last game at maine rd

[uwerosler28]

watching all the action and plans west ham have , anyone remember our last game , a dismal defeat by southampton then a shite oasis tribute band followed by badly drawn boy , pretty pathetic when you think back !

 

[Silvercloud]

Sunny day though!

 

[ninjamonkey]

Apart from a win what would you have wanted? I was going for the football, couldn't of cared less what band they put on afterwards

 

[Dribble]

I don't recall Sky giving Maine Road a TV tribute and making a special programme about it's history.....

 

[madchester]

Shite Oasis Tribute Band !!!!! It Was The Doves !!!!!!

 

[SalfordCityBlue]

I like Badly Drawn Boy but when he shuffled out to the middle and started playing laid back acoustic folk you had to laugh.

Wasn't it worse than an Oasis tribute band though - wasn't there some kind of Blues Brothers tribute shit? I remember everyone speculation Noel Gallagher would perform, and then we ended up with that..

But we never single handedly won the World Cup for England whilst simultaneously blowing bubbles and singing 'Any Old Iron' did we!

 

[Wilmslow Road]

Great Piss up though.

 

[ashytheblue]

Didn't the blues band get a round of "who the f**k are you" or along them lines?

this is the one the Doves sang

I bought a ticket out side of a season ticket holder but didn't get the seat numbers, spent the first half in the bogs after i ran away from the stewards, then the second half at the back of the kippax(level1).

Have to say i shed a tear at the end

The game before when we beat Liverpool at Anfield was more memorable .
We also stopped Liverpool from getting champions league football .
A far sweeter day that than the last game at Maine Road .

What?
Sold out beer before half time in the Kippax :-(
Typical City.

Like he said, great piss up!

 

[Kazimierz Genious]

I still divert most mornings on the way into work past where Maine Road used to be, the old City shop/store building has only recently been demolished, I still miss the old place (with the old proper Kippax!).

True, true.... :-)

I now live 0.3 mile away from Maine Road. wish I'd lived here back in the day it would of been better than travelling from Wythenshawe.

Brought a ticket outside discovered it was out of a stolen season book in the main stand. Ended up in the radio commentary box at the back sat next to who else? Stuart Hall!!

 

[East Level 2]

Anyone else at the youth team game four or five days later?

You'd be safe if you were over 12 at the time.

I still have a bottle of unopened white wine, from the exec boxes in the Umbro stand from that game...probably tastes like vinegar now!
