It was earlier than that mate there was regular punch ups in the Park End early 70s when blues gathered below and charged in from both sides just before kick off scattering away fans.In the old day's ( aside from derby's) I would often watch matches in the Park End, mixed and chatted with oppo fans, no problem.
All went sour in the late 70's and 80's sadly.
