I went for a piss and when I came out I was the only city fan in there. Got on great with some real hardcore geordie nutters. I was well pidded and ended up being dragged into the middle of their end. Was that pissed that I stayed there with them and led a rousing chant of "We are the champions"...They'd won the fairs cup so they all joined in.
Think it was the same season, certainly the same venue. We played Newcastle in the cup. Some knobhead pissed down the back of my jeans and I was arrested for chinning him. The copper put me in a room and told me to stay there, then he left me. It was a 1st aid room and a nurse came over to ask if I felt ok. I said yes and she told me I could go...I did sharpish.
At the same game (after I'd fucked off) I chucked a bog roll. A couple of seconds later, half a dozen coppers ran up and dragged a Newcastle fan stood next to me (who was totlly innocent) out of the ground.
Went to watch Oldham v Mansfield with a group of city fans...To repay a visit by some Chaddy Road Enders in the Kippax. I started to have a go at a bloke in a rag scarf...I gave him a load of grief and abuse...I got nicked, he was an undercover copper...ooops!
At the old (Stoke city) Victoria Ground, it had been a war zone in the Boothen End and the battle had gone on since well before the kick off. Tempers were really blown. At the final whistle I was trying to find a mate and trook my time getting out. Outside the ground, I was on my own and things were getting a bit hectic. I heard a massive chant for City so ran towards it, only to find it was several hungred WStoke fans on the warpath...I could run fuckin fast in those days....I scarpered.
A City v rags youth cup match in the late 60s at the swamp. They had about 3,000 in the Shitford End, We had about 50 in the scoreboard. Before the end, we watched their end empty and within a few minutes, a couple of thousand of them massed waiting for the gates to open outside our end. It was scary. As the gates opened, my mate shouted "CHARGE" and about 30 City rans ran at them. I was shitting myself and thought we would be leaving in a fleet of ambulances. It was hilarious as the massed rags turned tail and ran away. We fucled off the other way just to be on the safe side.
