not anymore

The red corporation buses with the city coat of arms on the side - in those days everyone knew what a Manchester coat of arms was as they saw it every day.

Blokes carrying crudely constructed stools for their little lads to stand on.

Football rattles - some painted in blue white and maroon.

Young players arriving on the bus - e.g. Kenny Clements.

Blokes pissing down alley ways.

Being able to walk in at a minute to three, and pay cash.

The Kippax throwing up so much smoke you could have hid a battleship in it.

Having to buy a programme to make sense of the half time scores.

Chanting 'toodle ooodle ooodle do, who the fuckin hell are you?' at the opposition as they ran out.

Sometimes having a brass band to provide musical entertainment.

What about those small square burger carts selling "Westlers" burgers and hot dogs? I always got told that you should never buy a burger from them because "They never wash their hands"

My cousins auntie used to work on them for her husband (he had a fleet of them). Used to go to the match with my old fella and we used to bump into her on the way to the ground sometimes. Even if us kids were starving she wouldn't give us any as they were bobbins !

Been said by a few already but 'proper' floodlights will become a complete thing of the past. Most new stadiums have loads of lights around the roof rather than four big towers.

White dog shit.

Fucking hell, Manford's gonna be cutting and pasting his little heart out on here tonight, his HP deskjet is gonna be fucked. You've just given him a sell-out show with all that lot.

The glorious day when we were all chanting 'Elton is a rent boy' when he was doing the post match TV stuff from the ground.

I think it might have been at Everton and we were held behind as usual?

When we got home my dad played it back and it was clear as day on the TV, classic.
