    Anyone remember the League Cup at OT late 70s I think. I was in the United Rd that night, about 1500/2000 Newcastle turned up, Newcastle lost 7.2 and at full time when we came out, Newcastle had been battered, I saw a lad from Newcastle crying and holding his stomach talking to a Policeman and others were just getting a kicking, I saw one trying to crawl under a car but he got the shit kicked out of him. And another game I'm sure this was a Saturday I might be wrong, me and my mates were in the K Stand above the Scoreboard end and I'm not joking when I say that about 20 Newcastle turned up. At the end of the game we was looking down at them and one of them offered us 50p for one of our scarves, told him to do one, he was crapping himself.

      @@DannyG-cv8so Yeah at least United turned up at Millwall and let's not forget there were only a few hundred of them, we had 2 football specials cancelled so there would have been more. When United played Millwall at home there were no coaches and just one special, they wouldn't even come out of the station. A lot went home on the same train and some were escorted to a nearby fire station for their own safety. Non turned up at the game. They had all gone home by then. So much for Millwall and West Ham.

      @@manutd7015 Boro came good late 80's but agreed they were very good. E arly 80's Newcastle had some good turnouts at ayesome park but that's another story. As for Man utd where do I start? you 're Mib lot was the only time (early 2000's you had the better of us at home. and I can testify to that first hand- you did us outside of Rosies bar hands up to that. other than that very little. You were infiltrated in the leazes boxing day 86. and chased around town before f.a cup game in 89, done outside black bull before game I could go on and on, in 70's you tried to take the piss but got slaughtered before and after the game, during game Newcastle even came into the gallowgate when it was for away fans. You're top lad and very respected lad Tony O' Neil gives a more honest account than you're delusions of grandeaur. At old Trafford early 2000 we landed in Eccles before game and had a good toe to toe which admittedly Man utd got the upper hand. I can't speak for other occasions as wasn't there but like I say at Newcastle apart from once you got the run a round, especially in the 80's. and that's a fact.

    Rangers took the leezes 😂 No one has ever done that. Over the years I've only ever seen a few fans from leeds and Tottenham in the leezes end 71-72 as soon as they showed their colours they left via the red gravel onto the pitch with the police shielding them taking them to the Gallowgate. My time is from the start of 69-70 season so cant comment on the 60s. Did a Macum give you your information.
    I was at the forrest 1/4 final and was in the first 50 on the pitch behind a huge bloke in a black suit and white shirt who got jailed I got bit by an alsation and me mam went nuts when she clocked me on the news. Best full day of it I've ever seen was at WHU first time after the petrol bomb.
    From 6am untill midnight we were in about 20 running skirmishes from upton park to the cockney pride pub picadilly to kings cross. The MET were up for it that day and they thought we were NF

    Get your fact right. There wasn't 10000 at Leicester and the trouble was from their idiots. Three times during the match their lot invaded the pitch from behind the goal led by an idiot in a pink shirt. The police did nothing. Coins were constantly hoyed at the Newcastle fans resulting with one fan losing an eye. The trouble before and after was nothing to do with the gremlins but their thugs going for anyone from Newcastle. How do I know. I was there as we're lots of my friends. Before the match drinking at the Huntsman as we got there before the doorman.
