City causing mayhem at Oldham.

Like many other City fans I was there that day.

And it was total mayhem all through the match, and throughout the day.

Has anyone still got those ladders?

Was the old Trafford one when we met at Victoria and walked up Chapel street , trying to get up Ordsall lane , but the police had different ideas walked us in to town and up Chester road , didn’t see one of them until near the ground bit of sabre rattling , the bullies didn’t like the look of what we had that morning … bit of a row at night was in that pub near Hulme big glass fronted place …

I'm sure I remember a story when I was a young kid, still at junior school so mid/late 70's. They were playing City away and hundreds of them got off the train in Stalybridge and went on the rampage, frightening the old dears out doing their Saturday shopping. About their limit that.

That top photo looks like Boundary Lane, Hulme .... near to where Trinity High School is now.

I make you right about Boundary Lane but Trinity was built in the 80s on the back of the riots. That's The Gamecock in the background, which they'd just left, en route to The Salutation, as the other guy says. The school is in the opposite direction. I actually think this was the year after The Science Park though, but could be memory issues there.

That was the FA cup game and we did meet at Victoria as you said.
The one where we walked to Old Trafford via Hulme was when we met at The Lord Lyon.

Was a few years before my time Science Park, but the stories are always great to hear, even now.

No shock to see B with a beer in his hands haha

It was a brilliant day, on and off the pitch. We fuckin hammered the bastards. There's a picture of a few of us in the Salutation just before it went off. Some cracking pictures coming through on this thread, keep em coming chaps.

Thanks mate. Memory issues as per. Actually the reason I thought it might be the year after was because I can remember being in a pub in Hulme after a derby talking about the Science Park with people. But City were also in Hulme after the Old Trafford derby that year, so maybe that was it? Technically the year after, but the same season. Either way, 23 years ago. Jesus.

I get a bit like that pal. Was in a few of them pictures but struggle to remember which game they were and what year. But I can remember all the 80s games when I was a kid. Strange.
 
I have a faint memory of meeting at The Star a few times......was it a dreamThe Star Hulme.jpg?


Also scrapping at the roundabout where the old scooter and motorbike shop was.
Skreeton and Wooly etc. Serious days.
