Obviously heard loads about the home match but what about the away that season - I don't supposed many teams went to Manchester that year.
How many did we take ?

March 1st St Davids day 1975. Very few FANS if I remember right as it was also Scotland v Wales same day. And I can not remember seeing any trouble between the two sets of fans that day, but mind I was a little tippsy to see any thing.













:old: AND STILL TIPPSY

I was at OT, I broke a heel off my platforms. Police boarded our bus before we got into Manchester and warned us not to wear colours and to fake our accents :lol:
