should probably do this by decades I suppose.
But whats the worst trouble you have ever seen at, or around a ground, For me it was at Derby in their next to last season at the Baseball Ground, 96 i think it was
My mate had got us tickets, and somehow we ended up amongst all our Hooligans, they all left with 20 mins to go (we lost 3-1 I think), when we got outside there was a proper fucking riot in progress at the end of the Road, masses of Derby one side, riot Police in the middle, and masses of Stoke the other side, with Pub windows being put through.
I'm not one for trouble, and usually walk the other way, but we ended up just standing around watching for a good 5-10 mins , before the Derby fans managed to force the police and stoke lads closer to us, so we upped and left.
Thankfully I was at St. Andrews in 92 when it kicked off.
I've seen skuffles down the Vic and Brit (I wasn't at the Man City game), but nothing like what happened at the Derby

The old Ninian park.
I am only in my early twenties so not seen no where near the amount that alot of our old boys have but that place went off big time, forgot the year.
Came out and straight into a rumble, dodging bricks and scrapping happening everywhere. Welsh cunts.

St Andrews, a fucking shithole of a place Especially when the bastard was terraced, that away end, a picture of doom and gloom. Remember it kicked off in the seats, late 80's, a shocking display of aggro that gets forgotten due to the 91/92 incident. |

I haven't really seen much trouble, rarely go to Stoke games without my old man and his old man so my football life has been parking in the disabled spot just outside the turnstile, watching the match then being first home.
I suppose the worst I saw was at the Vic, Newcastle United in the cup... Peter Beardsley single handedly beat us 4-0 or there-abouts. My old man ran over a group of Stoke fans charging at a group of Newcastle fans behind us and just carried on driving like it was just part of the match day experience, "welcome to football son, one day it will be you running over fans on the way home from the game with your son terrified in the passenger seat." that was proper football, not this tippy tappy shit you get now.
Also a group of Wolves fans were being escorted into the ground by police and one threw a bottle towards us Stoke fans that hit my grandad on the forehead, knocked his glasses off and gave him a cut. Hated Wolves since.

In the late 70's when I was a nipper, it went off a lot at away matches, usually drunken Stoke idiots starting it. Blackpool in 1978 was utter carnage. On the 6 o'clock news I seem to remember. Mansfield, Oldham, Burnley, and many others.
A different sort of hooligan then turned up and the gang thing started, I have been to about 60/70 away grounds with stoke and the worst was indeed Birmingham, however the Zenith Data Systems Cup Final at Wembley between Chelsea and Middlesbough was another nightmare of a game.

millwall was always a very wild day, about 100 of us walking the old kent road one match, got in about 30 mins late and had a reet old battle on new cross street station after the game with their lot. Pompey home and away, had a few run ins around pompey terraced streets, TJ stayed in my flat down there one weekend, i'd handed out leaflets (before mobiles and internet) of which pub to meet up at the previous home game and most lads from the vic and boothen paddock did make it, him and a couple of other lads got nicked and me and spanishstokey got them out at about 10pm so they'd missed the mini bus home Birmingham most games Cardiff most games wolves most games Sheff utd, some ding dongs around the city center if you got there early Grimsby at the silver cod pub was like a wild west film one match, pool cues and balls being thrown, glasses and then some cod supporter threw a turd across the bar at us going to watch stoke in the late 70's and 80's nearly always had an edge to it, it's what it was back then |

The guy beside me turned to his mate and said "Why don't you take the kids, she said" ;D How civilised was Blackpool on the 30th April this year. It's obvious to me that this current generation are a class above the previous one  |

That was the year that Stoke fans trashed the train they used to put on for Footy fans the "special". Both my brothers were in that train and one of them got jailed for 6 months for admitting throwing an ashtray from the train. Both have told me that day was fucking mental |

Stockport was always interesting too (Edgeley Park) - Oh and don't forget Swansea, although I have never been to the old Swansea ground my mates have been in some real bother there.

Never seen any real trouble, don't get to that many away games, you can be expecting to fork out a minimum of £50 for the ticket and travel, even before beer, and that's the closer ones.
I saw handbags at Bolton away last season, Bolton and Stoke giving the the biggun, pretending there was the grand canyon dividing them when it was a little hill and a stream.
No trouble at Crewe, Burnley, Sunderland, Derby, Coventry (although I was in a minibus and some of the guys were shouting Nigger at some black folk(obviously) and me and my mate were sitting by the window just as they were about to come over, thankfully for us a double decker cut them off), and the other grounds I've been to, well I wasn't expecting the tiniest bit of trouble.
Football is safe now, unless you go looking for trouble.

That famous Birmingham away game in the early 90's was frightening, especially if you got your colours on and waiting for a lift outside the ground like me and my mate were!
My parents had friends that lived in Great Barr near Brum so me and my mate tagged along and they dropped us off outside the ground and arranged to pick us outside after the game. When it all kicked off my first thought was to leave the ground, but they'd locked us in and my mate had vanished. Then i found him stood on top of those police cages than ran the length of the terracing. Realising we were going nowhere, we then started to taunt the Brum fans to our left. Then the call came to leave the ground, which we did and then realised the they'd let the fucking Brum fans out as well. Me and my mate stood next to this copper on horseback while we watched the Stoke coaches over the road being smashed in by the Brum nutters. I do remember the Brum fans chasing us up that street outside the away end as well. It was a proper hairy situation and me and my mate were proper shitting it (we were only 17). Eventually my dad and his mate turn up and we head back over to Great Barr to find my mum and her friend in a major panic cos they had been watching it all unfold on Central TV.

I saw a smidge of mither at a few away days with the lads last season. We got the train with a load of Stoke lads to Wigan, Wolves were en route to Blackburn on the same train. Absolutely no bother at all until we got out at Wigan and the Wolves lads started shouting as we got off, a Stokie picked up a bin from the platform and chucked it at them on the train.
The police came into the pub about an hour later, marched him out and sent him home.
I was also there for that bit of Bolton handbags... not amongst the trouble may I add.

I was standing a bit to the side of it all, nothing at all really apart from 1 guy getting a bit bloody. What wound me up really was some Bolton fan who had his little girl on his shoulders giving it the biggun, if the Stoke fans weren't just chavvy wimps him and his daughter could have been in danger. (Nothing wrong with wimps though, I'm a complete and utter wimp) |
