Where have you ever stood/sat in the away end?

[more lazy than useless]

The main one I remember is once in the late 80's when I was even more skint than usual and my sister got dropped off by the b-in-law to go shopping with the mrs. He was a ST holder at OT, as was his brother, who couldn't make it. Asked me if I wanted to go (it was a derby). I was out the door and in his car before he'd finished the question.
It was only when we were parking that the obvious hit me. We would be in the Stretford End! Somehow managed to not give myself away. When we scored I just leaned closer to him and very quietly whispered "ha". It was a totally undeserved draw, which somehow makes it all the sweeter.

Stood at:

The Swamp when we drew 1-1 and Bobby Brightwell scored a cracker. Was in the paddock at the front of the main stand right behind him as he hit it.

Anfield, in the Kop when we drew 2-2 with a last minute Quinny header.

In the 70s before strict segregation nearly every away match involved mixing with opposition fans, at some grounds there'd be a rough dividing line of a few coppers if you were lucky. At grounds like Chelsea, WHam, Spurs, Brum you just took your chance and largely kept your gob shut unless there were large numbers of blues around, which wasn't always the case at those places.

absolutely. i've been in the middle of opposition fans at spurs, arsenal, chelsea, west ham, liverpool, everton, birmingham, burnley, bolton, ipswich, fulham, stoke, leicester, cardiff, swansea & numerous others including the rags & even stockport.

A few times at the swamp, although in Corporate with work, the 2-1 win under Sven was memorable - the last people out of the 'suite' after a good few hours celebrating. Other than that Burnley away in Div 2 when we won 6-0, with a goat hat trick. A few City fans jumped after the second goal, got jumped on and escorted out, iirc the 3rd goal soon followed. Cue for quite a few Burnley fans to leave the ground, obviously looking to find the City fans just thrown out. Sat on my hands most of the game, quite a lot of trouble outside the ground at the end, and couldn't celebrate until we got back to our minibus!
Reading the other stories on here, a bit of a lightweight I suppose!!

No need to feel a lightweight mate whether or not you've watched City in an away end or not. We're all Blues and its good to share some of our experiences over the years and the length you go to.

Was in the Scums end at the derby when Giggs made his debut and allegedly scored (Hendry deflection) as we were walking out a load of the twats said see ya blues, twats.

In with the Stockport County inbreds when we took the lead through Super Jamie Pollock but drew 2-2 in the end, they fucking hated us loads of scuffles during that game, saw it kicking off here there and everywhere.

Whilst writing this thread I went on youtube and looked the Leeds v City FA Cup game from 77/78 where there was crowd trouble on the pitch and just watch Gordon Mcqueen throw a cracking punch at his own keepr David Harvey on 57 seconds. Bang on the chin and Harvey just stands there as if to say "is that your best shot". They really dont make footballers like this anymore and a fucking great City team to watch.

I was behind the goal at this game in our end, i remember at full time some big fekkin Leeds fans leaning over the wall at the rear of our block swinging punches at anyone passing until a few of our 'bigger' boys managed to jump up and smack a few of them and drag one over...loads of Leeds waiting outside but the City fans just legged it out the gates and Leeds did a runner...exciting times...

back on track...away ends... hmm hazy days.. Derby, Bolton, Sheff United, Swamp, Everton, Blackburn, Wolves...(shit myself when my phone started playing Bluemoon)..a nasty bunch..

Utd 4-2 Fa cup game - North Stand 4th tier or something datf. Couldn't see the other side of the ground on the touchline below us.

Port Vale won 2-1 I think SWP made his debut not 100%.

Stockport Cant remember the score Seen Curly watts too. Was around 10 years old.

Bury in a pre season friendly 0-0 most boring match ever.
