Albion fans on the pitch at Old Trafford

[PFJ]

Yep it really is what it says on the tin........I’ve been reading NSC for years and thought it was about time I dipped my toe in ,so by way of introduction here is an old photo I found from Nov 81 when we lost at Old Trafford 2-0. Of course it can’t be forgotten the next season we took 4 points off them and narrowly missed out on beating them in the FA Cup final. I did have loads more photos from that weekend , especially one of us in the Stretford End (empty of course)with the flag draped over one of their barriers.

Welcome! What's the story behind you getting on the pitch? Did you just walk in?!

 

[whitelion]

Looked pretty impressive even in those days!!!!

We stayed in Manchester fSaturday night and on driving home we drove past Old Trafford , so obviously it was to good a chance to miss , so we saw a door slightly open and sort of leaned against it a bit.
We went all over the place , but the best picture was in the old Stretford End terrace.

Is that you? was that bloke a complete nutter next to you on the coach?

God - 1981 seems like yesterday. That was a hell of a season. Great picks and very happy memories - thanks for that. You lot look like everyone I went to BHASVIC with - we must all have looked like that.

Well Hello, PM me.

Jerry was always a wheeze on away games as you had to but juicy fruit chewing gum and the yellow wrapper was a ded ringer for a tube ticket in the old days.

I was reminising on the way to Peterborough with some of younger ones about the various applications of a juicy fruit wrapper on the tube back in the day.
