ha ha brilliant. remember that game. My mate (r.i.p Mike) had a big yellow "support the miners" badge on. Sat in the Platt Lane, coppers ran in and arse and collared him out the stand, round the pitch to the back somewhere. All the crowd cheering him on. Threw him out but he got back in via a kind hearted steward with his coat turned inside out and a bobble hat on.Think i pissed my pants!BillCarlisle Ex-Manchester said:My all time favourite Kippax black humour chant was when we played Barnsley at home during the Miners' Strike on Boxing Day 1984.
Spontaneous chant to the tune of Band Aid's Feed the World :
"Feed the Miners, let them know it's Christmas Time".
Very cruel, but hilarious at the time. It brought the house down - I think that even the Main Stand laughed.
Fuckin great times. The best. Thank fuck for being blue.
