Scariest away day following City

I went to all the grounds mentioned in this thread other than Millwall from the age of 16 in 1970 (when I started working) to the late 80s and even though it got a bit tricky I never really had a bad outcome.

The one where I thought I was in for a real hiding was the 81 Cup Final against Spurs (first game). Me & two mates were stood at a bus stop near Wembly and we were only about 400 yards away from a pub packed out with Blues. Suddenly we were surrounded by around 50 Spurs fans who didn't seem particularly friendly. Most of them were black and the main man walked up to us and grinned & then they all walked off. I think we didn't get battered because one of my mates was black tbh.
 
Millwall, Leeds, Dippers, Neverton, Sunderland, West Ham, Chelsea, Grimsby

We lived to tell the tale by the skin of our teeth.
Cost us about £50 in whisky though !
 
Members Cup Final - Mad. Chelsea everywhere that day, including in our end at the bottom.

Millwall - the escort to the ground, the turnstiles, having to walk past their stand, being kept in after and then London Bridge scrapping after.

Everton in the league Cup QF. The walk back to the station was a nightmare.

Leicester City in the 80’s. Think it was 0-0.

scariest game I’ve been too though was England v Scotland at Wembley around 88. Think England won 1-0. We were in the end that was 80% Scotland and 20% England and just separated by a line of police. Bedlam all the way there, during the game and after. I was shitting myself in there. It was full of absolute loons in the England bit and jocks just waiting to have a go. A crazy day.
 
Barnsley league cup in 1981. Kicking off all over beforehand, rumours abounded someone got shot coming in through the train window! Half Time the coppers come marching through our end led by a right twat of a Yorkshire bastard Sergeant with the compulsory‘I am hard as fuck me’ cane. Well everyone starts doing the Laurel and Hardy theme. Some of the coppers took it for what it was - a laugh. The rest just looked sheepish. My mate and me are down the front and this Sergeant is purple in the face. They all get out and then from behind we hear “you’ve lost one” one copper got left behind and made the solo trip down to loads of cheers. By now the Sergeant is puce, steam from ears the lot! Fookin hilarious. We lose one nil. Outside the Sergeant was hitting anything that moved with his cane as we left. Not scary, but, what a laugh!
