It was 3-3. Cov were winning 3-1 with 10 or 15 to go. Rod Wallace got a hatrick for Leeds.

Bryan Robson on Speedo was a shocker. Birmingham fans brandishing blades before charging over the blue barrier between the fans in the old Sky Blue stand which led to Bobby Gould and I think Ron Saunders the Brum manager at the time addressing the fans on the pitch to try to restore order. So many others to mention but any game where Kevin Drinkell played as well.

At the Crisp Bowl last season when about half a dozen stewards chased a bloke half way up the stand, cornered him, then beat the living daylights out of him just a few rows down in front of us. We weren't allowed to leave afterwards and were penned in by police outside the ground who did nothing to stop their fans chucking things at us from outside.
Reminds me actually-Clingan's penalty in that game was one of the most pathetic I've ever seen. His miss against Swansea on my birthday in 2009 was even worse.

Was at that game Wilfred Zaha think he came on as sub and tore us apart
I was 7, scarred me! I still remember the groan that went round OT when the bucket of water got poured on the grass to wash the blood away, grim.

I remember that too!! I meant between Pompey and Cov. There's no real history of trouble or politics between them!!

Talking about penalties... Elliott Wards attempt at a Ronaldo!! Scored about 10 on the bounce by smashing it into the net then practically passes it to the Keeper. Can't remember who it was against!

Quite a main Pompey lad was stabbed by a Cov lad up in Whitely Bay a few years before and helped make this the game of choice for Pompeys lads that season as we hadn't played them since (I believe).

Think it was Southampton (in the far off days when we were in the same division as them!)

Oh and not long after the trouble Neil Simpson was due to fight Tony Oakey down in Portsmouth and the police stopped any great numbers travelling down from Cov (think he was given only 50 tickets) to stop any chance of round 2 (pardon the pun) happening.
Some dirty Pompey bastard then spat in Simpson's face as he made his way to the ring.

The story behind the Pompey trouble went along these lines...
A (fair?) few years before, one of the 657 Pompey Crew (the time of first train to Southampton) got badly beaten up in Blackpool (of all places) by some Cov fans. Pompey's firm waited until they played us again (big gap between 1988 and 2002) and brought as many nutters as they could to HR.
Think they smashed up the Wetherspoons in the centre and bus on way to ground too.

False. It was Whitley Bay.
The year isn't right either. I am fairly sure the incident took place in the 90s.
The Portsmouth 657 book denies that anything that may have happened had anything to do with their day out in Cov in 2001.

'The Portsmouth 657'-how cringeworthy does this stuff get.

Huddersfield and Ibiza XI fans were fine, QPR fans were right knobs, one of them almost broke my leg in the supporters tournament.
The worse thing about the Pompey incident is that a lot of City fans got caught up in it were not troublemakers by nature and were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. What are you meant to do when you are attacked? I still have a scar to this day - and I am grateful I got injured because had I not I may have been once of those that went to prison (and I don't think I could have handled that). The travesty was, all of the pompey fans had their charges dropped or were found not guilty, yet the CPS prosecuted city fans many of whom went to prison as first time offenders. Still grates to this day.
I remember an incident sometime around the mid to late 80s. Was sat in the Sky Blue Terrace and late in the game there was a big crash from behind. Some old fella has come crashing down the steps of the Sky Blue Stand as he was leaving and was in a heap on the top of the stairwell. Blood everywhere. Horrible sight. In the paper on the Monday we found out he had died.
Another city fan died at the FA Cup 1/4 at Bramall Lane I seem to recall.

Yeah, I remember that. And trouble after the Tottenham game when Cyrille equalised in the last minute.

Not as cringeworthy as some of the posts by our supporters on this thread.

Nothing sums up the idiocy of some football fans than this story.

Pompey and Cov go way back to a trip at Whitby Bay....and since then its always been in the minds of us older lads.

For us oldies out there, the match were George Curtis broke his leg. I swear the crack was heard all round Highfield Road.
The day we appointed Monkey Heeeed as Manager (not at game but truly shocking never the less)

I think Big George broke his leg at Nottingham Forest.
I can remember the great Roy Barry breaking his leg at HR a few years later - against Sheffield Wednesday iirc - anyway I was in the Spion Kop with my Dad and we could all hear the crack.
