Quote Conroy="Conroy"I haven't a clue but it obviously bears no significance whatsoever to what happened that day when it was safer to let the Utd fans outside enjoy the day rather than them try to get through the exit gates and possibly cause an incident (you brought it up so I presumed it would be similar to that - then again maybe it was just another dig at Latics/the stadium/dave whelan etc etc) or indeed why the pitch is f*cked which is what this thread is about. If I do decide to know what happened at Hampden then i'll look into it (having just tried to on google I found nothing so still don't know.
Quite correct as the groundsman himself has stated on numerous occasions'"
im not digging at latics.......but ive got my facts muddled as usual.
wasnt hampden, it was Ibrox.
celtic - rangers
celtic opened scoring in 89th minute.......many rangers fans began to leave, then rangers equalised in stoppage time.
the leaving fans then turned round to get back in , why some were then coming out,
66 people died.
its the passing of fans on a stairway that led to my initial post.
2nd jan 1971.
google in latics records and see if im right that i was at city watching non league latics in 3rd round of cup.
