BTH said:The point was that many years ago when Stockport played on a Friday night, more than quite a few City fans lent them their support both vocally and financially, unlike the rags. Therefore, it stuck in quite a few Blue throats, not just because their fans gloated after their Maine Road win, but because of their short memories.
Exactly!
I had a season ticket at County 1977/8 when they played on Friday nights, it was only when they wanted money from the pools that they started playing home games on a Saturday!!!
I used to go County home on a Friday, City wherever on the Saturday, and away with County when City were not playing.
On the Friday, out of a crowd of 1700 there were prob 200+ that you knew were City and would be there at Maine Road tomorrow!!!
City played them in every friendly and even bought players (Bill Williams) and then sold them back for a fraction of the original transfer fee.
But they inherited wananbe Rags who supposedly could not get tickets for the swamp and then the real fans were poisoned, by the rags, and became more bitter than the reds!!!
So bye, bye! I for one wont be shedding any tears!! ;-)
They are back where they belong "The 4th Division"
