Isle of Man tour, July 1994

[simonk]

8 of us did the 85 trip. And 3 ended up having to stay an extra 2 weeks for taking a souvenir manx flag off a flag pole on the front (amongst a few other misdemeanors TIC)

Can't recollect any hassle during the weekend.

Some good stories there. I didn't make this trip as I didn't have a pot to piss in at the time. Some of my mates went, however, but because they only booked late all the spaces on City's official trip were filled so they had to book on with Oldham's official trip instead!

The "kill the cheese" campaign suggests that the 'turn wembley blue' and 'curly wigs for wembley' brigade read this thread and remember who you are fucking representing

Exactly Dave we are Manchester City not fuckin Blackpool or someone!!

I've been rumbled!

Plenty of pictures from this that I can post. Took a flight to get over to this one. The team were on the same flight. Good times.

Thanks for posting this. Brought back a fair few good memories. The 2 guys doing a lap on the athletics track round the pitch with one of them in just a motorbike helmet is one of the funniest things I think I've ever seen at a game.

Seem to recall that one of the pubs was run by a former page 3 girl. For some reason it was quite popular with the lads!
