Outside Maine Road...6th November 1971....3-3 Derby Day Pictures

[dennishasdoneit]

Never wear red on derby day, in fact try to never wear red.

I suspect them two lads(pic4) are reds....they look a bit fish out of water types.
Pic 2 seems to have been taken outside turnstiles which utd fans were congregating in...not sure if there was segregation back in 71,but far too much red on show....

How it should be

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

My first Derby I was 15, brilliant game and felt like win as we equalised so late. No segregation crowd split two thirds blue one third red less mother than I expected. On the he train back to the Fylde Coast after the match a mob of reds tried to intimidate half a dozen blues including a black guy. The black chap pulled an axe from under his coat and the rags fled jumping off the train at Bolton. The rags had a reputation as being the hardest fans round which I now know was built on sheer numbers and soft targets. Seeing them shit themselves and run rounded off an excellent day.
