[Pepup]

Sitting in the Gene Kelly stand for the last game ever at Maine Road with tears in my eyes ....................

 

[Pleatfooted]

Catching the coach from golbourne to Manchester with two mates
No roof on the kippax toilets
Geordies throwing bricks while trying to have a piss
Bunking in when the gates opened
The smell
The noise - nothing louder than the kippax in full voice
The banter
The violence - the buzz terrible when I look back
The 10 - 1
The 5 -1
Peter Barnes - that goal against Chelsea
My first derby - 12 years old I think
The pink
Silk scarves on wrists
The wins - more losses in those days!!
Home - fecking loved the place!!!

Should've joined us on the match bus from leigh bus station pal if your talking about the mid 80's, my grand parents lived behind the hare n hounds in Golborne

Anybody remember the the turnstile in the kippax you would exit at once the main turnstiles were shut, someone had bent the bottom up if you were slim enough you could lie on your back and sneak underneath bet there's a few on here that did it the amount of kids I used to see do it once the match had started and the dibble had fucked off
