Against 'Boro in the cup in 1997. It was the first time I had seen trouble on that scale at a game, iirc somebody died after getting kicked by a police horse. Being 13 at the time probably skewes my memory of it and just how bad it was, but at the time it seemed like a war zone.

I've just remembered a game at Maine Rd, think it was Coventry City? They had the North Stand and for some unknown reason stormed the Main Stand (very cowardly considering the elderly and families were sitting there) and it got rather nasty. I remember thinking ''What the fuck'' as I couldn't see the reasoning behind it. The Kippax tried to help out but the police were stopping us if I recall correctly.

A Goater last minute goal in the FA Cup triggered them storming the Main Stand. Not exactly what you would expect from Coventry.

Midweek cup match at Maine Road against the Spuds outside the North Stand was a bit hairy.................God i miss Maine Road :-(

Before segregation, the Kippax was a big battleground for cup games - remember Sunderland '73.

The 70's and 80's were always fun away days but for me, Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough, was always scary especially New Year's Day '78 when we were surrounded by 'Boro and Geordies helped by the old bill.
