Guest Cider_Army Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I was worried that the fact we took such amazing support today would be overshadowed by a few morons. Was anyone aware of any trouble, I couldn;t make it due to work commitments and to be honest I'm glad, only because I couldn't face the trip back after a loss like that.

cheshire_red Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I was held up in a jam not fer from the ground for about 30 minutes due to riot police and a half dozen horses blocking the road (by the blue ball pub). They were blocking entry to the road that ran along the back of the ground where the trams went along back into the city centre. Didn't see what was happening but a large group of wednesday 'kids' were trying not too hard to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BCFC Matt Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 There were a few incidents on leaving the ground on exiting the the stand, that was after the snowball fight. Not sure about any other incidents though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redminster Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Got held up for an hour in Sheffield after the game. Plenty of riot police rushing around not doing very much. Couldn't see what all the fuss was about - although having said that something may well have happened. Weren't those silly little boys to our right funny? £17 is a waste of money when you don't actually watch the game and spend the whole time baying and making obscene gestures at us. What was the official turn out from our lot? 24,000 is still astonishing considering their position. There must not be anything more interesting to do in Sheffield on a Saturday. Or should that be Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I heard somebody in ground say that Leeds fans and a group of blokes from Edinburgh were supposed to be teaming up with Sheffield Wednesdays "BOYS" to have a go at City. How true, I haven't a clue but if it is, then there is some serious growing up needed to be done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cidersam Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 As soon as i left the ground seen a few punches being thrown, there was some small fights but police soon came piling in to break it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cidergeorge Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Did anyone see that ##### ? And you wonder why the cops have a bad reputatuon. Some poor lad walked into her horse, so he patted it and asked her if the horse was alright so she raised her baton and threatened him! Should have heard the stick she got.

Guest Mr Scroobs Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 There were a couple of punch up's after the match on that road leading away from the Lepping Lane End - the police had it sorted though.......before the game there were problems near a home pub with apparently about 50 city supporters rounded up and herded into some kinda pound and kept hold of until the game started and I also heard that several supporters were turned away at the turnstiles for being drunk.......as for the queing at the start of the game there were still city supporters outside the ground at 3.20pm.

PhatWill Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU LOT. I got a bus back to the train station which took 45 minutes. There were hundreds of City running Wednesday down the high street. Pretty much constant fighting, shops closing, police horses charging down the street this all went on for at least half an hour. The bus I was on was full of aggressive locals shouting "southern poofs/fairies" continually for the whole journey. It got pretty nasty from my stance and I was worried for my safety on more than one occassion. Definetly some of the worst trouble I've ever seen at a football match. At one stage a City lad ran at about 20 Wednesday hooligans who all legged it! I can't have been the only eye-witness of this surely?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatWill Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 .....superb, but what had that City lad been drinking? I saw more than a few City supporters fired up by all the aggressive jestures and chants directed at us from the 2 Wednesday upper tiers on either side of our Leppings Lane End. Yeh, bloody nutters! One utter muppet was hiding behind me walking out of the ground shouting "come on Sheffield"...I was like, are you trying to get me f(uckin) killed! How did you find the Lower Lemmings Stand RG? I proudly stood for the whole game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GASBUSTER Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 i didnt see much trouble after the match,as me and my mates came out the ground we wanted to go left pass the players entrance,was refused by police we asked which way to get to the other side of the ground[there home end] which my car was parked by charlie browns . police said to get to other side we needed togo right by the cctv van and that will take us there no chance i said to me mate thats heading into trouble . so we turned left by the traffic lights and followed it straight round no problem. as we crossed over by charlie browns i was on the mobile phone to my girlfriend as we were walking passed the traffic a bus full of wednesday scum was slowly going passed they were shouting abuse at us we were giving it back as well f### off you northen scum we shouted with our middle fingers raised, they came back with GOING DOWN WITH THE SHEFFIELD which we had to laugh at. when all this was going on i accidently cut my girlfriend of on the mobile she thought iwas caught up in trouble hearing me sware .

cider head Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 below was posted on several hooligan forums (NOT MY WORDS) gipsy queen pub 10 miles away from hillsbrough 70 csf turn up at this pub then at 11:30ish 60 owls lads arrive with bats bricks sticks ect, tooled right up , csf pile out the pub doors under a hail of missiles have it toe to toe with them csf get the better of them, then they ran out of the pub car park across the road on into an estate with about 40 csf in pursute. result for the C.S.F. no question. so much so that the police held the csf searched them then escorted them to the motorway and sent them home but that was 70 out of a estimated 300 csf that was in sheffield and nearly every pub had city lads in drinking, the lower teir was mostly city's firm.
