To be fair, they're from Newton Heath. How much more Mancunian do you want?We dont share our city with “that lot” the wider conurbation maybe

Not there now though are they?To be fair, they're from Newton Heath. How much more Mancunian do you want?
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.
A Yorkie?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.

They say the same about us and GortonI'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. :-)

I'm from Newton Heath and no longer there. Does than mean I'm not a Manc?Not there now though are they?
What's a Newton Eaffer :-).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. :-)
The difference is, we acknowledge our Gorton connection. The rag liars state everywhere that they were formed in 1878 which is just fucking bare faced bullshit. They just can't hack the truth. Formed by a sugar daddy in the 20th century.They say the same about us and Gorton
2-0, Uwe and Walshy, think about 300 of us went that night
I lived on Edenbridge for 6 months in around 2010. Quite liked the place.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.
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.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.
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 think I went to that game, if it’s the game where Gaudino made his debut ?

We’ve had a much better record up there more recently.Remember the
Newton Heath….that takes me back,being born & bred in Clayton we used to fight them lot in the raids on Clayton vale…To be fair, they're from Newton Heath. How much more Mancunian do you want?
I went to the game on the Man United Godfrey Abbott coach chartered by City fans …..it was 1.3 to City.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.
