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

For me it has to be Leeds away in the mid to late 70's. It was unbelievably bad and it was one of those places that if you weren't there you couldn't possibly know how bad it was.

On a side note I watched England get beat in Turin by Italy 1-0 in the Euro's 1980. That is the worst game of football I have ever seen violence wise. I'm just glad I was with the son of owner of the hotel we were staying in, and he looked after us big style.
 
too many to single out one

back in the 70's most were bad

even if they weren't then we took liberties at places like ipshit

leeds yes

liverpool too

my own personal worst experience was at birmingham
 
Full Members Cup was wild on the steps outside Wembley, we'd played United the day before and I still hadn't sobered up; bodies everywhere.

I don't expect anybody else will remember but we played Breda in a pre-season friendly and they were crackpots. Blackpool got a bit lively too after a couple of cup games in the 80's and Middlesborough with that fucking Bob End at Ayresome Park full of mouth breathing knuckle draggers was always a bit challenging.

I saw a Wednesday fan get stabbed at the back of Platt Lane at a night match in the 80's, that was a bit upsetting too.

After reading about the aggro in Spain last week, I was wondering what the worst trouble was you've witnessed whilst following City? For me it would be Spurs away in the late 90's. Stopped in a pub near the ground for a quiet drink with a load from our coach. We were in there minding our own business when word must have got out that City were looking for trouble (which we weren't) and all hell broke loose.

A load of Spurs turned up and started by bricking the windows. My mate Gavin was unfortunately by the window at the time having a shandy and ended up having 10 stitches in his head and receiving a concusion for his troubles. The next thing we know and they're comiing through the doors in numbers and I remember one shouting ''Get out of our facking manor'' and them laying into everyone. Now there weren't many blues in there who were into fighting with quite a few older blokes and women there, but this didn't seem to bother these idiots who were hell bent on causing havoc. Tables and chairs were smashed and parts were used as weapons to hit people with and it became very frightening. After a minute or two more blues turned up and came in at which point these cowards decided they didn't want any more trouble. Unfortunately for the Spurs trouble is what they got and they got a right good shoeing including a few digs from the regular blues who had had enough by that point. After the police arrived we were escorted to the ground and the pub had been completely trashed. I seem to remember hearing afterwards that it was closed for about 4 days such was the damage.

Fortunately we've not had many days like that in my experience but that was definitely not a day for the faint hearted!

Worst one was away to the rags - was in a pub near the swamp, cant remember its name but it was at a junction of a few roads and had lots of windows all round

Full of city fans and all i remember was about half a dozen windiws going through and the rag bastards throwing ammonia or similar through the windows - i think all the windows were out through in the end

Coppers took about 5 minutes to get there loads of them got escorted to the game

Think t was a cup game but cant really remember

The one thing i remember was that some cheeky opportunistic bastard made it away with the till in amongst all the shit

Landlord was called Pete i think
