FC UNITED LAST YEAR

[Timperley The Best]

wigan 87 and chester 92 -more outside as it was kicking off a fair bit.

[tiggeralty]

When we played Port Vale in the FA CUP,  their supporters on the whole were very unpleasant!

When Kenny came up to me and said "hello darling"

[ChrisVessey CUFC]

When your fifth goal rolled in this season and i realised there was still 89 minutes to go 

[ManagementGuru]

At wycombe in the trophy semi final in 81-2.  As I lived in London, I was in the home end. 

At boston in the trophy semi final in 84-5.  Unpleasant.

At birmingham - all Alty fans were made to go to the away car park, which wasn't much use if you'd come up from london by train.  And the police didn't let us out until all the coaches were gone - at which point there were just the two of us in a caged off car park "surrounded" by birmingham fans.

[York Alty]

Corby Town feckin' donkeys years ago.  FA Trophy replay away mid week I'm sure.  Not sure how old I was but I rememebr the atmosphere being very very nasty.

Full of drunk Scots from the steel works .

Never feared too much, the streetwise bit kicks in when things are iffy and you keep yourself to yourself, but recall a few from years back.

Tottenham first time round on the walk back to the train, Frickley away once, FA Cup I think, miner tw&ts, Telford away FA cup, 86? "interesting walk to the station, and very silent one stop ride from Wellington to Telford proper,Some bits of Scarborough in the 77 Trophy semi epic,Runcorn away Trophy semi after mayhem on Stamford Park at the home leg. Also agree Port Vale and Hereford home unsegregated first time we played a conference fixture.Wycombe away Trophy semi too.

Nearly all these are 70's 80's, glad to say reasonably frequent then for bigger games but rarer now.

There was often minor trouble in those days esp Macc over Christmas, Vics once or twice and Southport. Some away trips too, like Kettering and Worcester once.

I'm sure the Gazelle has things to add here?

I remember john king telling me and my mate to come on the pitch once i was sxxx scared!!!, think it was a roudy lot of halifax fans in fancy dress but they were well rough and took are end over,can anyone else remember this becuese my memory is worse than jordans babys eyesite

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

I recall an evening away NPL Cup tie at Mossley in 1979 that wasn't particularly pleasant....

[USAROBIN]

Frickley Athletic during the miners strike.

Don Page got lots of racial abuse and we got a brick through the coach window !

I got a dig from Robin Hood and I seem to remember one lad who was set upon by three arabian princes, thats what kicked it all off. They were a bunch of complete prunes. Psychotic prunes!

Barrow away in the trophy, around 95. We won the replay at home 4-0. But being caged in at Holker street was not that nice, it was definately for our protection, things started getting moody when the coach got a police escort from the turn-off on the M6. Very "ID"!

[Teasy Weasy]

It's hard to put this on here but.....I have never told anyone this.......but I was subjected to a vile assault at the Golf Road end.......in fact it happended more than once.....when Gary Stewart tickled my chin.


BELT UP!!!!!!!!!!

[blackpoolalty]

Bishop Auckland at Moss Lane Mid 90's - 1996? some history between George Shepherd and one of their players who previously broke his leg, bad tempered game, red card for their ugly centre forward and play was halted because their pissed up army of 50 alleged supportes ran riot at the Chequers end, remember police horses being brought in ! And seem to recall their coach 'waiting' for Shepherd after the game so their players could tw$t him !
not very nice day and we lost :-(

[Hemel Dave]

Never been threatened with violence so my memory has to be when I was a little boy in the early 70's in the days little boys were allowed to sit on the fence behind the goal.  A night match against someone crap (Great Harwood maybe) and we got a penalty at the Golf Road.  We had a centre forward called (I think) Joe McLauglin who took it.  To say he blasted it would be an understatement (or at least it seemed that way to a 10 year old boy) and although the net was in the way, all I saw was this ball arrowing towards me.  My natural reaction was to duck and I toppled backwards off the fence and onto the terrace, nearly taking my mate Paul with me.  The reaction of those behind me was a mixture of concern and outright mirth.  I was unhurt but hugely embassassed.
