May appeal to fans of a certain age who remember highly charged games between the Blades and Bantams in 80's.

Forum members of a certain age will remember this exact post from a couple of years ago

Taking a wild guess here, but I'm guessing thousands will have travelled to Sheffield and taken the ground whilst in the return fixtures the Blades will have run all the way down Manningham Lane in fear of their lives?

That's because if you stood still in Bradford in the 80s you were fair game/meat to end up in one of those curries.

Bradford always reminds of a game there a few years back (Boxing day maybe? My memory isn't so good), anyway we were in this pub close to the ground and got talking to these 2 'lads' who turned out to be Leeds fans, anyway conversation was short and off we went to the game. We were in the lower tier, which was blatantly 'oversubscribed' with stewards trying to get people to sit it seats instead of standing in the aisles, unfortunately there weren't enough seats and Blades were also located in the stand to the side......
Anway, there's this 'commotion' on their kop, leading to arrests of what turns out to be these 2 'lads' from Leeds!!!

Chuckle chuckle. We always seemed to play Bratfud City away on Boxing Day in those days. Always seemed to win 2-1. But then I am an old *art

Ah, Manningham Lane. So glad I went to Bratfut uni.

Tumblers, eh?

Wonder if it mentions this day?

One minute you're a mascot in a crucial play-off fixture then next you're featured fronting up the OB in a Hoolie documentary. Where will it all end Lesmond, where will it all end?

I remember it all kicking off in the station at Bradford and Dolly Skilbeck from Emmerdale was stood watching ,she was quite fit so most paid more attention to her.

I just remember the open away end , now the home end , being a death trap of broken cheap gravel concrete and bent crash barriers
and one giving way when we went 2-1 up

Boxing day 1996 maybe when Dougie Hodgson scored..he'd said if he ever scored he'd be seen having a wank on the half wayline.
