Roll Call: Old Trafford 15 Years Ago Today

[CHAPPERS]

YEAH! O'Reilly love us doing spastic faces out of the car window at him.

 

[Knotty]

I was lucky enough to be in a hospitality area on a table with my son and a handful of other Albion supporters.

Contrary what some might want to hear, the Man U supporters in the same area could not have been more friendly. A couple of them insisted on taking my son, who was 7 then, onto the pitch and took a photo of him with Bryan Robson and sent the photos on a few days later. They also took him to the front of the queue for autographs when Cantona (who had just signed) came into the room.
They are not all scum...

Should definitely have been a panalty when Andy Kennedy was brought down.

Funny how the memory plays tricks. I recall the demolished Stretford End and Ryan Giggs' goal, but could have sworn that we sat down that day. Did we have a terrace and a large seating area?

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

I was there but strangely remember absolutely nothing about it at all!

 

[Caveman]

If you all ask nicely and send me some money, drugs & women, i'll post the vids on youtube.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

I was 5 - didnt go!!

 

[eastlondonseagull]

I was there and I still blame myself for their goal. I shouted out, "You'll never beat the Beeney!" top whack, and thud, the ball was in the back of the net. I got properly rounded on by some Albion fans around me

Terrace behind the goal.

[Arthur]

Not me. I am proud to say that I was enjoying the company of a female thatday. We were nude and touching each other and everything.

I've told you before..............your mum doesn't count!

I was there, we had terrace and some seats behind it

 

[beardy gull]

Terrace behind the goal.

.

...and a seating area. I was definately sitting.

 

[Scotty Mac]

now i DEFINATELY remember sitting down

 

[Storer68]

I was there. Definitely sittig down. I don't think we had a terracing because of the redevelopemnt of the Stretford End. - I think all terracing was ManUre only. Ooohh stripey shorts in Manchester......

nothing like playing up to our reputation.


I seem to recall that Andy (Mad Dog) Kennedy hit the bar when it was still 0-0. At our end too

 

[Caveman]

Here is the home game against Utd, check out the shorts!

[westy]

yep, i was there with my bro and old man. If Andy Kennedy hadn’t made such a meal of that challenge he may have got a penalty out of it.. oh hang, no, it was at Old Trafford wasn’t it!

 

[Marc]

cor yeah I remember that, especially that classic rebound chant at their fans:

them: United

us: SHIT!

them: United

us: SHIT!

them: United

us: SHIT!

them: United

us: SHIT!

that and they had to turn up the speakers to full WHACK pre-game to try and drown out our singing...wonderful!


I was in Terracing slightly to the left of the goal opposite the end that was a building site.

 

[pasty]

f*** me I was 19. *feels old*

Me too. Bloody hell.

Pah, I was 27 (and there)

Don't recall much of the day other than going ever so slightly mental at the "Youdontgetpenaltiesatoldtrafford" decision.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

I was there. Absolutely for certain standing up.

Didn't Nicky Bisset have a good chance at the other end as well? Headed one just wide?

 

[The Auditor]

Andy Kennedy SHOULD have had a penalty.

Penalty or goalkick ...and the cheating bastard in the black gives.....a corner !

 

[B.M.F]

I was there with Chez and panama Pat. Remember ripping into some people at the service station who said they supported Man U but had never even been to Old trafford. they did not like it much hehehe
