Cheap seats in the main stand behind that pillar (that I always moved from when people didn't turn up).

Paying about 70p to get in the kippax,the odd little old man stood on a milk crate,and when some dirty bastard farted and you couldn't lift your arms to hold your nose......and Phealan's goal.

The sweet aroma of "exotic" cigarettes.
Leaving the beehive at 2;45 & still getting a burger before going into the North Stand, chips & gravy from the bluemoon chippy after the game finished at the dòor of the beehive

Getting to Maine road through all the back alleys then Walking up the steps to the kippax, down the other side and seeing the pitch and getting to our place by the 1152 sign.

Lovely to see how many people mention going to matches with dads and granddads. Just as it should be and hopefully always will.

The train to Belle Vue. A few beers in the Midland, sit in the big front window about 230 and watch the No.53 come down Hyde rd. The trip in reverse but with a kebab/burger from Sinbads on Dicky road.
