Been to a lot of away grounds in my 30+ years. Never got involved in any trouble but have seen plenty;
Joke - was bad when we both got relegated to Div 3. We were cornered and fenced in with no exit while the Joke idiots threw bricks. Loads of people walking around with head wounds.
WHU - again last match of the season, and we were relegated. All friendly banter inside. Both sets of fans chanting " hate Man_u" there was even fans exchanging scarves. Then we got outside to WW3. Scary.
Wembley- 1981 replay. Saw a City fans stab an innocent Spurs "Scarfer" who was walking with a City friend. That was horrible.
Millwall - the old den has to be the most intimidating ground to visit. We arrived by coach. We were early. The place was deserted but for a handful of stewards. Not even a Millwall dog on the street. We start to disembark. Then out of no where hundreds of Millwall boys casually walk out of the side streets. No chanting. No gesturing. Nothing. They just stood there watching us get off the coach. That's all they had to do. It was like that scene out of "The Wanderers" where the gang just appears from no where on the football field. Then the stewards and some police arrived. They just casually walked off. Believe me that was scary.
West/South Yorkshire Police just after the miner's strike. They just wanted to fight. Remember at Sheffield Utd one year we were locked in after the game and there was a surge forward to the wooden door. The cops had their batons ready and beat the shit out of anyone nearby. They retreated so the City fans kicked the gate in. I lost a shoe trying not to get crushed. My mate and his dad escaped through the hole in the door and nearly got battered by cops. Me and my dad got out a full hour after the game. Never did find my shoe.
