I still miss Maine Road.
Was it the warm, slighly-off beer, the urinal troughs or the dodgy alleyways?
Anyway trouble with all those publications was that there came a time when we already knew everything in them days before, what with the internet
I was only a kid, so having a kick about at halftime behind the Kippax, seeing Curly Watts and the “give it to bloody Gordon” guy, the club allowing the bars to stay open after the match so me and my brother could watch the players warming down and just generally mess about in the Kippax. Watching the players train at the school next to the ground before the match. That shitty scoreboard with the clapping hands that I thought was out of this world when we first got it

We got involved with the Junior Blues pantos and they did them next to the ground behind the club shop so we were at Maine Road every other Saturday for the match and then every Sunday for rehearsals. Was a brilliant time.
