When our Old Trafford allocation was zero.

[mancitymick]

went to both games, the game in 1992/93, when we lost 2-1, i managed to get 4 tickets in the utd end off one of their branches, the second game in 95/96 we had zero tickets, but got in again through the same utd branch.

going back to 89-90, the brightwell game, the crowd was 40000, with city everywhere, the united sections had 1000's of empties.

Think the Brightwell game was 91 (May be wrong, normally am!) I was there and in the RAG seats for that one as got freebies as at the time my uncle worked for SHARP

Why weren't we allocated tickets? Don't the fickle rags remember when we allowed them to play at Maine Road? Shabby...

The stretford end was being rebuilt, although the lower part was full of utd fans sat in the rain. As i remember, utd wanted to put their fans first due to the reduced capacity.<br /><br />-- Sat Sep 03, 2011 4:09 pm --<br /><br />

Apologies, that was the 1-2 game where we had a reduced allocation. I cannot remember why we had no tickets for the 0-1.

The Brightwell game was 1990 - the one that followed the 5-1 (sept 1989).

Once again I was in the utd end. I was sat exactly in line with Brightwell when he pegged it with his left boot..

Very pleasant.

i think they were rebuilding the united road. The club received 50 tickets for directors and i got one of them, all near the corner flag at the bottom of where they put us now ( scoreboard paddock as was )
hope this helps
