Happy 5-1 day

[jimharri]

Hinchcliffe's goal was truly a thing of beauty. Pity he became such a tw@.

Yep, Albistons testimonial I think. Resulted in Operation Omega

It was Definitely 89/90 season
Lee duxbury???

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Arguably a better result than the sick swan for me. Reason being, at that time we were pretty meh (being generous!) whereas with the 6-1, we were fast approaching from over the horizon. Did any City fan seriously expect Machin's lads to storm to such a win?


Happy 92nd birthday mum. R.I.P

Machin, Mancini. Almost anagrams..

Mike Duxbury. Yes was May 89. I couldn’t remember this one.
Albiston was May 88. Moran was August 88

i was in N block north stand about 3 rows from the top, first year we got season tickets as an 8yo.

heard a ricky hatton clip on the podcast at the weekend and he was saying he was in the north stand as well. what a day. its funny how my memory though is from the VHS Tyldseleys commentary “united are at sixes and sevens”

Was talking to neil midgelys wife about the game at a funeral last year. Straight after the game she went down to see neil in the referees room, when Ferguson stormed in in a rage saying one of city's goals in the first half should have been disallowed. Apparently neil looked at him and said "OK let's call it 4-1 then"

I thought it was "United all over the place!"

 

[cleavers]

My wife's first derby, she's been to quite a few since, and I don't recall us losing a single one she's been at !

When Morley's went in (2nd goal), it was pandemonium coming so close after the first!! Raucous!!

" Look how bravely Morley went in there"

Which goal and for what reason is the question to bacon

How did you manage to stay there. The OB knew who you were?

Couple of us made out we got injured n that them St. Johns advised us to stay put, fuck knows how we didn't get a tug

Went crazy for each goal :-)

Albiston was the day after last match of season, we'd been away to Palace on the boiling hot Saturday n up Chester Road that nice n sunny Sunday.

Twats showed us on the friggin news...

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

A beautiful day to be at the top of the Kippax with your blue mates watching your dreams come true before your very eyes.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Yep, Albistons testimonial I think. Resulted in Operation Omega

Big following of City fans at those testimonials very well organised and tooled up for giving it to the rags.

It was the start of the OB actions to break up the Governors & Cats.

 

[City Raider]

First derby. In the North Stand beside the ‘botha’. Fair to say every game since has been a disappointment :)

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Whatever became of that Hinchcliffe bloke?

He metamorphosised in to a bitter, envious, anti City **** !!

It was indeed… operation Omega

Was on the Kippax with my nine -year-old daughter,her first derby!!!!
She's now 42 and absolutely City daft,same as her brother and sister.
Mrs. Dobber was a rag when we got married but is now blue through and through and hates everything the rags stand for.
Just by way of interest,my great grandfather was at Hyde Road for the first game there,(was that the one which the King attended?), maybe someone could clarify that for me.

I think the king attended the first game at Maine Road.

1923.
