    Ever had a leathering following city ?

    I have always managed to avoid getting my arse kicked but have come pretty close

    The old fourth and third divisions were the worst ...... Cardiff were coming to town and even the smallest of clubs would have their fair share of nutters

    Exeter , don't mention that place, Hereford , Lincoln , the list goes on

    I nearly had my head kicked in at Rochdale , Peterborough , Chester

    At home the nearest was Stockport , we were walking minding our own business when a load of them attacked us outside tescos by the canton cross

    Later on their coach was found by our booth it's and got wrecked

    Plymouth away was quite scary once or twice

    The games against the bigger sides , such as spurs away I felt safe because we had so many nutters , it was like they had emptied Cardiff prison for the day

    Way back in 1971, I thinkIt was skinhead era, but I was sporting long hair.
    Evening game vs the wurzels .
    I lived in Risca at the time; easiest way back was train to Newport, then bus home.
    Went to Newport in a train full of carrot-crunchers! but no problems.
    Walking from Newport train station to bus station, I got jumped by 3 skinheads, while their girlfriends looked on, fought them off a bit but t hey got some kicks in.
    Not really sure if it was because of my hair or my city scarf (which they didn't get!)

    Forgot Scarborough away in the early nineties

    Was living in Bradford at the time so changed at Leeds station and caught the train to the game

    I was on an early service so thought I wouldn't have any hassle and it was only little Scarborough !

    Got off the train , it was only 12 o clock so thought I would grab a nice quiet pub lunch at the nearest pub to the station

    Walked in wearing my city shirt and quickly ran out back to the station .......followed by ten what I thought were Scarborough fans but was later told were Leeds who were there to help out their little Yorkshire cousins

    He was always the first to run, that's why he was an outcast. Most times he was the only one on his toes.

    December 1990 away to Burnley stands out. Previous week had lost to poxy Hayes at Griffin Park in an FA Cup surrender and had problems filling the ex-butcher's van. He was grudgingly allowed after swearing an oath (he was a former boy scout) to not leg it into the nearest laundrette (or wherever) at the first hint of aggro.

    He belched, farted, yawned, scratched and picked his nose for every mile of the long trip. More annoying was the running commentary he gave on passing female drivers. What he described doing to them would have made Hugh Hefner blush.

    On arrival at the grim northern dump he was full of bravado, inflamed as he was by the three cans of Carling he had necked en route.

    While we were acting incognito when heading for one of their hoolie pubs, he would shout "let's fecking 'ave it" and the like at startled and bemused shoppers. He also kept exclaiming: "fookin 'ell, they must have had a brilliant summer up here, mun." I asked him what he was on about. "Well, look at the tans on 'em, it must have been a scorcher 'cos they're still burnt to a crisp," he replied with wonderment. Someone else set him straight: "You cull dunt, they're all fecking P***'s, that's why!"

    True to form, he was absent at the furore that erupted inside the boozer. A shoelace that had to be tied 20 yards from its entrance was the lame excuse offered.

    I was in the middle of a train of York fans once after going over to Rochdale to watch their game when we were both challenging for promotion in the early nineties , got talking to a few of em who were ok but some of the others found out I was a Cardiff fan and wanted to kick my head in , luckily two transport police came into our carriage and yet again my life was saved

    I remember them, think the lad was called Dave? I met them at an away game in Doncaster I think. I lived in Nottingham at the time, think there were only about 6 of us in the northern branch of Cardiff city supporters club at the time!

    I had Wolves 'calling cards' left on me.

    Got a letter off Frankie Burrows and some City memorabilia including a photocopied first team autograph sheet and some city sweat bands sent to the hospital!. Also my brother got me the fiesta special from the magazine shop which had Mel from Mel and Kim in all her glory in it.

    Still wasn't worth it though as I sucked tomato soup through a straw for 6 weeks.

    That Wolves front 3 though!

    You also had liquidised curry takeaway through a straw, was the most disgusting thing seeing the bits that were stuck in the metal brace holding your jaw together! Now if I'd only been there I would have had them

    Got floored after a game in Derby in around 1972. Iam McFaul in goal for Derby.
    Left the Baseball ground and like an earlier poster a skinhead walking ahead of me turned on his heels walked back 50 yards and decided to floor me unannounced. Ignored my mate who was alongside me.
    We beat Preston at home 5-2 a few days earlier so I don't think it was a City game. But I was in Uk to watch City.
    It hurt lots. Does it count?

    Never seen any real problems PERSONALLY going away since. I am Always!

    One of my mates got his arse slashed at Shrewsbury. It was after the Wrexham promotion game in 93 and they only stopped for a drink on the way home. He said they came out of nowhere with scaffolding poles and smashed their minibus up as well.
