A smell and a sound that remind you of Maine Road...

hot dogs, Helen's bell and "mind your bike"
You've got to be a certain age to appreciate this.

I remember standing in the same part of the Kippax with my brother when I was a puppy. There was one guy who used to stand just in front of us who must have been 20 stone plus. He would turn up just before kick off, it was like the parting of the Red Sea as he made his way to his usual vantage point.

I would then be overcome shortly afterwards by the most toxic fart smell that any human or animal could produce. Then strangely, nothing else all game.

Thats the smell. Should I have posted this is characters, or does being fat and farting not count?

The roar that you could hear as you walked up those narrow streets.

 

[Lee-ManCity]

The smell of a freshly laid, steaming horse turd in the alley between the Kippax and the Platt Lane, and the sound of the pissed up/strange guy who week after week tried starting "City, City, the best team in the land and all the world".............it caught on eventually!!!

that will probably be my dad or his mate lol

 

[Swales lives]

Smell: Pipe tobacco and Juicy Fruit chewing gum and the smell of the brewery before you got to the ground
Sound: "Mind yer car mate?".
Sights:
Midweek matches: under floodlights, the pitch glowing like a snooker baize
Saturday matches: Looking out of the match bus window going through Hulme and reading "Bobby Sands we salute you" painted in big white letters.

Cigars in the Maine Stand when I used to go with my Granddad in the early eighties.
