Yep, we crept out and ended up in Moss side, went to a pub just outside the estate and we were talking to Manure fans and they said they'd have kicked poo out of us if they hadn't realised what we were actually doing/singing! They were actually decent and had a few drinks with them, the only unnerving thing was one of them kept saying "yooo's boys are very lucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 A lot of teams up there would prefer the likes of us compared with the Bournemouths of this world. I get the idea it's to visit traditional stadiums with a bit of atmosphere and have well followed, lively fans back. I think it also depends on where teams are when you grow up, which is why a few are picking Wimbledon and Coventry. With this I always think of Hull, Swansea and Wigan as 3rd division teams.

Greengrass Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Had some good days out at Man Utd in the 90's. The dambusters game was chaos, but I seem to remember Man U ticket prices were some of the cheapest in the land at the time, their stewards always seemed to look for bother.

Guest Copthorneowl Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Remember really well in my early years as a supporter when we were a PROPER big team in1961 (we were runners up to Tottenham around that time and nobody came to Hillsborough expecting to compete). We played Man U at Old Trafford and they had new young goalkeeper called Biggs or Briggs anyway think it was his debut he had a nightmare we won 7-2 hard to believe I know but true.

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 All time favourite game 4:4 v them at Hillsboro. They were peeing the league under Tommy Doc with Gordon Hill and Steve Coppell and we were fairly poo . Hillsborough was so depopulated in those days to see it nearly full was amazing. The match had everything - great goals including a Colin Harvey screamer - crowd trouble - poor old Jim Holton breaking a leg - all left its mark on my soul - the kind of mad exhilaration you only have as a youngster. Never been able to dislike them since then and I suppose it's partly cos I remember when they were crap with people like John Fitzpatrick replacing gods like Bobby Charlton as the Busby Era ended. One point to make about their fans - well maybe two. First, I used to live there and whenever I went with mates etc they would always cut youngsters lots of slack. At the time we'd just packed Chris Morris off to Celtic and I remember thinking we could be a bit more patient. Second, not too long after, Sky tried to take them over and the fans were part of the reason that Murdoch backed down. God knows what the PL would have looked like if that had happened - it probably would have been compulsory for them to win it. Yes - I hate the media fawning but that goes with the territory and (I think) started with Munich and just carried on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a Man U fan trying to get into the Park pub with his face smashed in after getting knocked all over the car park How desperate must he have been? Trying to get INTO the Park Hotel wearing a Man U shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
