Last time I had a smoke at Anfield, the steward asked me is that weed you're smoking? I nodded, expecting to be kicked out. He asked for a puff.

Yeah good one.
Baseball Ground.
Went to a cup tie there. There were so many Reds there it was like a scene from Ben Hurr walking to the ground. United were packed in on one long side of the ground. No room to move and most a bit pi55ed, full of beer. All bursting for a slash.
'Where's the bogs' Constable?, was the cries from the terrace asking the long blue line of the Derby Constabulary defending the touchline.
'In the Main Stand opposite', came the replies.
'How the furrrck do we get into that stand then" (a reasonable question to ask)..
'Buy a ferrrkin ticket, next time!' came the answer.
"Mind yer backs lads". A yellow tsunami of steaming pi55 came cascading down the terrances forming in pools around the copper's boots.
A great day out though. We won 0-1. Big Norman. Well, who else?
Leaving Wembley before Hughes' last-gasp equaliser against Oldham in the 1994 FA Cup semi. It was actually a great day but I missed the goal.

Wow! Right behind that goal. Got mobbed when it went in by fans running back onto the terrace after leaving just beforehand.

At first we thought the roar was the Oldham fans at the final whistle, then realised it was too close to where we'd been. Then United fans started streaming out singing "Hughesy!"
Watching Wolves in the 90s. No more to add really, didn't matter what year, always awful.
Boxing Day 2015.
Stoke City vs United.
Lost 2-0, should have been more.
Sat right on the divide with the absolute scruff stoke fans just next to us giving us grief all game. And rightly so, we were utter shiiite. Freezing cold. Piiising rain. Hungover from xmas. Shiiithole of a stadium barely standing. And Stoke is an absolute sess-pit.
LVG given dogs abuse at full time by most of the travelling support. Memphis barely resembled a coordinated human let alone a footballer. Think it was 8 games in a row we’d failed to win and was the final straw for a lot of fans with LVG. Can always come away from a game and look at the positives despite the result, but that was bleak.
Love Boxing Day footy, absolute tradition in my house. But all in all, a pretty shiiiite day.
The Den - or the Old Den as you'd now refer to it.
Utter sheitehole.
I think one of the lowest points for me, PL era, was watching us get humped 3-0 by Liverpool at home.
Joe Allen ran rings around Fellaini.
It's always hard to judge because we've been so spoilt at OT in the past 30 years and I'm fortunate enough to have seen a lot of it live - but that really brought home how we'd fallen away.
A friend of my cousin was once arrested before a Preston v Bolton game in the mid to late 80s.
There had been trouble between fans (couple of minor stabbings), so police were checking all the away fans for weapons whilst queuing up.
Police officers were patting fans down and there were mounted police there as well.
The guy had his ticket in his hand ready to go in when it was his turn to be checked so he lifted his hands up above his head. Unfortunately the police horse was next to him as as he raised his hands and it snatched his ticket and ate it.
He went mad and punched the horse after officers said there was nothing they could do about it. He was arrested as it is akin to assaulting a police officer and he spent the night in the cells.

Worst matchday for me was the first semi final in '85. We got tickets, but they were for the Gladwys Street seats in amongst the bile and hatred. So, bad enough not celebrating the goals, we were in the middle of it when Paul Walsh equalised with the last kick of the game. Then had to dodge the mayhem walking back past Stanley Park. Fortunately there were loads of coppers around (memorably crouching behind a wall and only appearing when the scousers tried to rush the United coaches). I think that was the zenith of the 80s random violence, thank God that's gone now.
We were in Platt Lane for the replay though

This was the game we got whacked by Scouse Police outside Goodison Park. They charged hundreds of us on horseback so we fled out of the way...but one on them got hold of me and pinned me up against the turnstile entrance. Asked me what I was running from. I said 'I don't know' and he replied 'you're running from us you Manc baztards".. "been waiting for you lot for weeks". Then the usual truncheon in the kidneys routine. Managed to stagger into the ground. Welcome to Liverpool.
TBF we weren't angels. Coach parked up at Stanley Park and a scouse scuffer boarded the coach and said "hey, whatever you do, don't pi55 in the gardens"... So of course, we all got off and pi55ed in the gardens.
Worth it all to watch Robbo's goal in the reply at Maine Road.
Again, Happy days!
