Us in 2000 v Chelsea, ref blew up early. V Spurs in 1993,tried and failed.I’d be interested to know if they’ve had more games abandoned due to crowd problems than any others ? I can only imagine the dippers coming close?

I remember coming out of that one trying to convince myself it was progress as we'd lost 4-0 the previous season.Joe Royle signed on Christmas Eve '74, made his debut at Anfield on Boxing Day when we got hammered 4-1.
Yeah said it failed. Chelsea there was no minute board, like they did in the derby, stewards went round with fingers out telling the border stewards the length of added time before the 90. It was 2 or 3 mins, but 10 seconds were played and the ref blew due to fans encroaching for a big on the pitch.Can’t remember Chelsea but the spurs game restarted ;)
Emotionally City did relegate Utd. My point being that the ref only abandoned the game when he knew all hope for them had gone. It’s simple really - before that game Utd were not relegated. After it they definitely were.Thank you Gary but I still say City relegated them. Had utd won then the other teams would have relegated them. They didn’t win. They lost to City so knew they were down. Confirmation of the result was a mere formality.
