Went past Maine Road the other day on the 111 bus...nearly brought a tear to my eye all those houses going up
I miss the place more than I should do

The company I work for are installing the Kitchen at the school that has been built on part of the old site, and the Contracts manager assigned to it is a big blue, and he really hates going there, he says that he always leaves feeling totally emotionally drained because all he can think about is how it used to be around there, and what Maine Road used to look and sound like!
I personally try to avoid going down the park way nowadays, it just brings back far too many memories and then the realisation hits me that the ground isn't there anymore!!!
I remember the day we left, after the game I had a bit of a wander from the North Stand to the Main Stand and as I turned to walk away down the stairs I started blubbing like a little bitch, I just couldn't control it...... was a horrible day.

Yeah i've still got my seat and that blue laminated card they gave you for the last game vs Southampton...at the time I remember thinking 'onwards and upwards' 'new stadium and new city' but we will NEVER recapture the atmosphere that was housed there at COMS and that saddens me

Doom Merchant is actually just as daft as I thought he would be though
I on the other hand am a very serious individual, that hasn't got a clue that there is only one team in Manchester

What a shame that you were unable to catch the view across the pitch as clearly as I'd hoped mate. At least you got to stand on Maine Road.
...and I haven't a clue what I'm talking about either.....hahahaha
