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

[A Blue]

Used to be opposite the players tunnel in the Kippax ,and always remember as the players started to come out, the spread of the noise levels as more and more people saw them appear. Hope that makes sense ?
The smell of emptyness from the platt lane after the 5-1.

Talking of Wordsworth............I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'r vales and hills

anyone else think he was on something ?

[Sue Denim]

The smell of my grandad's whisky-laced coffee at half time
The taste of my Burton's Wagon Wheel (my match day treat)
The sound of 'The Boys in Blue' as the lads emerged from the tunnel
