PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

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.

my Gran lived at the top on the Newton heath side and when were little we used to watch from the bedroom window. Once my uncle and his mates had scarpered from police who'd turned up, as they crawled through the hedge in the back garden they were confronted by my Gran who just taken down the washing and was holding a long massive piece of wood used for the washing line. Think they'd have stood a better chance against both the cops and claytoners. still makes me laugh to this day
