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

West Ham late 80s

at the Swamp for a couple of derbies their fans really are the missing link!

Spurs walking from the Underground at Seven sisters got bricks thrown at me and me mates
 
Saw a bit of trouble at turf moor after city-Burnley in 2001 and at maine road in 2001 against spurs
 
the derby game only a few years back at the Kings Head was a rough night!and the red cunts didi'nt even go to the game was'nt there myself but new a few who was

evryweekend in town in 80' & early 90's there was kick off with Ushited! the cyprus, hortsbar, dry bar, brannigans just to name a few even oldham used to come to town looking for it with City back then
 
Wigan away, League Cup, maybe 1982. Night game, they were 4th Division and it was raining, if I recall correctly. Grass bank behind the goal at Sprigfield Park, horses sliding up and down, horrible night. 1-1 draw and lots of bother but I honestly don't recall it being fan on fan. It was The Police against City fans. Again, I think this is right. I remember being pushed back into some sort of shed that was all they had as a stand at the back of the grass terrace.

Was that a big grassed area on the left towards town, where you couldnt be seen till it was too late? ( i was about 14 and it was dark ) ;)
It was a big grassed area like a small park we were taken it via an underpass then the attacked from above and a massive crew came running across the motorway stopping the traffic and there was another firm in front of us,the older lads were shouting stand and fight and about 100 of us did ,and unbelievably they slowed down as they got near us we then moved forward and it was off hand to hand all along the line but we stood and were giving It to them I think most of them were astounded that we had stood there 100 against maybe 2000 and then typically west yorkshires coppers then attacked us with the massive batons and moved us towards the other 300 or so city who had taken off when Leeds attacked, the noise they made that night when they came at us is something that still lives in my memory it was like the Zulus attacking at rorkes drift

Everton away that night was a fun night, i cant remember what station the escort ended up taking us back to, but it had a big ramp leading to it. was going off on the platform until the train pulled away and the lads jumped on as it was leaving.

happy days

It was lime St they took us back to there was thousands of them there trying to have a go,one scouser was leaning over the barrier telling us how lucky we were that we were still alive after the attacks they had made on us ,and then told us we would get it again at the replay but he leaned over the barrier too far and got caught on the chin with an absolute
peach of a punch and saw stars for a few minutes,only problem was that when got in the station all of us not going back to Manchester had to walk through to more scousers who wanted to give us a different kind of smile before we got on the train and who should be there but the scouser with stars in his eyes and him and his mates wanted revenge for their mates trip to the floor, but for once the old bill were there and his plans were thwarted even though it was kicking off on all of the platforms it was like a war zone,with the scouse baying for blood,the train finally pulled off and you were at last able to breath a sigh of relief that you were still in one piece,it was an absolutely mental day

That brings back some memories,lot of City scallies there that night,same lot that used to nick /wreck their way through Blackpool.
 
I'm 37 so missed the real dark days of the 70's and early 1980's although I've read and heard many, many stories.

I think though anyone who was at the Brittania back on that fateful day we fell into the third level will never forget the scenes outside as it was a battlefield as wooden stakes, bricks, bottles, rocks, stones filled the sky.

I went on my older brothers stag do a few weeks later and one of the lads on it worked for Staffordshire Police and he told me it was the worst seen for 30 years.

Another that springs to mind was a game at Burnden Park for Nat Lofthouse before the start of the 1989-90 season. The aggro after the game was intense to say the least. We were on that open away end and locked in for a while, then outside on Manchester Road the Bolton thugs were lined up on both sides of the road like that infamous scene in Zulu. Be interested if anyone else remembers this game?
