Loads of blues in the paddock that day. I was only 16 and was a bit twitchy, neednt have been

I was in the paddock that day in the section to the right of the then dugouts and the following year and in virtually the same position the following year when they won 1-0 the following year and the next year(1-1) in the Stretford End groundside with loads of blues with the police seperating us from then, slighty edgy that time but fairly relaxed the previous two years.

It was also the season when the attendance for the Maine Road Derby was higher than the one at Old Trafford.

So much for 55,000 week-in week-out or whatever Bobby Charlton used to claim.

Oh definitely mate. Not disagreeing.

It's just that this specific one in 89-90 was relatively more recent and is constantly denied.

I’ve read about this match many times on here, sounds like this channel has a few of the details wrong again though like the last video posted by them

It wasn't it was due to City taking the piss years before on London Bridge, hence why Millwall and their pals turning out as they did.

This was late 80s, and mentioned in a number of books to.
