On the subject of Jehoviah Witness's - at Maine Road in the 80's, they used to hold an annual celebration. I passed down Claremont Road one summer and the car park was heaving with coaches.

TGR said:Does anyone remember the Jehova's wittness who used to stand outside the turnstiles of the Kippax Street stand wearing a sandwich board which proclaimed 'Prepare to Meet thy Doom!' and a bowler hat in the late 60's and early 70's? I remember he once said that Colin Bell 'was a sinner' and it nearly kicked off!
He also had a slogan 'Repent before it is too late'. That was going back to the early 1960s. I think he would stand outside Old Trafford as well
His predictions have not been too good so far.
My sisters Boyfriend around the late 1970s told me bout this guy,He also told me before a derby @ the swamp the old guy recognised him and promptly yelled @ the top of his voice,"Ah its my counter parts from Maine Road" which ensued in a mad dash to get inside as the old bloke appeared to have signalled a cavalry charge to him and his mates by hundreds of brain dead apes/rags/unwashed !!

As an 18 year old walking down Wembley Way in 1981, just as we got to the end of it, there he was, placard in hand. City fans around us applauded his loyalty to the cause!
That was the Saturday game, no idea if he made the replay.
Bet he wasn't at York away either ;)
I also remember seeing him at Wembley, he got lots of cheers from the City fans. I also remember fans taking the piss when we played Liverpool at home, telling him that God wouldn't mind as St John (Ian) was playing.
