Who/why/when it was placed. Was it ever lifted? etc
Was thinking all things City when I remembered about the curse and wondered how things would have turned out had we stayed at our 'once hallowed ground'?
If you were real fan you would know the history of the club - its in all the books. Methinks you are from the other side and are trying to give us the jitters
I humbly bow before you oh Great and Mighty Fan. Pray share that, that thou hast gleaned from these sacred books and I shalt slither back to the Dark Side?
lukyman said:Cheers, but I was also led to believe that a very old 'Gypsy Witch' got into an argument with a City hierarchy, he swore at her, she cursed him, his family and City?paulchapo said:Supposedly a gypsy encampment was turfed off the land to build Maine Road and a gypsy cursed us and said we would never have any luck while we were there.
Funny how when we won everything from 1968-1970 the curse was never mentioned.
No, don't worry - curse was a myth made up by rags last time we were successful - and it looks as if they are trying to resurrect it. Must be worried...

The only curses gypsies leave are a field full of shit, an estate that has been looted, missing dogs and not a single secure garden shed. They aren't mythical folk of old they are in most cases a group of freeloading drunks that have no respect for society or others, including there own.

In a way Maine Road was cursed, cos if we had not moved to The COMS, we wouldn't be where we are right now. Now way would Mansour have bought us over.

Good point. It was a great move and we haven't looked back. Left the 'curse' behind us - need to forget it now and be positive
