Great picture pal. I have the same one and also the half and half scarf with Manchester City spelt the Ukranian way. Along with Middtjeland probably my favourite European away trip. Although the long wait after the final whistle, walk through the park with a couple of thousand police officers was not necessarily a highlight. Did you drink the illegal 'hooch' offered over the segregation barrier?

We did the Thomas Cook one night trip, so were shuttled to the airport fairly quickly after the game. The previous day was lovely until the sun and temperatures went down, and I thought that Kiev was one of the most picturesque places I had ever visited.

However my overall impression was the number of locals, who were dressed like policeman. hoping to scam a gullible tourist

I remember thinking the Ipswich end looked fuller at the time, wierdly, and you can see it in that photo. Bizarre as tickets were like gold dust.

Me and Rammyblues got tickets off his mate he worked with in Bolton called Alan Meadows, his parents who couldn't go.

We were sat in the stand behind the goal (opposite end to the Holte end, can't remember what the stand was called, right up in the Gods. What a day that game was.

Brilliant these pictures bringing back so many memories.

Great thread thanks to all that have contriibuted.

They did seem more packed in than us that day but if you remember the rest of the ground was much more city fans than Ipswich.

Yes there were. I was in the top tier of the stand to the right as you look out from the Holte End. Was only 11 but I've got some clear memories. One is everyone waving from cars on the M6. Another is Ipswich being all over us for the first half hour, and my Dad shitting it.Then I remember the City fans in other ends waving en masse at the Holte End. Remember that? it happened a bit in those days. Then my most vivid memory of the day is the sea of blue scarves when we sang "never walk alone" after the goal.

Think that stand was called the Witton End.

It was ultimately a riot mate. City fans ran across the pitch into the home sections and dismantled half the roof on the paddock.

In a strange way you're both correct.
Most of these Blackpool 84 pictures were taken at half time, when there were too many people in one part of the ground. Many City fans, myself included, were then allowed onto the pitch, in order to move to the open terrace behind the goal.
However, according to the anecdotal evidence, the crush had been caused by ticketless blues kicking down a perimeter wall and forcing entry.
I just remember it as being drunken carnage, which seemed par for the course at the time. No excuses, it was just the way it was, in that mid 80s pre Heysel period.
I think this was also the day that the rags lost to Harry Redknapp's Bournemouth
