There was a few behind me.
One was absolutely leathered ringing one of them little bells (don't know if that was a big city thing)
Kind of sat there thinking wow....he's fucked.
Some old lady in a knee length red coat looked like she should have been in church was pointing em out shouting get em out....
Poor bloke must have cleared 3 or 4 rows of seats before landing in a heap with his mates not far behind him, they were allowed use of the steps from what I remember.
At the end did the police let them out or did they let them selves out?
Not trying glorify it
Saw a city fan trying hide under a taxi by the Audi garage. Saw a fella punched in the face for having a city coat on kind of like no I'm not into this leave it didn't help him any.
Absolutely mental day.
The hooligan types might talk about some fight here and there that was huge unorganised massive disorder the fucking old lady pensioners were up for it!!

It was a similar situation to Newcastle in 95. The mayhem that happened before, during and after both games came about not because of our teams performance, losing or getting relegated but because both sets of fans came to SOT acting like they owned the place. For some reason that seems to have an effect on the reaction of a lot more people than just your bog standard hooligans. BM

A lot of the cctv is still on youtube it formed part of Operation Larrakin. I was working in the upper west stand as a steward at the time and I'm on the footage and all for £25 from JJ Securities.

I could see a couple of videos on YouTube. There’s one that has about 10 mins of footage of the bridge over the railway going down towards the incinerator but it’s difficult to know who’s who and what’s going on but either way it’s hardly a battle.

I think the story got round she was pregnant which turned it very nasty indeed. No idea if she was but people were being lamped left, right and centre. I saw a car tipped on its side. Was that the match where they tried to hide in the police station after the match and some loons started attacking that too?

A Sentinel article did appear that week, complete with a picture of the young woman who’d taken a beating, looking like she got a few bruises.

Don't think Newcastle were aggressive that day. I have never seen stoke fans so intent on getting to the away fans. They were shitting it.

They'd been giving it the big un from early afternoon but I would agree that Stoke were very much the aggressors. It was like the whole of Stoke-on-Trent was crop dusted with angry spray. They were a hell of a team, took the piss on the pitch which didn't help the atmosphere.

My only memory of Tweed (other than him being none to clever) was him clearly a handling a goal bound shot against Vale and the ref missing it. Was a rare good day that season as we won 2-1 with Keen grabbing a nice winner. In fact it capped a good weekend as England had drawn in Rome the night before to qualify for the World Cup. And there’s no footage to be found of that game despite it being the first Derby at the Brit and live on sky

A toss us between this game and the Cardiff game for the most hate filled and toxic atmosphere at The Brit in and out of the stadium.
A day to forget.....

SHIT BIN why would any Stoke fan want to watch this? It was a pivotal day/game in the clubs history one which every Stoke fan there will still remember to this day. A day Stoke fans will still want to discuss the game and events far more than numerous mid table non event games of the Premier League days.

This was mine and my bro's first game without an adult with us, at 16 and 14. I'm not ashamed to admit I was pretty scared. We were sat next to an old couple and to their left was a fat drunken prick who spent the whole game climbing across all of us to try and get involved in the bother. Neither of us went to the Brit for a couple of seasons after that. I just remember seeing loads of youths launching bricks into the away end coach Park and thinking I didn't really want to be associated with these wankers.

Remember the match as if it was yesterday, as posted Man City fans got some serious beatings in the home ends, recall my mates brother stewarding on the day, he was actually pointing the Man City fans out to his Stoke mates who then, well as above.

I was slow leaving the Stadium after this game and walked across the A500 bridge towards Michelin car park and could hear a loud Scouse accent behind us talking on the phone, i turned around and it was Jan Molby, ex Liverpool player talking to someone on the dog...got home and found out he was part of commentary team..remember the weather was red hot that day..
