To be fair, my dad's in his late 50s now and has never been to Wembley. I wouldn't begrudge my old fella that. He hates Liverpool and has a soft spot for us so he'd be a blue for the day. He's not arsed like that, apparently it was normal for him as a lad to watch both Manchester teams.

I think that was common from old timers I've spoken to over the years. Particularly in the 60s and early 70s. And not just in Manc but London as well. I've met west Ham fans who watched Spurs regularly. And others.

A kinder gentler time.

Cheers

Eh?

As an old timer of that vintage I can tell you that it certainly wasn't like that in Eccles. If I had been told in the late 60s that one day I could take my daughter to a football match without having to watch out for trouble from opposing fans or the dibble I'd have not believed it.

Kindler gentler time? Go back another twenty years, mate.

Actually, I came on here to see if anyone knows when the club will start putting the tickets on sale - I'm hoping that I might have enough points for aforementioned child and self.

agree with this, you'd be looking at lads in there 80s now, and that's dependent on areas/class/upbringing. I've never known a blue that went to watch 'united aswell' but have known rags to do the reverse.

My dad is mid 60s and absolutely despises the rags. Slightly more than me. His neighbour is a rag and comes out with the ''i want city to do well too'' but I think that just depends on how into it you are. My memory of my grandad was that he hated the rags just as much. Thats what happens when you live in Urmston through the scum 'dominance'

My old lady is 69 and she despises the scum as much as CARL.

BTW seeing the title of this thread will never get old TICKETS TO WEMBLEY.

Blimey.

As soon as Liverpool, Sky and the rest of the media have found a suitable one.

I may have been having a nightmare but i'm sure one of the commentators in one of the semi's said the ref for the final is none other than Robert Madley.

Officials haven't been announced yet according to the Capital One cup website.

I'd sooner have Madley as the ref than Clattenberg when the dippers are involved. Seriously, I'm not going if he is given the job.

We have a new member who wonders if there are any board members going from around Plymouth

Not me but there is a supporters club somewhere in Devon I think. Also there's usually a few from Cornwall go up now and again but we ourselves are pretty independent so I dont have contacts.
