SwissBlade The Cardiff trouble I remember was after the crazy game that was 0-0 at halftime and 5-3 at the end with a Nuddy hat trick and a Lester worldy.

I used to park near the old MFI and as I got back to my car it was properly kicking off in MFI car park, a good 50 or so laying into each other. Will never forget the look on the face of a young couple walking out of the shop, probably after just buying their new kitchen suite, to see a bunch of grown men kicking seven shades of shit out of each other. They quickly went back in!

I'm sure that carpark was a venue of choice for football scrapping. I once saw West Ham's bad lads in there, and they were something else. Not Burberry clad scrotes, but grown men who were huge, butt-ugly, battle-scarred, and incredibly menacing. They looked like the hard-cases from Pentonville had all absconded at once.

I guess it ticked all the boxes.

Near the ground/pubs.
Almost enclosed/hidden away from any main thoroughfare.
MFI so not likely to be bothered by shoppers coming in or out or cars in the car park.
 
Evening match at Brentford in 1979. We won 2-1, but the aftermath of the match was tragic with an old man killed by a brick thrown into exiting fans. The Blades supporters' coaches were stopped on the M1 and returned to London where all the fans were questioned. As I recall, the old man was from Brentford and the idiot who threw the brick was a Brentford supporter.
Was at that game as an up and coming nawty boy , the old lad died of a heart attack , we were on there end till half time , then walked across the pitch by the Met , i pretended to score in the open goal , didnt get back to Sheffield , or manor top till 6.30 then into Norfolk Park Comp .knackered that day .
 
Game I'm on about is the Leeds one
Yup Leeds at home in south stand , a group was boxed into top right hand corner , after a skirmish on south stand , were they ran up into top corner , after a brief get to gether .
Almost got nicked myself for trying to climb up john street fence into them from corner bit , now seated .
Got talking to a couple of there lads at bus stop that used to be there outside train station, they asked were all our lot was , i told em to fuckoff , were where you lot from 11 this morning as we had hundreds waiting for you .
This was the season we ran them in Leeds city centre .
 
You're gunna get your fuckin head kicked in. :D

It was very intimidating for away fans in those days, the club, police and FA collectively have done a great job in protecting the away fans since then. ;) :)
Belive it or not me and a group of about 7 others used to sit in the south stand , a year or two before everyone came over from the john st stand / terrace , we used to drop down into lane end from the ramp you walk down to get in and out of south stand , we werent hardcore then , but we were known to get stuck in once in a while .;)
We used to take a mini van to away games , it got smashed up pretty badly at Stockport in a fa cup game .

In (I think) 1981 we had Liverpool at home in the League Cup on a Tuesday night (we won 1-0) Me and the lads (about 15 of us) had been in The Minerva (is that the one that became Yorkshire Grey?) since 11.00. By 6 and well 'refreshed', we made our way to BDTBL. At the St. Mary's underpass, about 100 scousers ran into us and a strategic withdrawal was called for. It carried on through the side-streets, we'd slowly back away and, once we'd turned a corner, a big shout went up from them. We arranged to make our way to the MFI (now Aldi) car park. We rounded the last corner and smashed up a load of wooden pallets. The scousers appeared rounhd the corner and - screeech! They pulled up like something out of Tom & Jerry. The lads (not me, naturally) were strung across the roads, each armed with wooden staves. They turned and ran...
 
Wasn't there a massive scrap on London Road against Birmingham in 1997?
Yes , and although i wasnt at the game , couldnt travel over at the time ( ahem )
they also tried it on at the blue bell , were they attacked the front doors not realising the back way out , and got ran all through town , down to the lane , they fired a couple of flares at the chasing Blades .

Me and the Msz had front row seats to that. Came out of Hill Street just as it kicked off.

Fairly sure Brum left early en masse, as they attacked The Pheasant with only a few people in it. They'd picked up anything throwable on the way, and bombarded the pub with bricks, bottles, etc (and a bus full of Saturday shoppers unfortunately got stuck in the traffic bang outside). The few blades inside threw pretty much everything in the pub back at them. There were tables, chairs, pint glasses, ashtrays, the lot coming back.

Birmingham (I think probably hearing the crowd coming) turned and ran. Not sure if they were lost but they turned and ran up the road we were on. Stood aside and pushed the Msz behind me against a wall and half expected a kicking, but thank fuck they ran straight past us.

Plod (conveniently arriving seconds after it had all gone off) then rounded up all the nearby blades (including us), forced us into the smashed up Pheasant and wouldn't let anyone out. Thankfully they were still serving beer!

There was a lad in there with quite a serious head injury. Apparently he'd been sat in the window when a piece of scaffolding came through it.
 
Portsmouth away 1998 - the linesman incident. Was working away in Portsmouth at the time and was at the game, didn't think we were going to get out alive !
Was at the game too - quite lively on the home stand to our left from what I remember.
We were mentioned on News at Ten and MOTD and the main talking point on BBC 5 Live. :)
 
And Bully's special prize...... your very own football hooligan:)
I remember the Blades fans launching a volley of pool/snooker balls at arsenal fans in our replay in the League cup at highbury when we were in the old 4th division, we won the first leg at BDTBL 1:0.

They marched the injured arsenal fans round to the St Johns and passed the Blades fans on the clock end that night.

After the game we hitched a lift out side the ground in a van full of Blades, it was very late because the game went into extra time. It was mayhem outside highbury, Blades fans attacking the arsenal lads. Police on horse back hitting anyone within range.

Anyway the van we was in stopped to attack a group of arsenal fans who were bricking the Blades fans coach in front of us, baseball bats out from under the seats. Coppers pulled us over up the road and we got kicked out of the van, tube to kings cross, then 1 am train to Luton, then train to Sheffield. I missed quite a bit out, lets say it was quite a night.

I left Norfolk in 78, went by the name of Robbo.
 
The game v Arsenal which never was (the Brucie Brucie tek em off game - the game i mean not his dolly birds bra).

Well one of the lads had been nicked early doors for being a bit nawty and was chucked into the blackstock road nick whilst we went to the game which was there to be won as it was anybodys game before they panicked and cheated with 10 to go. Afterwards about 5 of us wondered down the road and to the nick to be told laddo was being detained for the time being but would be let out in the next couple of hours. Being the nice lads that we are we decided to wait for the spanner and wondered into the Gunners Arms where it was steady and whilst we got a few stares we ignored it and got on with drinking a few bevvies and waiting.

There wasnt any bother as the boozer got fuller and fuller and all seemed ok until Wenger popped up on the tele to tell everyone that they wanted to replay the game. The mood in the alehouse changed instantly, especially as one of the lads started shouting 'fkin get in...gu on blades...cheating arsenal twats...'. Needless to say in about 60 seconds it was all looking decidely dodgy and about to come on top a little with what seemed like a hundred arsenal faces all wanting to rip us apart. There was no way out of the alehouse so we put the old Davy Crockett Alamo hats on, stood back to back with our little group, picked up owt worth having in a brawl and told the Arsenal nawties to 'cmon then you fkin wankers', with arms out. It was a case of ok youve cornered us now but some of you fukas are gunna get it first.

Unbelievably the onslaught didnt come and the cockney boys just looked at us as if they thought we were fkin on something (some of us probably were). I remember a big black fella walking up to my mate Jimmy and shaking his hand and saying 'fak me Sheffield your fakin game as fak'...before telling us 'fair dos to ya lads, ya can have a few beers on us' which they proceeded to buy for us. Drinking their ale was a bit uncomfortable as you could see some of em were just itching to start the ruck but it seemed obvious after a while that some of the lads we were with were some of their main lads/faces and seemed to respect our 'fuk it...were all in it together now lads attitude, and probably our bollox for going in there and fronting it out.

Was a bit of a close squeak that one as quite easily one of the lads could have been coming out of the nick to find us all in the local infirmary with pool cues lodged up our a sheffield arses. We laughed about it later but i wouldnt recommend that one. Still they did 'fakin respect Sheffield' afterwards and some cockneys would have been in the next beds to us.
