No I get that but instead of dropping it by 3hrs this morning do 2 or 3 criteria hourly just to get rid. And yes I am working today unfortunately a full day

I can understand 3hour slots for criteria when there’s 100’s or 1000’s of tickets but when there’s only 52 and closing early today surely 1hr or 1.5hr slots be enough

We have got 0 before so no.
We also got a very small allocation at the swamp once about 30 years ago.
They showed it on a big screen at maine road.

That derby was in December 1992 (first season of the PL) when the swamp was under a lot of redevelopment and capacity was just over 30k. The away allocation was a few hundred tickets and the rags got round that by the dubious means of the old safety/segregation loophole.
I think it was possibly Cantona’s debut but I certainly don’t tax my brain by asking it to store rags trivia so that may be well be wrong.

It was Cantonas debut , 35.408 turned out .... so we wouldn't have got many tickets, about half the scoreboard end lookin at the youtube video.

Remember queuing all night outside Maine Road for the tickets
Sloped off into the social club for a couple once I got my raffle ticket from the stewards
They opened the North Stand it was that f-in cold

I remember there only being around 300 of us at Liverpool when the Anfield Rd stand was re built? Not good with dates- usually pissed in those days!

I’d imagine that most of them are reserved for guests from the competition sponsors. Think of all those annoying adverts you relentlessly see during TV coverage of CL games - Qatar Airways, Heineken, Mastercard etc

From experience sitting in 93:20 and being moved for the Friends of UEFA as they refer to them, seems most are Liverpool and Celtic fans.
 
If it was a 2-1 defeat then four of us were in their main stand and had tickets for one of their bars after the game.
I think the game on the screen at Maine Road was a 1-0 defeat.
 
Whether or not said:
I just got one at 16.00. It is strange that so few are going as the criteria drops. I had always thought of it as a pyramid getting wider the further it dropped, but possibly the very top bands are wider than the ones just below. Either way I’m relieved.

Yeah, that's the way I remember it as United were rebuilding stands in both 92-93 (2-1 defeat) and 95-96 (1-0 defeat)

The two games in between (end of season 2-0 defeat and 5-0 embarrassment) were both watched by bigger attendances with bigger away allocations

You're right, but for context, United still hadn't won the league since 1967, and it was only 2-3 years since they'd been averaging 36,000 with a capacity of 57,000+( despite their lies about capacity there was a bigger attendance for the Maine Road derby in 89-90 than the one at Old Trafford)

Consequently it was far easier for blues to get a ticket in the home end for all the Old Trafford derbies circa 89-92

It was only after they'd won the Premier League that the demand for tickets increased

Mention the sub 4000 home crowds United got in 1931 , they don’t like that part of the illustrious history , we had a crowd 80000 more only three years later .

One of their home league gates during their 1973/74 relegation season was only 22,000 too ... and I've never met a united fan yet who can remember it.

Similar towards the back end of 88-89 (23,000 v Wimbledon)

The last time I attended a game at the swamp when City weren't the visitors was a midweek 2-1 defeat v Everton, just before we won promotion at Bradford.
I was in the home end with an Evertonian and a fellow blue

Officially 26,000 (but felt lower) and that was before you allowed for the number of travelling supporters
