FA Cup 3rd Round - ManUre (A) Monday 10.1.22 7.55pm KO

[Chico Hamilton III]

I remember a league game at Old Trafford in the late 80’s where we must have taken the best part of 10,000 fans, paying on the gate. Took everyone by surprise.They just kept opening extra pens in the Scoreboard End to let more Villa fans in. It was incredible. We were packed so tightly that we couldn’t lift up our hands to protect ourselves from the fireworks that the Man United fans were firing into our end.

Ah, the good old days. Remember it well.

This one?

[Lastfootstamper]

That's the one! I think it was that one I got home in record time from, thousands of us herded onto a really short train at Warwick Road, wedged in tighter than on the terrace, and it blasted back, only stopping at Wolverhampton to swap coppers. I was in the Red Lion in Kings Heath before 7.

Bloody Steve Bruce with the header. Nice break-away from McInally and finish from Sid to level it up.

We had tickets, but it was madness, I know a few lads that ended up on the Stretford End.

The bloody fog when we got back as well, you couldn't see Aston Church from the path outside.

And I'll never wipe the image of the dear old grannies above us in the seats calling us everything under the sun as we were leaving.

Only 900 gone, with 1865 eligible. Could still see this going to general sale.

There were some proper darlings up there over the years, vicious, foul mouthed and with faces like Arthur Mullard.

Good job that we did not get 8,000 tickets for this game?
