Mayhem with MIBs at the game

In the early 80s Fleetwood then North West Counties league drew Blackpool at home in the FA Cup. The police insisted the game was moved to Bloomfield Rd, causing much resentment in Fleetwood. Fleetwood got regular crowds of 250 at the time but every boy in the town turned out for this one. Rags and dippers buried their animosity for the day and became fans of their home town. Blackpool had a notorious firm at this time and there was mayhem everywhere. The police arranged a special tram service to take the Fleetwood support to the match, but then bizzarley escorted the Fleetwood supporters to the railway station, Fleetwood has had no rail link since 1970. 4 0 to Blackpool but a great day out for all, myself sat with some Blackpool mates and kept my head down. Seems strange now after many league meetings with Blackpool, doubt City will play Salford in the league anytime soon.

Haha, they said that about Macclesfield in 1996!
 
Mate of mine (newcastle fan) was in the salford end last night. Got tickets through salford youth team that his kid plays for, the whole kids team went apparently.

He text me this morning:

"Pathetic in the Salford end last night, just full of United fans singing United songs. Think they got what they deserved!"

I was in 127 don't think we heard a single song from them from there. Guessing it was a mix of kids and bitter reds
They sang their pathetic my old man nursery rhyme.

Nice of them to contribute to our next signing. Thanks lads!
 
MIBS last seen looting a Sports Direct near Little Hulton.

Really glad the scaremongers showed themselves up. Fantastic support for City including thousands of young families.
Thought City fans were brilliant against Salford, lots of older blues and lots of blokes with kids, £10 and £5, was a crackin way to fill the place.
Personally i don't like the posnan but it went round the ground rapid and the kids loved it finishing off with CITY CITY.
watched it back on tv, noticed the bbc blanked out the 'gary neville is a wanker' chant.
 
To be fair, if you live in Salford coming to Manchester would be like a trip to an exotic European city.
Oi! I have to pay my council tax to Salford and have also lived and worked in Manchester and do not recognise any part of it, except the Etihad stadium, as an ‘exotic European city’!!! Salford is not that bad except its Councillors and its council.
