THE MOST INTIMIDATING and ON TOP PLACE YOU HAVE

EVER BEEN TOO ?

Mine was Westham UTD away in 1977/78 Season, My first Away game.
I went up on the old Ader Glas Coaches with Mia Daniels(RIP) Supporters club.

800 Cardiff went, nearly all lads, on the coach trip up everyone was already fearing the worst and they were right.
In the Ground we got attacked at half-time by Westham on the other side of a small brick wall behind the goal we were and then a mob of Westham attacked us from the chicken run on the side, they jumped over and ran straight in to us, grown men and we were mostly kids, even the police ran at one stage, after they had given us a good mulling, the police restored order.

At the end of the game they attacked us again and even walked out with us, chased us to our coaches and even got on them to give us a battering.
Then 2 miles down the road they ambushed the coaches by a park, Cardiff finally had a go back, as we well out numbered them here. Eventually every window of of all the coached were put in by them.

I went back there the next yr, only 200 went and most of us left half-time, 3rd yr in the night I went and we took 25 fans.
Rem the Soul Crew wasnt formed till 1982

millwall always has been.

Has to be leeds and millwall, more so in the 70s and 80,intimidating as hell but bloody great days out,we had leeds in the fa cup
in 74 i think,and the odd game at villa park and old trafford.

It was a day I will never forget.
The Barry Boys had some good lads in them days.

Dont even have to think about that one Birmingham 84 (about) Guy next to me got done with a machete down the back of his head down part of his back. Still f*cking haunts me now.

I rem it was Steven Kajet, good friend of mine, he has the scars on his head to testify.

As a Man Utd fan, it's got to be either Anfield or Elland Road - probably Anfield just shading it. I hate the bin dippers with a passion, way more so than the Leeds scum, but they were nasty blade merchants - very rarely failed to turn out for our visit (even if they were not a force to be reckoned with generally !!).

Jesus Chief allways wandered how he was it was in this tipe of subway which went up to the next level pitch dark. outside the station. I was at the front with your mate then these Zulus appeared dont knpw how many but more than one i could see the whites of there eyes and teeth and some metalic flashing all a bit hazy im afraid.
But it was complete panic and a mad struggle to get back up the stairs . And when we got out this guy was covered in blood. It was f*cking manic.

boro away 84.

Millwall at the old Den in the 70s.Went there with a mate when we were in school & told our parents we were going to work on a farm for the day.He was born in Hackney & came to South Wales as a 12 year old & wanted to meet some old school mates who were Millwall fans.We went up on the supporters coach & arrived at mid day, the next 5 hours were to be the most terrifying experience i've ever had.Total mayhem from the time we got off the bus to getting back on the bus (minus the windows), i've never seen a mob who wanted to mame anybody like these, psychopaths in butchers coats who's sole intention was to inflict as much pain as possible.I'll never forget being asked the time with a knive being pressed to the back of my neck.This was a time before police escorts & travelling away meant you were on your own, 2 got stabbed & another bottled as soon as we got off the coach.Virtually every team who visited the Den in this era came unstuck & probably the only one who had some kind of result was West Ham, that's all i can say is, they must have had one hell of a mob.

Russia V England 2007 - One hell of a trip especially running the gauntlet with three other Engliand boys who I met on the plane on the metro and then on the walk to the ground!!

I bet that was mental mate.

Thats the worst situation I have ever been in and that spans since the early eighties following England and since about 95 of following city !

Mallo remember leeds swansea what a day that was i remember you giving leeds shit on he way back on the train

Millwall away in the Auto Windscreens Cup. It was a late decision to go so we drove. London was rammed so we left the car and got the tube. Luckily for us a Millwall lad spotted us and took pity on us and walked us to the ground else I am sure the 3 of us would have got battered. Was still scared though when a mate of his spotted him and started chatting to him. We tried to skulk away and he called us back said we might get stabbed if we walked down to the ground alone.

After the game surrounded by loads of Millwall dying to get at us and we had to get the tube back to the car. Luckily City fans took pity on us and dropped us a bit away from the ground.

I was also quite intimidated at Doncaster away but that's because a few pissed up City fans thought me and my mate were coppers and wanted to kick off with us.

I have been to all the usual big name places with city

but some of the worst trouble was at places like exeter, northampton and even lincoln in the early eighties

we were outside the away end at brum and were trying to persude brumaway85 to go to the hospital , he was sitting on the little wall , but he wasnt having any of it, despite not really knowing where he was

and it was a butchers meat hook that did the damage

not my idea of a fun day out

although at the end of the game birmingham invaded the pitch and this right gobby fool came right up to the fence but was less gobby a few moments later as a rock thrown from our end knocked him clean out and he was carried off on a stretcher bandaged up like a mummy

maybe it was brumaway85 and his moment of revenge
