Great photo!
 
61 since last December. Spent my first 10 years living on Claremont Rd, about 5 mins walk from Maine Road. Then moved to Longsight in 1973, and lived there for 9 years before moving over here in late 1982. Been a fan since the early seventies (I vaguely remember going to a 3-3 Derby game at Maine Road. Also, memories of a Charity Shield game with Burnley around that era. Is that FOC enough?

A genuine FOC from Level 3? Is 305 in the East Stand. So yer not one of the annointed FOCs from CBL3?

I'll raise yer two, In fact, I could be raising yer three in a couple of months, Fred. Block 323. I just thought for a minute that E was a £ and yer'd only paid £129 for yer ST.

67 - lived on Grandale street and went to school on Claremont. First full game was a mid week cup replay (vStoke?). 60k before the new northstand (scoreboard end). My Dad (wasn't with me) got his wallet lifted and found next day in the Kippax bogs. Lost all the cash he was hiding from my Mum! It was my fault, obviously!

Why do FOC’s sit on L3 when it’s harder to get up there and the play is further away? Shouldn’t FOC’s be sat on L1? I can’t ever see myself moving to L3.

It takes longer and longer to walk up that spiral, I think the the club add an extra circle every week.
 
72 years young and watching since 66, with some great, and not so great memories. need the padded seat in 93.20 CB to keep me going these days!!
 
66 now, Born Stockport (Reddish) first game 1964, season ticket since 1974, travelled home and away until 1986, got married then home games only, when kids grew up started going away including lots of European games, every final and semi final since 74, still get excited going to Wembley, love our CLUB and fellow fans, hate the rags, Once a Kippax Boot Boy, always a Kippax Boot Boy, L2 Block 202.
 
61. Told it before but I was a glory hunting 9 year old in Berkshire who was then rightly punished by only celebrating one trophy in the next 40 years. Must be a bit like being a Forest fan who started supporting them in 1991. Obviously, didn't get to many games but worshipped the KIng. I was obsessed and even used to keep a scrapbook of every article about him in the paper. Couldn't believe it when Nationwide did a massive piece on him and his recovery. That injury made sure England were getting nowhere near Argentina 78. Still hate Martin Buchan, although he has probably been punished by having that tackle as being the only thing he is known for. And also not as vicious as Ben Thatcher. I think this much rambling qualifies me...........
