Yes he never worked again. I knew him when he was single with no kids and was drinking with him when he first met his wife Julie. Go back a long way, from Bathgate originally but I haven't seen him now in years.

I have followed City and Darlo (im a Manc 2 club wanker)for more years than I can remember.City as born in St Marys and Darlo too long a story for now.

Darlos not a place to mess around in if they bring everyone out.

Hereford is similar, you would imagine.

I went to see him in Salford Royal after the attack. I was working on a ship in Salford docks so popped in. He was so bad he couldn't speak properly at the time. We used to go to Maine Road and I saw him at the last ever game there. Sound lad.

Came across them on more than one occasion and yes they were a tidy set, the semi I think you refer to was at theirs on a Sunday, pretty sure it was something like an 11.30 kick off, plenty of mither after the game, also seen them turn up at Stockport in good numbers a few seasons before, think they had already won promotion, big battle on the Armoury roundabout. I remember one of them was carrying a lifesize sheep, par for the course I suppose.

My first experience of Chesterfield was back in the 70's when City played them away in the cup, must've been League cup as it was a night game, don't recall any major trouble, City swamped the ground, I was in the wooden main stand, strange old stand that was.

Yes, Saltergate was a right old school ground seen loads of trouble there throughout the eighties, early nineties..
 
Not City related as I have never really had a bad experience following us.

But I had an experience at Oldham(gotham).
Oldham v Chelsea. Hundreds of Chelsea fans infiltrated the Chaddy end. It was carnage. As the Oldham fans plus me and my mate scattered, one big gotham lad shouted,"turn and face". Well that was not happening, we were out of there and safely in a pub soon after half time.
No giant killing on the terrace that day.
 
Was mither at Saltergate last time we played there..Jibbed over someone’s back garden and over the wall to get in alongside our kid as well as a load of other blues.Went off in their end and a few went in their social club looking for mither afterwards from what I can recall.
The modern games sanitised now from what it was.Guess times move on.

That's right mate, we were drinking in Brampton before the game and went in the home kop, loads of City fans went in and got sussed pretty quickly. Several scraps ensued and City fans went on the pitch to get escorted into the away end. Remember the local ( Chesterfield) fans singing utd songs to the City fans through the fence, City fans responded with some aeroplane gestures. Full of scum fans round here, infact teeming with them.

Quite a few Blues in Chesterfield too who I’ve met over the years
 
West Ham circa 1970-71. Plenty of Blues in the home end and plenty of scraps. The scariest thing though was seeing three West Ham fans near me with surgical scalpels. I didn't hang around to witness the outcome and slid off well to the side.

Was that the game where all other matches in and around the North West were called off due to snow?

I was in the Chaddy Road end and there were City United and Leeds fans in there all fighting each other whilst the Oldham fans were trying to watch the game

was a strange experience that day
 
Serbia was pretty bad. Bussed in, separated inside by fences and riot police, held afterwards for two hours and everywhere closed down when we got back in to Belgrade. It was at Red Star’s ground.

It was a shame because it was otherwise fine. The hotel staff and waiters / waitresses couldn’t do enough for us whilst we were there.

Not sure, but they had plastic, so it could have been.
Played a few times on it for Dale, combined with the wind and cold the plastic pitch and slope made it a horrible place to play.
Used to go there quite a bit, as it was near home, Oldham had some big games and their fans often got battered.
