I haven’t no, but have been talking to someone who was there and witnessed it and confirmed that Raf was floored.

It's a bloke who has missed only one City away game in the last 40 odd years.
So my question to everyone this evening is.... Which fixture and from what season was it?
As a clue, the reason was not personal and it would have also affected a number of other supporters.
GO!

No. This was a Div 1 (Saturday) fixture, early 1990's. (very early '90's)

Newcastle away that was postponed because of waterlogged pitch? When game was rescheduled no away fans were allowed because of new stand(s) at St James' Park

I do like it that a violence thread has turned into a pub quiz. Much more civilised

The fixture in question was away at Everton, 8th December 1990.
The previous evening the heavens opened with shit loads of snow. I remember travelling back from a gig in Stoke, we got onto the M6 about 11pm just as it started. Within minutes is was pelting down, didn't think we would make it back to Cov. So relieved when we did.
It carried on right through the night and there must have been in excess of 9 or 10 inches by day break, and it was still going!
Subsequently all roads and rail tracks from North Staffs down past and beyond Cov were shut down.
Incredibly not a single snow flake had fallen on Merseyside.
Our away contingent that day therefore consisted of those either living or studying in the vicinity or those that had travelled up on Friday.
Raf, if you're reading, hope you're not badly hurt.

That was like one of our bad days on the pitch. No attacking intent, relying to heavily on one player, well beaten with an own goal thrown in

It wasn't. I was living in Solihull at the time and a Man Utd season ticket holder I worked with got stuck on the A45 trying at Sheldon trying to get to Birmingham to get the coach and missed their draw with Leeds.

That wasn't early 90's.

More like mid 00's.

I didn't get there until half time and we were a goal up. They missed a pen in the last minute.

Coming out the ground a full can of beer missed my head by inches, thrown from within a large group of Cardiff fans who were waiting for us to exit.

Actually it was only a couple of weeks prior to Manchester United away in the League Cup, so must have been 2006....?

For future reference to any fan who finds themselves in a potentially threatening situation, the Football League have posted this useful tactic involving a cushion

The one in the grey who hangs around at the back and then sticks the boot in to somebody already down and posing no threat at all, what a cowardly little prick.

Attempted murder, surely?
