Question for older blues.

[Mark - TheBlue]

According to this Rag during the 1985 derby they filled 70% of maine road ?
"Maine Road in September 1985. United filled about 70% of the ground in that match"

Surley this is bollocks ? Anyone who was there give me an account and say how far from the truth this rag is? Cheers.

I've been at every home derby since 1977 and they have never had anything like that.

Not like the rags to try to re-write history, is it?

 

[laserblue]

total bollocks. even in the unsegregated pay-at-the-gate 60's the most they ever had was about 15% and that was all in the kippax.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Seconded. They never had more than a third of the Kippax.

 

[tonea2003]

to show how ludicrous this is
out of a crowd of 48,773
there would been only 14,632 city fans in the firsrt home derby for 3 seasons
as we had just come up
utter shite
