Yea just turn your brightness all the way upQuick question, and probably a silly one, but do the scanners at the turnstiles pick up barcode images on your phone? In other words, can I get in using my phone without having to print the ticket out?

Unrelated slightly, but I remember on Match of the Day that night them saying that a rumour went around Maine Road that we were losing 3-0 to Leeds, which the Man City players picked up on. Des Lynam reckoned there was a Cov fan in the crowd that started the rumourThe Leeds trouble was last game of the season just before Euro 96. We stayed up on goal difference with Saints and Man City went down. City fans ran on the pitch to celebrate staying up and Leeds decided to have a go. Police horses were used to separate the groups. I expected the paper the day after to have pictures of it but believe it was suppressed due to England hosting the European Championships a few weeks later. Didn’t want any bad press about English hooligans.

That was the 3-3 gameThere was definitely a game vs Leeds where loads of our lot quickly ran off the pitch
Rod WallaceI'm thinking of a different one then. This was in the 90s.
I think Wallace left City several years before I was born
Man United maybeI remember being in the brewer & baker as well. I’d meet my dad there because I lived 2 minutes away. A load of away fans piled in and knocked the first bloke they saw out clean. By the pool table. I was supposed to be next (to play pool) not get knocked out.
I was going to say it was Millwall but looking at the historic fixtures I don’t think it was. Possibly West Ham.
Police horses on the pitch the lot , cov fans never ran at all ,they all ran over to Leeds fans
I can't believe I'm going to admit this , but I cried as I was scaredhad never seen that before that day.. was 11
Print it out I’m sure it says in the email this is not your ticketQuick question, and probably a silly one, but do the scanners at the turnstiles pick up barcode images on your phone? In other words, can I get in using my phone without having to print the ticket out?
Definitely 1 of 3 between Man Utd. West Ham or spurs. They were always up for itMan United maybe
First bit I saw was in the queue for a ticket when I was about 13 at hr. I think it was Sheffield United, one of their fans just came over and whacked a bloke in the queue and walked off.Police horses on the pitch the lot , cov fans never ran at all ,they all ran over to Leeds fans

'An advertising campaign encouraged supporters to turn up dressed as clowns' - classic.
Stuart Linnell on comms as well. Legend.
I'm on that clipping on the pitch as a sprightly 24 year old, my old man went mad said I'd disgraced the street he lived in, he's calmed down now but still mentions itIt was on the front of the telegraph as my mate has got the clipping
Was there and can't say I remember any trouble. Our first time wearing the kit that we'd go on to be relegated in the following season I think.Does anyone remember trouble at Oggy's last game against Sheffield Wednesday?
I was speaking to my Brother about it who I remember being there with, and he swears blind there wasn't any trouble.
I think we were winning 4-1, and that relegated Wednesday, and some of their fans got tired of the going down taunts and jumped the fence at the back of the Sky Blue Stand.
The trouble I'm thinking of must've been a different game then.Was there and can't say I remember any trouble. Our first time wearing the kit that we'd go on to be relegated in the following season I think.

Definitely trouble in the Sky Blue stand, it was during the time of the Miner's strike, I thought we won 5-0Does anyone remember trouble at Oggy's last game against Sheffield Wednesday?

Oggys last game was end of 1999/2000 season wasn't it? Well after the miners strikeDefinitely trouble in the Sky Blue stand, it was during the time of the Miner's strike, I thought we won 5-0
Funny really, the WM police are terrified of even the relatively small crowds below the prem. What are they going to do when the likes of United (who still have an away following full of lads or if not drinkers) turn up here if we get promotedThink it was Man Utd
What time will the players arriving sunday

I worked with the Ticketmaster system and the backend the club would be using for years and I can pretty much guarantee the sort of problems we're seeing aren't down to Ticketmaster, they're down to what is being entered on the clubs side.Not sure what other ticketing options there are, it probably does need to be outsourced but done properly.
To try and do it inhouse would probably cost a lot more. (Remember when it was on a server in Ryton on a virgin broadband line back in the day?? ha)

This is a different year. Leeds ran on when Jonathan Gould fucked it up in the last minute, loads of them in fancy dress. It was weird seeing coppers (in fancy dress) being chaser by actual coppers. Most of the Coventry ran on from the West Terrace and then quickly ran off. It was harder to get on from the East Terrace (where I was as it was heavily policed and there was still a reasonably sized fence). The bad last day vs Leeds was a few years later in 1996 when we drew 0-0 and things turned nasty on the pitch with fans fighting and police horses etcEnjoy the SCENES and LIMBS
That’s the game I mentioned, it would have been 1993, wouldn’t it?This is a different year. Leeds ran on when Jonathan Gould fucked it up in the last minute, loads of them in fancy dress.

Maybe the extra PL money allows for more stewarding and police to reduce the potential for issues. The PL aren't going to want to see trouble at games that would affect their TV revenue income, but at the same time not want there to be empty seat making the league look less popular.Well as was posted on here that Sunderland are having a 45k “sell out” in a 49k stadium, it demonstrates that it’s a problem only affecting lower divisions. As Sunderland’s record PL attendance was only about 300 below full capacity (so segregation must’ve been minuscule).
Meaning that Premier League money makes all the safety problems and concerns go away.

This has got to be a first. Has there ever been a game anywhere in the country where home fans have been segregated from other home fans. Its embarrassing.Block 13 will not be sold - stadium safety team requires it remains unsold.
