WHERES THE MOST HOSTILE GROUND...

Most hostile ground......Birmingham 94???

Most hostile situation........meeting hundreds of Birmingham at Sheffield on the way back from Darlington on the train in the 90's. Terrifying. I thought I would die.

Good shout!!

Without a doubt Birmingham away 83/84. Stabbings, a Cardiff fan getting a Machete ran down his neck and Back. Around 4/500 of us being pursued all the way back to the Station by thousands of Zulus, with a Police escort between us and a Massacre. Then to top it off when we eventually got to Birmingham New Street a special pulled up full of West Ham's Inter City Firm.
I could wright a book on that mad mad Day . And i vowed to myself then i would never go back.......And i haven't But saying that i am thinking of going this season and putting my demons to rest.

MAD...

the millwall game in 96 at new den was a night game.i remember the o.b cleared the streets for when the coaches left.still managed to miss a lone brick thrower but he wasn,t the best shot thankfully.im sure brum /cardiff is a sunday game this year nukes.i just go to the game and go home but from what i get told and see i don,t think birmingham are anything like we used to be.big show of zulus in brugge but i went to blackpool in november and remember looking round and noting the lack of old zulu.think they pick the odd game here and there to travel to

1978 away at Westham Utd with Cardiff. The worst I have ever experienced. The whole story of the day is in my latest book "MY STORY ". One I will never ever forget.

West ham or mill wall when both times we got cornered and battered. Got "my story" off my mother in law for Christmas (can you sign it fo me please Annis) have not got to that part yet, will bring back memories I'm sure!

upton park, old den ,the lane, goodison, anfield , st andrews, elland road, north bank of the vetch(twice lol)stamford bridge, highbury clock end (twice lol). All nasty places, great days, a few bad beatings and a couple very close encounters with Stanley
Most Hostile at Ninian was Chelsea without a doubt, Biggest maddest mob i ever seen , we got battered from ninian park pub to train station. tudor road was like a tsunami rolling down the road with chelsea tooled up with bars planks and housebricks. remember a few of them were already wearing bandages on heads from earlier skirmishes. They were chanting "WAR, WAR, WAR".We made last stand by Doc grahams, tattoo shop, with only about 50 left mostly old B troop we got smashed. one of the brothers got stabbed in head. We were on are toes after that. Me and H are sure it was a London utd that day. We were destroyed.B troop fell apart shortly after this.

HAYES AWAY FA CUP ABOUT 2OO-300 OF US WENT BY COACH ,DRANK IN WHAT WAS ALLWAYS THE PUB FOR AWAY FANS CANT REMEMBER THE NAME, IT WAS FULL OF CHELSEA , QPR AND OTHERS.WENT INTO THE GROUND IT WAS PACKED ON ALL 3 SIDES WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE A LONDON UNITED OUT TO BASH THE WELSH.AFTER KICKOFF SOME CARDIFF CAME BOUNCING INTO THE STAND TO OUR LEFT KICKING OFF WELL OUTNUMBERED(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) FUNNY AS f**k THAT WAS . AFTER THE GAME CAME TO SEE THE FUCKERS ALL OVER THE PLACE JUST ABOUT GOT BACK TO THE COACH WITHOUT TO MUCH TROUBLE SOME CARDIFF DID GET CORNERED BY THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS PAST THE STEPS TO THE CAR PARK . SCARY NIGHT BUT FUNNY ASWELL

Birmingham 1980's St Andrews. Zulus chucking nails and drawing pins to stop police dogs and horses getting to them. The netting moving constantly during the game, afterwards the stewards and police picking up golf balls, cricket balls with razor blades embedded in them (same with apples and oranges) and snooker balls all trapped in the nets.

Funny story - in woolworths in brum, a gang of zulus chased a small mob of baggies through woolworths. The pic 'n' mix was flying everywhere

St Andrews was a scary trip in the 80's they meant business!

Stirling Albion v Cowdenbeath. Scary as fook. Followed by Salisbury City v Arlesley Town in 1st round of fa cup this year-petrifying...

Got attacked with golf clubs at Cowdenbeath around 15 years ago!!!

By how many? Was it fore??

You shouldn't have had to putt up with that. You must have been a little green and just a bit tee'd off....

Did you come away feeling a bit below par??

Actually yesterday a Watford fan waved at me while sitting in his seat at half time after finishing his sandwiches and Bovril

I was ok afterwards though

Chief are you sure you are alright ? I bet you had to go back to the Pub afterwards just to calm down

birmingham away 1983/4 season the most vicious time ever attending a football match
also arsenal away in the cup in the 80's too was an eye opener to say the least !
barnsley away 1983/4 season too sticks out in my memory as full on dodgy moments

Just read about this in your autobiography. Rivveting stuff! Can't put it down Its as good if not better than all your other books.

The London grounds in the 70s. Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham, and above all, Millwall were dangerous places. Used to go by train, and the underground was dodgy all the way. Never knew who was around the next corner. Never enjoyed those trips, too scary. There were actual killings from time to time. Glad that things have moved on.

Anfield for the Wales v Scotland game the Kop was absolutely mad that night and it's the biggest battering i've ever had it really was like Rorkes drift in there

Milwalls Cold Blow Lane was a very scarey place but i did it 3 times but the one game was on a Sunday when we won 4-1 i think and there was a double fence topped with barb wire with a line of Coppers between us and Millwalls finest who we were winding up by chanting we want 5 one of their specimens came right up to the fence making cut throat gestures then reached into his crombie and showed us the handle and blade of what looked like a machette suffice to say we moved from that fence a bit sharpish Also been stoned on another visit and bricked at the Elephant and Castle very hostile place.

Also went to Loftus Road back when they had an artificial pitch and for a laugh decided to go in their end got sussed really quickly and had to beat an hasty exit out of there after a few slaps and boots up the arse but i then got chased under the stand and through the concourse and got saved by a Steward who took pity on me and let me through a gate too close for comfort

Honorable mentions to Fratton Park, Eastville and Ashton Gate

I was there that night, after the game it was mental and we were grateful to the police for saving us from a massacre.

It was my mate Stephen Kadget who had the machete down the back of his head, actually it was a meat hook, he still has the scars.

ok! without playing the victim card, can anyone remember getting smashed by opposition for previous at the ninian???
payback and all that, given citys rep early 80s/90s??? anyone??

Millwall did the Ninian Pub in the Auto windscreen cup.

my personal experience was the san siro match with wales.. crazy that day.... havnt really had a bad experience with the city.. sunderland away when they let us out at the same time.... spurs away, but didnt get to much ..

Spurs away the first time in the night, was quite rough, went off for ages after the game.
