Could be right, would never have remembered without you saying it, but now something in back of my head saying your right. Pretty certain we lost 1 nil, wasn't really a memorable day, only the shit support (about 3k in all I think, for a top flight match, dodgy memory thou) and shitty weather, remain in my head.
Cant remember it, but have read about it a few times. You and Man U the only teams to "take" our kop, although apparently they did a better job. Many others tried but got kicked off. Those 2 are the biggest away supports at Hillsborough (Man U over 20k). The biggest I can remember in my time (78 - now) were Newcastle 83/84 Keegan, Beardsley, Waddle etc about 14/15k in a 2nd division crowd of over 42k and somewhat bizarrely given they normally struggle to bring 2k Coventry in the cup QF 86/87 similar numbers (though I missed it due to work £26 YTS fxxk me). The best I have seen though were Rangers for a friendly other year. Newcastle best English fans I have seen at Hillsborough thou. Sure Villa had only 4k for big Rons return, didn't think bottom had re-opened after disaster, could be wrong though.
They had upper and lower plus half the crows nest so circa 7k
Feb 1989, lost one nil, was Sterlands last game IIRC and crowd was 4,384
United were animals back in the day. We had the bottom tier too for big rons return, I swear we did?? Rangers are the only team to take the holte end, they must of had 25k at ours for a friendly and were out of control .
In complete contrast they (Rangers) were fantastically behaved at Hillsborough, only got 6k tickets but sold em all and had plenty in our ends too even though it was midweek and our end was all ticket too. They never stopped singing were exceptionally friendly before, during and after match and made lots of new friends in Sheffield.
it was early 90s after you had won the league, so maybe 91-92 or more than likely it was 92-93. It definitely looked like you had less than 1k there but maybe I'm wrong. It's the only time I can remember Leeds bringing a small following to villa as you normally sell out or are close to selling out. When we used to come to you we usually only had the corner which if I remember could hold 1700 ish, although a couple of times we had behind the goal. It's not a ground we always took big numbers to on a regular basis, the biggest following we ever had up Leeds was in the cup in 87 I think when we had 6k behind goal and also a few scattered about in home ends but they kept quiet.
Agreed mate, unbelievable, was drinking with em in club on claywheels lane, both pre match and post match they were fantastic. But during the match was something else, never stopped for a second as you say watp.
one if the most least appealing away days in English football imo. And a tad overpriced.
Yes, times really started to change at Megsons last match in charge. The Derby that didn't matter, according to some of your fans. It does seem to go in cycles in though, just hope it doesn't this time and we can remain as Sheffield's top team. (We will always be the top club though) ;-)
