Most intimidating ground you have been too?

watching Cardiff ?

watching Cardiff ?

Newcastle away about 1980 when Bennet players were playing only 100 cardiff there and the geordies were evil that day.

Hull away when we lost there 4-0 or maybee 4-1 rthey had a sell out and only 100 or so of us place was bumping

Westham Away 1978/79 Season, I was 13 yrs old. We were battered inside/outside/on the coaches, then later they ambushed the coaches by a park, 800 City Fans, next yr I went only 200 went then the next yr 25 of us went in the night, we left half -time.

Leeds, the first game up there since the FA cup win, West ham was'nt bad either.

Nurenberg watching wales lose 4 1 with all the neo nazis

Do I know you Elliot?

Easily Cold blow lane, we scored two goals in the first ten minutes and our centre half Dwyer had laid out one of the Millwall players...you could see the whole ground start walking over to the corner the 200 of us were gathered...no fences themdays, about 20 cops, tyhe cops said you better run Taffs we can't stop that lot...great news for a 16 year old lol,,, then a Millwall fan ran on the pitch and attacked Dwyer...Millllllllllwaaaaaalllllll!!!!!!!!!!!! Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnssss!!!!!! they soon surrounded us and we were fighting for our lives we managed to get out of the stadium...it was still only 3.15....climbing over spiked fences... boots and fists flying everywhere...I amanged to get isolated with three or four other City fans and realized the main Millwall mob had spotted us...no choice but to jump over the 4ft wall into the bushes....unfortunately they were the tops of trees not bushes and a twenty odd foot fall through the branches into a load of brambles and blackberry bushes.

Managed to get into a large building through an open window in the building...it was an hospital and we waited there until 4.30
...we drew straws to go back to the coaches to tell them to pick us up and someone went...Paul Thomas(fish shop in Dowlais) turned up...he said to follow him, he had a Millwall scarf he had go off a Millwall fan during the fighting...he got us youngsters back to ther coaches...just about everyone was battered or bruised...but we won 3-1 that was the main thing

Cold Blow lane Millwall....no comparison in the 1970;s in my opinion.

I went in the FA Cup,( to Cold Blow lane) but I didnt feel that intimidated as cardiff turned out big.

here is what it looks like http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doc ... 012824132#

Millwall The Old Den, first Sunday game bricked as soon as we got off the coaches and the during the short walk/run to the turnstiles. City stuffed them 3-1 I seem to remember. We were Kept in the ground for about 45 mins. after the game. Got back to the coaches without problem. But then all the Coaches ran the gauntlet as we drove away, bricks flying from all directions windows going through bottles leaving the bus as quickly as the bricks entered. The bus I was on was not allowed to return to Cardiff due to a lack of windows including the rear one.

The police escorted us to a pub in Fulham where we stayed until the pub shut, and a relief coach from Slough turned up only to go via Slough to fill up. Got back to Cardiff at 2AM.

What a day.

blue view .i was on that millwall trip on a sunday morning i seem to remember,thought we won 4-0 but shite memory,it was the 1 day you didnt mind if cardiff had lost so we wouldnt get such a battering ,but cardiff played the best footy they had in years.then bak to elephant and castle for beers cos theyd bricked our buses,had a good swig there to selttle the nerves,mad day out,easily the most frightning day for me watching the city,but corkys sounds even worse just reading about it.

Ninian Park.

I was on the same family rail card as you

I agree, definably the most intimidated I have ever been at a football game, they waited until we were going past their pub, no singing from them, then the shout went up and they just laid into us, bottle glasses. Mingled in with us in the ground, picking us off, I got slapped in the ground, we had a little revenge after when our coach got bricked, we did get off and managed to dish a few out.

White Hart lane around the same time was also very intimidating, again many of them came in with us and were dishing it out but we did have a go back.

I was at Newcastle around that time & i think we lost 3-0 when the midget geordies were trying to get UNDER the fence to get at us - thick as f**k !!

west hams upton park, wolves was pretty intimidating

Glad you remembered the score.

A mate of mine was at Corky's game. He's always maintained that was one day he was shitting bricks.

i cod well be wrong tho, was a shit scary day,just remember gettin off those buses in the car park,big docker guy standing there holding his sons hand and saying stay by there a minute son while he tried to smack everyone getting off bus.then walk to ground few mins down the stairs tru those bushes ,fuk awful place to go.

mind you we still went back every year like mugs but it was very rare that they came to ninian and possibly never again after the 1999 massacre

millwall old den! had a rock thrown at my head, gash and blood everywhere

very scary for a younf boy penned in a fence

Edgar Road 1976, there were f*cking mad taffs everywhere

worcester city pre season friendly in the 80s the locals loved us

Remember Annis talking about Worcester the other night, and the eventful days he's had , .I live right behind there ground now , they rarely get over 600 for a game, all the worcester lads support the baggies or wolves, quite sad really.

Again Millwall when dwyer head butted a player,only 16/17 got battered got chased out of the ground,caught a bus to marble arch,tube to paddington,train to hereford via birmingham,train from hereford to abergavenny,thumbed a lift from abergavenny to brynmawr with 2 pakistanie doctors in a ford capri,walked from brynmawr to rhymney and home all this with about £2 in my pocket.strange but very true

Cold blow lane and Aryseme Park (Borough old ground)

West Ham in the 80s

Millwall in mid 70s, Im sure it was the game when Joey Dwyer got attacked by one of their fans. We got there late and went into the Walls equivalent of the bobank, City fans and Wall were scrapping it out most of the game and me and my 3 mates were just wondering about. My mate foolishly asked one of the coppers if he could take us to the Cardiff end, he told us to f**k off and walked passed us and then we had noticed balloons going up around us and getting closer. Of course no mobbies them days and so the balloons was to let the loonies know that they had intruders. very scary day and has to be the most intimidating ground about.
