kane2005 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I don;t think the pre match in the Manchester bar at Blackpool can compare with much. Maybe the pre match at Watford a couple of seasons ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I remember the Villa 93 game that LionofGosforth tlks about.It was our sheer dominance of a side that had finished 2nd the previous season that convinced me we were a special side.Papa vas played that day and Bobby Lee terrorised their left back all day on the right hand side of midfield. aye, was a great day out aswell. we'd met a local in some bar in the city centre (he was booking his trip to deportivo) and we had a few drinks with him. he said he'd take us to his pre match pub and off we went, it was claret and blue all ove, like their strawberry. i had a word with him on the way in"if we go down you are the first on the floor" while one of the other lads got a speech of one of us as he was going to take off hus nufc lapel badge "if you've got one thing in this life it's pride and if you take that badge off i'm going to drag you on top of that pool table to sing the blaydon races"........the local was as good as his word and there was no bother. in the game steve staunton gave away his customary penalty and we really became a good team. Yep,I went in their end and we were sheperded into the Toon side area by the police...definitely over crowded in there but nobody cared...remember getting back to Cov and getting arseholed.Great day. I can also recall seeing a load of Toon fans being escorted from the Holte end, sadly one of them was a bloke in his 50's who'd obviously caught a few whacks and was on a stretcher going around the side of the pitch as well. Apart from that sad sight, brilliant day, dominated on and off the pitch. We had the whole end behind the goal and a coupe of thousand up the side as well, wall to wall Toon fans around the ground. One of my favorite away days ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Marseille. Other than that, I'm not too sure. Been on some cracking away days when I think about it... Marseille was good, my only European away but we took the place over. Maybe down by the harbour we did. However at the match, the locals whirled up a fantastic atmosphere that seemed to stun our lot into silence. Considering it was a semi final, we were very quiet that night.

Cajun Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Their crowd was amazing, banter between ends of the ground and everything. Was exciting to see. I was stuck in the 'cage' in the first half and it was good having the fans in the away end singing at us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Their crowd was amazing, banter between ends of the ground and everything. Was exciting to see. I was stuck in the 'cage' in the first half and it was good having the fans in the away end singing at us. I can just remember how steep the terracing/bucket seating was. I remember thinking it would have been fairly dangerous if we'd scored. Our pathetic performance on the night made sure there was no risk of that though. Actually looking back, in the famous Wolves game which followed Marseilles where the SJP crowd mainly snubbed the lap of honour, I'm sure it was less a reaction to "only" finishing 5th and more a frustrated gesture in the aftermath of such a dismal performance in such a massive game in France.

It was very dodgy, there was a fair bit of space at the front but you couldn't see through the fence bit. IIRC correctly we had double the amount of people in the away end too. A couple of times people fell foward and I thought it could get very dodgy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 4-1 at the stadium of light. Also, Old Trafford in (i think '89 just the week after we'd been relegated )i hope some of the older members can back me up on this as i was only young but Old Trafford was about a third full. If that. A shit time however you slice it but now whenever i'm in an argument with an armchair manc i think back to that game and it makes me smile I'd love to be able to see us in one of the big european ground, my mates all went to the san siro i'd love to do that someday. It was nowhere near full at OT that day but it was certainly nearer 2 thirds full than one.If my memory serves me correctly we only got 20,000 for the home fixture that season too. After i posted that i searched google. Acoording to wiki the man united attendance against us was 30,379 which backs up what you're saying. However, i just spoke to my dad and he said no way. He reckons the attendance was was in the teens, 17-18000 at best. Also, he can recall him and my uncle talking on the way down about the attendance at Old Trafford on the previous wednesday night which had actually made the news. Man United had their lowest attendance (probably in the league) since the war against Everton and it was somewhere around 10000. Wiki claims this was 26,722 my old boy is certain this figure is way out too. Either way i, the lasting memory of my first trip to Old Trafford is huge gaping holes on the stretford end. So like i said, these days when i'm being harrassed by an armchair manc about our lack of success, i can say i supported my team through thin and thinner.

mattynufc Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Mackems away when we won 4-1, for obvious reasons. Bristol City last season, had a top night out after it and made a good weekend of it. Everton this season, good night out in Liverpool and we won! Blackburn away this season wasn't too bad, purely due to the reason we met Morton Gamst Pedersons cousin on the train there, which then led to sharing a taxi and him insisting on paying for it. Good fella. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
