What's the most trouble you've witnessed following City?

[Le Havre Oswald]

Not the worst but funny. a few years ago, west ham at home. Load of trouble outside. I was walking outside on way to car and I heard this thumping nose behind me so looked behind and this police horse was going full speed at me. Just missed me by an inch.



I well and truly shat myself.

[Git of a drive aswell lmao.

yes its a fair trek!

think it was 1993 the cup game. i was inn the ground as spotty teenager with my dad. i wasnt a man city fan then though. nathan blake scored a cracker. the only good thing he ever did. Way overrated.

what a great old ground ninian park was. was there when cardiff beat the great leeds team in 2001 i think it was...ferdinand,viduka,bowyer,fowler and co... 22,000 crammed into a rotten crumbling ground.great atmosphere.and when cardiff scored the winner i thought the terraced roof was going to blow off!

Did Keith Curle take a penalty?.I am sure he did.Nathan Blake rings a bell though.

Millwall away in 99 I think was living in London at the time - horrible area, horrible fans, broken glass everywhere, fire, injured police and marched flanked by dogs to London bridge station. Huge amount of violence and in truth it didn't really involve the city fans as we were locked in for a very very long time. Over 30 Met officers ended in hospital!

Bizarre thing was when we equalised for 1-1 I barely celebrated as I thought we were 2-0 down as I thought a disallowed goal for them had stood and I couldn't understand the celebrations

I remember that game..... Locked in for over an hour then when we came out of the ground it was like a battle had taken place, bricks and stoned all over the streets

... yeah, I remember that one, terrible terrible night.
Glad I'm not alone in thinking it was 2-1 to them ...(disallowed goal for offside just over the halfway line and the freekick looked like a kick-off)... until we were told otherwise waiting to get out of the ground. Bradbury could have got a winner right at the death (which I thought would have been an equaliser). Good job he missed really, considering. Couple of sending offs, couple of mini pitch invasions, fans attacking our players when they went to take throw ins. Bit of a brawl involving most of the players. F*cking horrible.

Typical City gallows humour singing "We're City 'til tonight" whilst waiting to be let out thinking that was was the night we were going to die. Met by scenes of total mayhem on our release (everything smashed up, cars, brick walls, etc.etc.etc) and their nutters sat on top of big walls slinging anything they could get hold of at us on the "march" to London Bridge flanked by riot police with shield to protect us.
Got to London Bridge and my mate went north as fast as he could leaving me on my own to get a train back into Lewisham surrounded by all the Millwall fans. Tried not to open my mouth or look at anybody, but I got rumbled on the train, had to fight my way off the train at New Cross, and chased for about half an hour through the streets. Not a night I EVER want to repeat.

Going to Leeds ground during the 70's, they were nutters, also Goodison where we drew 2-2 in 76-77 season was at night in Oct, got back to the coach and it kicked off, windows was smashed in, was ambushed by the Evertons fans and the coppers could'nt give a stuff, left us to it, lucky nobody got killed that night................

Leeds away 72 on way back to station after Willie equalised!

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.

went to that game there were just a few of us in the bottom corner was 15 at the time remember asking a copper if we were getting an escort just shook his head and smiled. was at the time of stanley knives loads of everton just hanging round near the coaches. was it the same year as well that we played newcastle away in the cup and city fans were in one corner of the ground and the geordies invaded the pitch and got in our end. always remember two massive city lads one with black hair one with blonde being carried out by 6 coppers a piece.

No question. In watching City for 46 years the worst violence was the second leg of the League Cup semi at Anfield in 1981. Fought our way back to the coach to find it on its side with all the windows smashed in. Three people on our coach stabbed. Anyone who was there that night will never forget it. God knows what would have happened had we won!

That was a shocker and the F.A. Cup quarter final at Goodison wasn't much better.
Going to Liverpool/Everton in the 80's felt like you being sent off to war, mental times.
