Ha ha yep was there. In the Rochdale Road End with my gf at the time, at HT i gave her the car keys and got some cop to let her out as she was drenched. He only looked about ten and got all gobby and said if he was me I should leave as well. Was also at the ladder game and like someone else mentioned recall someone shouting get down to City fans on the roof of a programme kiosk and also climbing up the floodlight next to sheepfoot lane. Happy days !It was a beautiful August morning and early afternoon. I had a t shirt and jeans on. Right on kick off it pissed it down for the entire game.
At half time the water was building up at the bottom of the terrace and the first 3 or 4 steps were covered. Two blues near to me took off their shoes and socks and wrung their socks out and hung them on the fence in front of us.
The final whistle went and the rain stopped, the sun came.out!
All the best people come from Cheadle Hulme.Thanks. Explains why I've never heard of it
Though all this is before my 1st visit to the Kenny and (when I par-took) the massive wall of TVs

I am concerned by the decision to have no away fans at the 0ld firm games. Their has always been trouble at these games but why stop the away allocation now ? This follows on from huge reductions in the ticket allocations for both the East and west lancs derby's. Is their a determination to do away with away support entirely and further sanitise the match day experience. Mad days at Oldham are a thing of the past for better or worse wouldn't like the 80s back but there must be a happy medium.

I suspect a lot of the decisions like in Glasgow or with the Lancs derbies will be made or suggested by the police.I am concerned by the decision to have no away fans at the 0ld firm games.

If the police are presenting the clubs with a huge bill to police these games then I guess clubs will do whatever they can to reduce those costs.
