These are absolutely brilliant!! I started going in around 83' , this brings back really good memories you can almost smell the hot dogs and fags!! It makes me feel sad at the lost atmosphere of those days and I feel sorry for the younger lads or should I say lads and women!!, Who never experienced standing up!!!On that subject there isn't many women there is there? It seems to be lads mostly aged 14-30. You can see the fashion starting as well kickers and drainpipes and cagoules. When did the big fences go up?? The coppers still stood 3yrds apart when the big fences were up too.. I remember that curb crawling **** Pleat running across the pitch I cried my eyes out that day not really realising what was going on must be coz our kid and my dad was so devastated., I'm sure the big fences were up then?? These pictures have made my night!!! Proper nostalgia WHEN FOOTBALL HAD ATMOSPHERE!!! Thanks for posting them mate!!

great pics.
Same as you de niro, and if you ever find where the years have gone please let me know.
Thanks to the OP for posting these great photos, suspect they are a bit of a shock to the younger supporters
Fantastic pictures, I was 21 then, things I'd forgotten - the MuEN van selling the Pink after games, back then I couldn't fathom out how they managed to get the results printed so quickly. Went in the away section a time or two and seeing that picture from the back of the stand reminded me how steep and high those iron steps were. As a couple have mentioned, hardly any women, no wonder there was so much mither.
Cheers for posting them OP

Picture 7 far right big fuck off flares on...lancs blue said:blue b4 the moon said:salford blue 62 said:what brilliant pictures,great times and memories i use to go home and away all the time then,being e carefree 19 year old pissed up perry boy,as opposed to now being a pissed up 51 year old perry boy ,got anymore
Same as me.
It's amazing how few women are on those pics or maybe not thinking back to what the maychday experience as its called now was like.
Also the almost total absence of replica shirts. One or two in those pics still wearing flares too, very 70s!
That must have been the Manyoo West Yorkshire branch they were always a couple of years behind.
All the City lads in straight legs, kickers or samba and plenty of Adidas cagoules as well...Even the girl in picture 5 with the Princess Di hair cut!!
