The 1-6 game

[tiptopcheshireblue]

Watched it on tv, however I was in the away end for the 5-1, September 21, 1989 aged 18. I was working in London, and travelled to the ground with a typical united fan. From Wolverhampton living in London supporting the rags. We picked up the tickets from a pub near the swamp, and walked to Maine road, talk our place in the rag part of the kippax. Obviously, it went off in the north stand, after 1000 rags were ejected from the stand. The game restarted, city went 3-0 up (oldfield, morley, bishop) but being 5ft6 I could not see the goals. Then Hughes pulled one back with a flukey Scizzor kick. Them we scored again through Oldfield and Hinchcliffe, both of which I did see.
Came out of the kippax after the game, and bumped into my arch enemy from school (rag) who had obviously just come out of the city end.
Walked back to Piccadilly, bought a copy of the pink, read it front to back half a dozen times, as was made to sit still at the table with the only other blue in the carriage, whilst the rags partied like they had won.
Does that count?

The last derby I watched in the away end at the swamp was the 1-1 Brightwell's screamer.

There were a couple of hundred blues in the stretford paddock that day.

I am not sure I could hack being in the swamp's home end without giving myself away.

Also, was fumigation service made available after the game?

Is there a way of watching the whole game on my laptop.
Sad to say I've never seen it as I was on me hols at the time.
Seen tons of highlights but never the whole thing.

Only way I've been able to download it is through Pirate Bay. Just enter 'Manchester City', and it's toward the bottom of the second page. Less than a gig.

I love this game amd it's where I had my 4 minutes of fame :o)

Watching the Cockney Red squirm with every passing goal after he had predicted an easy win priceless. Tried have a chat after the game but he was a broken man.

My Brother Dave got thrown out of the City end for smoking in the bogs , managed to sneak into their main stand for the second half and said it made it all the sweeter.
