sunderland fan here. joined a while ago to ask if you remembered us from maine road 1991. was there yesterday at the SOL, i doubt you could pack more confusion into 60 seconds if you tried. it all happened so quick it wasn't till the screen lit up 3-2 that the place erupted. funny old game, what...

i think it was more relief than celebration. hopefully we can do you a few favours along the way to make up.

to be honest its barney rubble though the day. i only wear my fred flintstone on a hot date and job interviews. hope you're right with MON. this time next year rodney you could be watching ac milan v sunderland at the san siro. yabadabadoo

fancy dress, you cheeky manc? they were my best togs!!!!! with the numbers your right, who's to say. i'll promise there was 15k minimum and leave the remainder to legend. it was a sad day for us. one day we might lift a trophy and i hope all the city fans who shared that day will remember us...

ah right, thought he might have worked in a bar/club but remember it was a daytime kickoff. i might of known him or at least where he worked. it's normally not too bad as long as you don't wear black and white on derby day but if he's at uni he must be clever enough to know that already.

fair comment but many will confirm they let thousands pay on top of the tickets that were sold under police instruction. it got to a point where they cut it off and the rest were locked out. on youtube even the city fan mentions about the sunderland fans who then tried to break down the kippax...

what does he do for work in the centre? i'm involved in bars and nightclubs, sometimes in sunderland but mainly in newcastle. blackburn fans must have had a small steve keane out banner that day. think they'd sewn two hankies together and brought it up on a bicycle.

sounds like a bit of shouting and a firework. no need for Danny Dyer or Ross Kemp to helicopter in just yet then.

sorry to hear and hope he got to work ok!! surprised he was mistaken for a blackburn fan, they didn't have any in the ground.

get yourself on youtube then my friend, watch and read manchester city sunderland 1991 15,000 were sold officially and lastly, if you weren't there ask a few city fans who were, as most older heads on this forum seem to think its the most aways at maine road. if it makes you happy this is...

calm yerself down chap. there's plenty of city on here who've been around for decades. they know sunderlands got good support and vice versa.

was at the match and from a neutral point of view (in relation to winning the league) city created enough half chances to win 10 games. not too many out and out clear chances but didn't get any lucky bounces and considering how much the ball was zipping around our box thats surprising. you...

definately not growing over 18k. numbers always reported as 15k minimum. we sold 15k. there was more than a couple of hundred mixed in as i'm sure every city fan on here knows. i know the police let as many more into the ends as they could to keep them off the streets but there was still loads...

i don't think we'll ever get an official figure. 15k tickets/official plus anything from 0 to 3k around the ground depending who you talk to. i said at the start 15k but most city fans know we had a lot around the ground. as it happens there was also a LOT locked outside too but you probably...

they came to our place for the milk cup semi final first leg in 1985. they tried the mob handed routine but not in the numbers at yours as it was all ticket. obviously we sold more than enough ourselves to limit their tickets. there was a fair bit of trouble before/after but nothing that wasn't...

yes, no trouble at all really, not considering 15k-18k away fans mostly full of drink who'd just been relegated! i don't think the city fans took the p**s at all and some of them looked gutted for us to be honest. don't get me wrong, there was many thousands of lads in that sunderland following...

just pulling your leg mate!! we both did each other a favour that day. don't know who had the biggest celebration that night, you lot winning the league or us because newcastle had just lost a game!

you could but they're in my sitting room. you wouldn't make us sit on the floor to watch telly you heartless manc?!!

is that the one many years ago when we "won the league for you"??? bit before my time but i'm surprised any city fan would ever have a bad word to say about sunderland!!

joe hart was right in front of me second half, literally yards in front. he "kicked" and "headed" every ball when you were attacking and looked more and more frustrated as time went by. Hey looked gutted at the final whistle and you could tell that it meant more to him than money. he played well...
