One of the scariest days in my life,I was 14 and after city leading 3 - 0 Chelsea only went and scored 3 times in the last 5 mins if I remember correctly.At the final whistle we couldn't get out of the bob bank and all I could see at the gates which were locked was bottles,sticks and stone flying through the air and hundreds going toe to toe,we heard Chelsea were trying to get in the gates and had run the pitch and were heading to the bob bank exit,I was on the brink of being crushed and decided to climb the wall which lead to the cul de sac of houses my mate was carrying a few pounds and didn't make it.walking through the houses I thought I was safe until what seemed like hundreds of chelsea piling into the street,as I tried to forget about the shit in my pants I dived over the wall of one of the houses and banged on the door,this old guy answered and said I had better come in.I stood there shaking,final score was on and the guy asked if I wanted a cup of tea?,I asked for water which his mrs brought out in a shuffling manner,the street was filling up with chelsea and then came the onslought,the guy started telling me I was a f*cking disgrace to society and my breed should be locked up,he continued to pummel me for about 5 mins as I stood watching final score trying to block him out,he kept shouting and started to get louder and more aggressive even though he was in his 70's,then I snapped and said f**k it,I said thank you and decided I would rather be out there than taking this shit so I bombed outside,luckily a few Cardiff had stormed in and were having it with Chelsea,I ran out of the cul de sac and a guy about 16 was being ragged by a police dog,he was being dragged by his leg so I decided to grab the lad by the armpits and try to drag him from the dog which I managed after what seemed ages but was probably only a few seconds.I never got his name but we headed off to find some medical care for his bites, I am sure there were bottles being thrown from a departing train full of Chelsea.I wonder if that guy is on this forum.
I'm not sure how many Chelsea brought that day but it seemed like 5000.
