New Years Day 2001
Lost 1-3. 1200 of us made the trip up.
Had little idea I'd be back there three and a half weeks later for the cup game.
I didn't go to the game the following season but I did have a tenner on 1-0 Defoe at 110/1. Still remains my biggest return on a single bet.
Attended the 0-6 and haven't been there since... until Sunday.

Have been three times:
1-7
1-0
0-6
So, on aggregate, not great.

The League Cup game when Mark Ward had a goal disallowed from an indirect free kick despite Bailey getting a touch on it.
Those were the days when you didn't need to buy tickets weeks in advance so went up to the ticket office and asked for three seats in the West Ham end. After the bloke in the pretending to be deaf and having to ask about 4 times getting progressively louder we walked away with the tickets and found that they were above the Stretford End. Had to sell them on the streets to 3 Mancs and then go back and buy them for our end.

The Boogers game. Officially no West Ham in there. Certainly didn't see any others that night.
When we equalised my mate (a Red) who was on the other side of the ground said I was the only person who jumped up. Bloke next to him said "there's one of the twats!".

Only something like 34-35k in there. They were developing the main stand.
Same at Maine Road one year when they were knocking down the Kippax, mind you I bumped into a few regular faces in the main stand there.
Had to buy a bleeding Man City membership, still got it somewhere.

Both Di Canio and Tevez games. Also the 6-0 mind you.
Was also at a 3-1 loss on New Years Day which I think might have been a few weeks before the Di Canio game (?).
Also did both midweek games under Allardyce. Both 1-0 defeats league and cup replay and both times we conceded in the first minute.
I'm going on Sunday with a bloke who's never seen us score there and possibly one who's never seen us win away. I'm hoping he doesn't find a ticket.

got the club coaches for that 6-0, fun that :/
also did the 3-1 a couple of seasons ago when carlton actually scored a 1on1 like you might expect a striker to, and the 0-0 earlier this season,
my results have been getting gradually better :D

That 0-6 game - the theatre of dreams turned out to be a nightmare on Elm Street.

Wasn't CANTONA'S last-ever game before retiring against us at the end of 96/97?
0-3 loss, I think. Our players were already away on their holiday (in their minds). Not sure we even mustered a shot at goal.
DEANO scored a brilliant overhead kick goal Vs them as well. Can't remember the season. 07/08? Lost 1-4, I think.

Lost 2-0, FA Cup 3rd round I think, Steve Coppell got one of their goals, penned in at the end by the OB, kicked off in the ground down the side at 2 of the exits at the same time.

Drinknig heavily with my old next door neighbour (Chelsea fan) at the Hersham Working Mans Club the Sunday afternoon of the Paulo / Bartez 1-0.
Place was full of Chelsea (they were the second game v Gillingham that afternoon IIRC) but I had license to be as loud and obnoxious as possible to piss off the "Club cunt" who was mad Man U.
Good fun
Was at the 6-0 a few years later.
No fun at all.

Is that the one next to the Royal George pub, Sarge? Half a mile down the road from me that is.

Getting a tram always seems weird, no matter how many times you do it. My overriding memory of playing there is always the amount of litter on the streets as you walk away from Old Trafford. Like walking through a tip.

Ha! They're my locals. Bricklayers by far the better pub, but at £4.60 a pint they're taking the piss.
I was in a boozer in St Margaret's for that Di Canio game. My scouse supporting mate was getting the hump with me because I was getting so stressed as they were peppering our goal, I even tried to walk out ten minutes before the end as I just couldn't watch any more, but he dragged me back. Can still see Dailly desperately throwing himself around the six yard box now.
