We didnt believe it untl the police came into the Whitworth boozer and said you better leave 2000 Millwall are in a police escort ready to cause carnage, He wasn't wrong. It was just as bad afterwards on Wilmslow Road after the game when city fans ran riot and started looting all the shops.
Other than Stoke away when we got relagated the most trouble has been against United. When we beat them 3-1 last derby at Maine Road. We was in the Abbey pub a couple of hours later when a couple of hundred United tried storming the pub, luckily the police intercepted them as we wouldnt have stood a chance as most blues had already gone.
Somehow I got involved with walking with a few blues back from Old Trafford to Maine Road after us drawing 1-1 when Steve Howey scored. I didnt realise there was a planned meet up near the Sherwood with United. It was mayhem, i got chased across Whitworth Park with bricks flying at me, luckily i managed to jump into a cab.
The scariest was after us beating them 2-1 for the 50th anniversary of Muncih. We was in a minibus (ironically passing our own stadium) on the way back, when a transit van passed and threw a bucket of piss at our bus. The traffic lights turned red, which was the cue for a few city fans to run off the bus and head for the Transit. the back doors suddenly opened and a group of reds piled out with hammers and other tools. One crazy bloke was swinging a hammer and smacking the mini bus threatening anyone who had the balls to come near him. Glsd to get ou of that unscathed.
They came unstuck in the science park not long after that incident !
I was in the Abbey that night and yes the Science Park was like something out of Zulu,they were not expecting that!

Absolutely my worst day in football in over 40 years of watching City .....
absolutely terrifying on that two mile run back to the station following that game ... and it WAS a run!
No coppers anywhere , and i've never seen so many yobs hell bent on trouble in my life ... had a scarf nicked , and a bottle missed my head by a matter of inches outside the train station .
Loads of people on the city special were injured .... the few coppers that were about just deserted us and allowed the Leeds hoolies to run riot.
Other bad days came at Newcastle in the cup , in the 80's ..... and a pitched battle near the coaches after a 2-2 draw at Spurs one year in the 70's.
Glad it wasnt just me!
We had moved to Sheffield from Denton and it was my first visit to Elland Road,I was only 11 and my dad was a hero that day,hes from Gorton so explains why he didnt seem to give a shit when someone tried to nick my scarf.
I on the otherhand had to change my underpants when I got home.
Coppers just escorted us to the Leeds mob and then left us,I actually think they enjoyed doing it.
inglebert said:might of been the same game, i also recall everton in the platt lane early eighties, but this rioting went on at the back of the kippax inside the ground, i remember watching it from the steps that led down thinking this is fucking chaos; dibble were getting tattered, i remember west ham in there diamond pringles too lolMad Eyed Screamer said:inglebert said:i remember watching city fans rioting down the back of the kippax at half time against everton in the early eighties, that was a proper eye opener, coppers being dragged off horses, absolute bedlam
You sure that wasn't the Platt Lane stand, midweek game in spring 83? We played the rags on the Saturday after
I was sat in the middle, the Toffee twats had come into the stand at the last minute and congregated at the front in the corner where the away fans stood in the Kippax.
The City boys followed them in and sat right at the back. The next thing, after a few minutes, Everton had a good chance and their fans jumped up thinking they had scored.
Then the City lads ran over the benches, led by Mikey (can't recall his surname) and the Toffee twats were smacked good and proper. They tried to climb the fence to get onto the pitch but were dragged down and given a hiding. The police horses came onto the pitch but were the wrong side of the fence!
Worst I ever saw though was West Ham at home, big number in the Main Stand and the meeting up on Maine Road after and charging down.... I was the last to get into the side entrance of the social club before the doors were shut! Those left outside got a hiding.
The following year, they tried it again but Moss Side turned out in force and they were smacked all over the place, wearing yellow Slazenger jumpers which gave them away!
