Just look at the flares on that pitch.

And some of swamp dwellers wearing a jacket and trousers.

Bay city roller wankers.

Happy Anniversary.

What a wonderful day that was. You hardly saw a scarf until the goal went in then the whole end erupted. One of the great days of my life.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in full before, but it was really enjoyable.

I clearly remember watching the events in my grandparents' kitchen as they unfolded at the swamp. I don’t know for sure, but I suspect we’d been watching the wrestling on ITV, and the feelings of deep joy as the reporter, Gerald Sinstatdt, I believe, relayed what was happening.

Thanks for posting, Mat.

it s the one thing city owners have not done yet ? forget winning the champions league sending them down would be the icing on the cake

 

[Impeccable One]

Just look at the flares on that pitch.

They all looked like Charlie Cairoli wannabees !

 

[BLUEinTheUSA]

Sigh, back in the days when we had mud on the pitch.

They won another trophy this season.

To be fair Solskjaer's mantel piece must be jam packed of these by now........... :-/

Been a few days so I thought I would just pop in and remind people that I am not overly keen on this variety of football club.................

Too young to attend that day so how many blues were in the ground that day?

Judging by how many were at York - about 200 000. ;)

Were the City fans behind the goal.
Not much of a reaction to the goal.

Yes we were behind the goal but well spread out.

No segregation in those days.

The good old days!!

Very scary afternoon. Relatively safe in the rag road paddock compared to other areas but dodgy outside before and after. Was worried about two mates in the Stretford end as one spent the bus ride to the swamp telling the rags about all the grounds in the second division.

So was my son. I had just returned from a NI tour and this was my first game back.

The good old days!!

I was at the League Cup when they were in the second division. Sat with my old man in the United Road. I realised what they were like even as a kid.
