So was reminiscing with a fellow blue here in NZ last night at the Cossie club... We talked about the dark old days.... I used to stand in the Gene Kelly corner right at the top most , with the guys from the Old Cock (rip) in Stretford ..he was a north stander, posh git ....... was some odd times .. from bananas to inflatable crocodiles. Used to hang with Ken Hand... anyone know of his whereabouts? ... but question is where did you stand / cry .. I'll always remember the 3-3 against Bournmouth ... still keep in touch with the posties we met who came up in the van from there ... wasn't hard to be a blue in those days, we expected nothing got it in loads regularly but just enjoyed the shit sammy we got ....!

Used to sit on the tunnel wall near Platt lane or stand at the very back near the stairs. Had a season ticket in the north stand behind Helen one year.

Started off as a kid sat on the purple benches in the platt lane right behind the net. Then went in the north stand when it was given to away fans and ended up in the Kippax. Just on a side note does anybody remember using their UB40 in the platt lane to get reduced admission price? Not sure how long this was for but I remember my brother moaning when he used to forget it and having to pay full whack or have I dreamt this!
