I was in the Stretford paddock too.. we were in the Stretford end but as we got in the ground could hear city songs / blue & white balloons in the stretford paddock, so we moved in to there.. must of been 200 or so.. we got surrounded by police in 2nd half.. great celebrations in there when Curle scored!!

Was in the paddock that night too. Had a red with us who decided to stand in the stretford end for his own safety! Great night and one of my favourite trips to the swamp

I missed the game.Pissed up like a lot of blues that day, boddies pub near ground
Some Blackburn youth ( rover's firm ) turned up to check us out and back the seasiders and they ended up getting a right kicking
Got lifted after a few of us chased them and got involved with them and some Blackpool fans a few streets away.
Got banged up and was let out a couple of hours after the game.

amazing footage, I used to show this to my football students as a reason to never ever give up - and always dig in deep

I used to stand on the Kippax with my dad but was a bit young to go to many away games with a paddock or terrace in the top flight. Nearly all were seats by the time I started going away regularly. Think one of the only ones I went to with standing for away fans when I was a kid was Coventry away in 1990 when we got beat 3-1...not really any 'scenes' that day!
For obvious reasons much harder to celebrate like that when you've got seats all around you lacerating your legs. But best away scenes in similar circumstances I was at was Villa away in the cup in 05 or 06...when Micah equalized in the 94th minute. That was carnage (or as close as it gets in 21st century).

I was in that end, I use to travel to away games with the Blackpool branch, went into the Dog and Partridge before game, wouldn't let us in after.
The game that stands out for me was at Pompey in the 1985 promotion season, some cracking scenes after the goals go in, Including the Portsmouth one to be fair.

I probably was. Went to a fair few January games at Blackpool. God, it was windy and cold.
I remember Blackpool fans ripping off slates from the roof and throwing them into our paddock. Very scary.

great day that I will never forget the goal mouth scramble we were right behind the net. got the train that day the old British rail train with the one legged tables,
my mates mum and dad had a pub in stockport so we raided the cellar and filled a bag with about 50 bottles of lager the good old days. also was at leeds rd for the gidman equaliser what a ground that was
