Stoke im sure it was 1999, the britannia was fairly new, mid week game.
A ballsup fro mthe start, was a last minute thing, my mate rang and said ive got a spare for stoke do you want to come, his dad drive us down, dropped us about a mile away from the ground
As we walked up to the ground, every cab we asked to take us home told us to politely get stuffed
It was pretty moody in the ground, lots of stoke fans basically seemed to spend the whole game throwing things / gesturing at the city fans, and i mean ALL GAME
Wiekens scored late on, i think, which promted a large section of the yobbos from stoke to leave the ground, only for them then to appear to the right, where the road slants down, there is a gap between the stands, and they were making cut throat gestures etc.
Full time whistle goes, no way of getting home, we make our way outside
NExt thing, the stoke fans stormed the city fans, as there was only temporary fencing seperating us (like you find surrounding a building site), police dogs off leads, horses on the motorway etc
We got ushered onto a double decker bus, and the stokies were trying to tip it over...nice
It took us to the station, we got there before anyone else, more blues started to come through, and i remeber a lad appearing on the oposite side, looked well up for a scrap, acting dead cocky - more stokies then turn up, verbals exchanged across the track
This lad then unzips his coat, to reveal a city shirt! it goes right off, stokies running under the track to get to our side, it was mental
