scum v city 82

[Bluemanc1968]

If we had 10,000 for the 1986 derby Gary what sort of estimate would you put on the number we had for the FA Cup game in Jan 1987?

I was at that game and it was 14,000 if I remember rightly. The FA Cup allocation rule was 25% then. We had the whole of K and J stand and the SCoreboard End.

That defeat hurt, really hurt.

Didsbury Dave, are you one of the lads that was in Cyprus last year!!! is so are you one of the ''Bluses''?

Can any of you guys remember, when the Kippax was split in half! was this not a Derby, My memory is shit, but I seem to remember it being a Night match!!! could of been a cup tie.

Think it may have been the 4-0 League Cup win in 75/76, as the rags didn't get all the Platt Lane in those days so to get a full allocation they split the Kippax more or less down the middle.

I remember the Platt Lane area nearest to the corner was full of Hoolies from city, from the back of the tier to the wall, back in the day! they used to stand up all game!! after we played Leeds, it was not long after that game the allocated the platt lane to away fan's
