1990 Ashton gate
Police vans parked against the gates to stop the Cardiff City fans getting out after the game so the turnstiles & walls were demolished instead....

My first ever away game aged 11. Cacked myself as I was looking through the fence at the front of the stand as Cardiff fans burst towards the Bristol fans.

A nice 2 mile walk to the car as Bristol fans were blocking the way to our car behind police.

Lots of change all over the floor though

I was 20 years old and travelled on a special with hundreds of older blokes. There was fighting all the way to Ashton Gate, fighting behind the stand during the game and fighting all the way back to the station.
I was at the front when the wall collapsed. I remember seeing Bristol outside. Everyone just charged. Some guy hit a police horse with one of his crutches!! It was all terrifying. :lol:
Bristol city away has been easy since.
