PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

We were in the paddock along the side with the big concrete crush barriers and the home fans above us. I was stood on a crush barrier at the final whistle giving it to the Geordies and one of them threw a mars bar at me which I caught and ate.

I wish they'd thrown a Mars Bar at my car, but after being forced to drive home with no windscreen, I suspect that it was something a bit stronger.
 
To be fair, they're from Newton Heath. How much more Mancunian do you want?

I'm a Newton 'Eaffer. My grandad always claimed that when the rags were there, it was still an independent town from Manchester, with it's own town hall etc, so technically they wasn't 'from Manchester' still ... That'll do for me. :-)

They say the same about us and Gorton

What's a Newton Eaffer :-).
I'm from Newton Heath. Lived there for 42 years and escaped 4 years ago. Lived on Fenstock Walk, which is up near Asheton Rd, Edenbridge Rd, which is near Ten Acres Lane and Hethorn St.
United played at Bank St for years and Clayton was in Manchester at that point. Stretford is one of the oldest parts of the Parish of Manchester. Plus the ground they playing in on North Rd in Newton Heath was owned by the Church and Manchester Cathedral.
I know it's banter saying the Rags are no proper Mancs, Its a bit of a nonsense really.

I lived on Edenbridge for 6 months in around 2010. Quite liked the place.
 
Yes. I was living near Edinburgh and had a very treacherous drive back in freezing rain. In those days it was a rare win at St James Park.
The League Cup win was 1994. The previous win at Sid James Park was 1977 in the FA Cup although we didn’t play them that often due to us both yo-yo-ing between the top flight and second tier. Our next win after that was 1-0 in the Premier League in 2001.

We’ve had a much better record up there more recently.
 
I think I went to that game, if it’s the game where Gaudino made his debut ?
I was there as well, and yes Gaudino made his debut. We were in a paddock at the side of the pitch and there probably was only a few hundred there.

I remember the 77 fa Cup game, we were penned in the corner at the leazers end, was terrifying, geordies spilled onto the pitch trying to get at us, they weren't happy cos Gordon Lee wes about to leave them for Everton, game was delayed for a while, kept in afterwards for our own safety and escorted back to coaches.
I miss those days, we won the game think it was 2-0.
 
Am sure the FA Cup game in 1977 was a 3-1 win.Our Eccles coach came back without a window from Tyne bridge - probably a brick smashed it.

I went to the game on the Man United Godfrey Abbott coach chartered by City fans …..it was 1.3 to City.

I seem to remember the coach being painted up in United colours (or at least having some United decal) so it had to park miles away from the ground.

I remember going to the toilet at a pub outside the ground and seeing at 6ft3 Geordie with a Viking helmet on and definitely remember their fans invading the pitch.
