Birmingham city when we won 1-0 can't remember the year, but it was Sullivan and Golds first home game, we parked near the home end and by the time they let us out it was packed with pissed off home fans, chucking bricks at us all, walking back to the car a gang off them came over to us, my two mates could do the yim yam accent so they said i was a deaf mute.
Lucky enough we paid some scroat a quid to guard the car so ours was one of the ones with the stereo still in it.
 
Went to Molineau to see Wolves play Honved in about 1960. The days of cinder terraces propped up with wooden boards. No crowd barriers. When Wolves scored the whole crowd surged about twenty feet down towards the pitch.
 
I went to see Wolves v Cheltenham Town in the FA Cup 1st Round in 1987 when Wolves were in the old 4th Division and Cheltenham a Southern League team. I was in with the Cheltenham fans. We had a police escort to the ground - with mounted cops - and weren't allowed into any pubs anywhere near the ground. Cheltenham took the lead through a Brett Angell screamer which led to the Cheltenham fans going wild (me included) and insults were swapped back and forth until most of Molineux went silent when Cheltenham sang "least we got jobs, least we got jobs n'all, n'all". When Wolves equalised about half a dozen blokes stood 2 steps down from me started celebrating then began to beat up an equal number of Cheltenham fans - none of whom were over 18 - before getting thrown out. This led to various bottles (filled with assorted "liquids") to get thrown into the Cheltenham end. Wolves ended up winning 5 - 1. When leaving the ground, the police escort was necessary as the neanderthals of Wolves were waiting and again we were greeted with bottles.

(Now in case anyone's wondering why I'm talking about a game not involving BRFC, the fact is someone I worked with had a spare ticket and offered it to me as my grandmother had just been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour and only had about 2 weeks to live).

Oh well, only a century (that's 100 years) to go Millens <laugh>

Scariest away day? Well, it wasn't particularly scary as it came completely out of the blue. I was standing outside of Griffin Park in the very early 80s and this tosser came up and punched me in the face so hard I went straight down. I was 14 and about 5ft 1, you London tosser!

I'll never forget when Cardiff packed out the away end at Eastville and the volleys of coins and rocks being chucked back and forth. Bit stupid of the Taffs though, they were so packed in they couldn't avoid the missiles raining down on them. I've never seen so many people being stretchered / led out with blood pouring from head wounds. Very hairy in the car park afterwards.

One thing that also sticks in the mind - the Shropshire constabulary really don't like having Weetabix chucked at them. Even when they're in full riot gear. :police::bandit::emoticon-0136-giggl
 
I remember going to Plymouth away in 95 I think, I remember coming into plymouth on our mini bus and seeing maybe 150 Plymouth mob going away from the ground then just a bit down the road was two city coaches pulled up and there must of been 250 coming off them and going after the plymouth fans!

We also had some nob gob on our window in traffic the old man got off and walloped him lol! I think there was a lot of trouble in home park before the game and when we came out loads of windows were boarded coaches were smashed up fighting all over the place must of been 400 of the 4000 who went away that day fighting in the park after the game!
 
I'm a lover not a fighter!!
Anyway, I'll never go to Millwall again - and actively hope they get relegated every season
