Maine Road in one sentence

[Pleatfooted]

10p did you not sneak on like everyone else

Nah, the double decker only had between 20-30 blues on it most of the time so there was never a queue to get on it, so unless Helen Keller drove it there was no chance haha

 

[trevorriley]

smell of fags and beer
constant hand clapping & singing
first game - league cup 1978
beating rags 1 nil in first derby there
Everton fa cup quarter final win 3-1
First pitch invasion when we won promotion

Great memories but needed to leave, it was getting in an embarrassing state.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Getting a piece of turf and planting it in our lawn.

Maine Road was a dump, but it was our dump.

Where my Dad taught me to love City and my Uncle taught me to hate the scum.

"Doubling up" through the Kippax turnstiles. Free pies as my mate knew a kid on the stall. Colin Hendry's airplane. Chelsea's "Blues Brothers" laying a reef at the Kippax just before it was demolished. The whole ground singing "You'll never walk alone" the week after Hillsborough. Standing in the queue all night to get playoff final tickets and the people in front of us buying us kebabs as we only had credit cards. Watching all the fag lighters around the ground sparking at a night match.

Embarassing and Maine Road do.not.go.together....in my book.
