Maine Road in one sentence

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!!!
 
Rudi Antic and David Pleat
10-1
5-1
Horse Shit
Helen The Bell
The scoreboard that never worked
Look after your car?
Jamie Pollock
Gene Kelly stand
The club 'shop'
Shattered Dreams!
 
First ever game:1-1 v Chelsea 71 (Platt Lane)
First ever defeat: 2-3 v Palace 73 (Main Stand)
First Tour of the Stadium: August 1977 (the day that Elvis Presley died)
First ever game in North Stand: 4-0 v Norwich 77
First ever game on the Kippax: 1-2 v Stoke 80
First time on the pitch: 1-0 v Birmingham 2000

Funny because I've sat in all the stands at the ETIHAD, but I'd struggle to remember anything similar without googling or checking my programmes etc.
