle, west ham,Portsmouth and Cardiff
Outside the ground Liverpool and Everton because the local police wanted Mancs to get a kicking/stabbing
Birmingham and Middlesborough were always a dodgy walk back to the station
Although the walk back to Leeds Station was edgy we seemed to take enough boys to feel safe(ish)

In no particular order, but around these teams grounds you had to have your wits about you:-

Liverpool, Everton, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Nottingham Forest, Leicester, Wolves, Barnsley, Luton, Cardiff, Stockport County, Rags, Millwall, Tottenham & Chelsea.

I suppose that's quite a lot back in the day!

Forest away seen a few fans being thrown into the trent
 
Newcastle FA Cup game back around 1978 was a bit tasty, loudest I think i've been to was Aris how they generated that much noise without a roof I've no idea they lobbed a few plastic bottles into our corner but outside they were quiet as.

Arighi Bianchi is actually the head of the Macclesfield mafia and if I tell him you spelt his name wrong he will make you an offer you can't refuse
( a dining room table with 2% off the £5000 list price)
