Chopper Harris 0 Posted January 1, 2010 I remember a game a carrow road against Man Utd in the late 70''s. I was standing at the river end. I think we won 2-1. the away fans were in what is now the Barclay end and some of them got onto the top on the stand and started ripping the roof off. I was only young at the time and am not really sure i remember it as clearly as i think. Does anybody else remember the game and can you fill me in on the details?would be great if anybody who was there can help my feeble memory.cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupethebear 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Blimey the Man U fans had 3 sections of the Barclay and invaded the Norwich section before kick off. Frightening, the bloke who fell through the roof got knocked of his strectcher by angry Norwich fans... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was the first time I experienced that level of football violence...........worse than Millwall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,413 Posted January 1, 2010 I was there also - bloody animals - main reason I have such a hatred of them to this day.Ripped the planks off the back of the Barclay, bloke did indeed fall off the roof and was kicked off the stretcher by Norwich fans.My abiding memory of that day is that the police in attendance were covered from head to toe in gob!

Ghost of Davie Ross 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Yes I was there (it was April 77). I remember Tommy Docherty coming on the pitch to try and placate the fans - to no avail. To this day I''m still annoyed that the violence overshadowed a brillant City performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
