Not by date but by day........

 

Those filthy twats beat us 1-0 at Burnden and apparently their lot took over our fine town.....

 

Did our lot actually mob up that day and did they really have all the pubs in the town centre ?

Hoping to hear we put up a fine show in certain quarters.

 

The Cuckoo Boys wouldn't have let it happen........fishing rod time now guys....

Burnden paddock was relatively scum free but the bastards were everywhere , it was carnage & thanks for opening up old wounds

 

I blame the ticket office .

I was carried out of the Lever End on a stretcher that day, I will never ever forgive the bastards

Was this game from when Man U dropped a division?

For some reason I can't recall this match, but I remember the Wolves game at Burnden (1976?) very well, they tried (and failed) to take the Lever end at the end of the game.

it was and I'm pretty sure it was Steve Coppell's debut, Man City put them down with a Denis Law back healer

If theres a way to go thats one of the best ways. Well done fella, proud of you.

if you ever want to win a fiver in the pub, laws goal was irrelevant

 

united couldve won and would still have dropped

i read a Man Utd hoolie book a while ago and although they ran riot at most places that season, they played at Millwall on a midweek night and didn't take anything like the numbers they took to other matches and those that braved the Den generally  got battered.At Old Trafford, Millwall had the front to buy a block of tickets in the home stand but apparantly they were on the receiving end

Great story, though

Urban myth me thinks. Even if they had managed to go to OT and buy a block, they were hardly going to be on the receiving end from the type of fan who used to sit in stands back in 1974.

I'd think Millwall would have just gone on the Stretford end like they came in the Lever End year or 2 later they got thumped on the Lever End wouldn't fancy their chances in the Stretford End.

Thinking about it, it might have been one of the league games in the late 80s when Millwall went in the Main Stand.I definitely read about Millwall doing that in a Man Utd book or fanzine

I was in the Lever End that day, as a 15 year old, after taking about 1 hour and half to get to the ground after being run all over the place.

I will always remember the fact that large numbers of grown men were chasing teenagers. In the ground it went OK initially but gradually

got worse. Half way through the first half I said to my mate I would sort out what I owed him at half time, a copper turned and said you lot wont last 

till half time. Second half most people tried to get to the edges of the Lever and I eventually got into the Manny Road South. It was a horrible day.

The 1970's summed up in one sentence.
