1 - 4 Ron Futcher Hat trick? 1978 I think. I was there, very intimidating!

I do remember that game well but it was well before the one I went on the coach to. We got hammered. Not sure if it was 4-0. Definitely 2-0 when we got there though.

This happened at my first away game 9 or 10 yr old .
Elland Rd around ‘80’ iirc.
A load of windows smashed in .
A nice introduction to away games ffs!

1978 Battle of Elland Road. FA Cup. Had to fight all the way from the coach park and back again. The young snowflakes of today have no fkg idea.

You can do mega bus without staying over.
23.30 back to Manchester about 5.30 on Saturday.

Sounds good to me

 

[aka blue jambo]

Obviously not ideal but for London hotel prices ain't that bad

Ron Futchers finest hour ! Still got the Sunday papers cutting from that match. One was a diving header ,Mick Channon got the other I think

I was on the first coach in.

Got there about 3 hours before kick off, and there was already around 150 Leeds waiting for us!

Definitely survival mode!

We got the train. Escort picked us up at the station and marched us straight to the ground. They came at us from the motorway embankment, behind us, in front, completely surrounded us. It was like Custers last stand. Police horses riding shotgun in a circle while bricks and bottles rained down on us.

Survival mode couldn't be more accurate mate.

Happy days mate. Coming back from derby over the tops mid winter late 70s with all the windows in. Jesus it was cold

Or from West Ham in '77, rain blowing in at 70mph all the way back up the motorway.

Man City fans left furious as FA Cup fixture vs Tottenham moved

Manchester City's FA Cup fixture with Tottenham has been moved to a kick-off slot that will make it extremely difficult for away fans to organise travel arrangements.

I hate the way the broadcasters have the say on schedules, they should at least fund a couple of extra trains back to Manchester, bastards!
