Scariest away day following City

We lived to tell the tale by the skin of our teeth.
Cost us about £50 in whisky though !
Went to Poznan and remember passing a couple of lines of armed/riot cops coming out of the ground, then turning a corner and having to find way back to the city centre. Stadium was new and i remember there were lumps of discarded builders rubble etc outside and it wasnt very well lit. An interesting trip all round but thankfully didnt come to any harm.
 
Leeds, both scouse late 70s early 80s were never a joy, utd at home always moody then, was in boardroom after one, few of us and loads of utds lads walked in, scary as fuck but got a walkover, somehow!

Some copper on horseback tried to stop me and I nearly got flattened until I flashed him my away end ticket. He rightfully called me a f*cking idiot, before letting me through.

We lost 1-0.
 
Saw some scary stuff at places like Leeds, Stoke, the North East but that was one game I was convinced I wasn't going to get out of alive.
I was in the United Road paddock with a mate who was a red and his Dad so wasn't as fearful as PB but it was definitely a hostile atmosphere all game. Having said that as a Salford lad was always wary that some school mate would spot me and point out I was a blue
