@salfordphlatts ha yeah think that may have been 90 or 91..

@TraMufc I remember being impressed with Derby late 80's. I Use to pay into United Road and looking to my left and they'd brought 1000's. I think it was the game Bruce got sent off for smashing Saunders.

Following on from the ‘escort’ post and with Coventry getting promoted, what’s your memory of which teams used to regularly sell out league games at OT in the 80s? There weren’t many, this is how I remember it, I’ve included a few that only came once or twice & that I definitely remember.. probably a few obvious ones I’ve forgotten too. You might remember is differently, time can play tricks..🤔 🔲Biggest: Newcastle (‘84?) ✅Scoreboard overflowing: Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Villa, city, Everton, Sunderland, Boro ☑️Decent but not always full: Spurs, West Ham, Sheff Wed, Sheff Utd, Forest, Derby 🚕Came in a Taxi: Luton, Charlton, Wimbledon, Coventry, Palace, Southampton, Norwich, Ipswich 🏆Best: Chelsea. Overall I’d say they consistently had the best away support at OT in the 80s to, just my memory but they were always loud & well up for it

@johnny_bailey yeah 80s, after that they all suddenly remembered they were loyal fans

@TraMufc Liverpool,city and Everton, the rest was dependent on how well they were doing, best from London was Chelsea. If it's 80s only.

@BoozerArab oooh edgy

Going to your allocated seat away in Europe 😂😂😂😂😂

@DavidEvs1 ah there you go, this was about league attendances in the 80s😉

@TraMufc It was the cup. The only time Leeds got K was youth cup iirc

@DavidEvs1 that would have been the cup game probably, they never had K in the league unless it was during the rebuild maybe but don't remember anyone getting K except Leeds once 🤔

@TraMufc Remember city getting all of K stand in the early 90’s, they filled it. Don’t remember much about it other than Lee Sharpe scored the winner

@mjhdestroy Leicester - another team who only filled a couple of pens

@TraMufc Chelsea were impressive every time they came to OT. I remember Arsenal only filling a couple of pens same as Villa, Forest etc and Leicester Baby Squad walking around in other teams ski hats. Great days

@mjhdestroy Funny how I remember Arsenal & Villa as both selling out, could be that I'm remembering the few times they did

@Beeffy1999 '84, first game of the season I think

@TraMufc Newcastle had a big away following when we beat them 5 -0 at old Trafford

@johnwillia12104 @ChrisHaymes1 Millwall was week before 5-1 iirc, think we put 5 past them🤷‍♂️. Was very lively in A-stand 😎

@TraMufc @ChrisHaymes1 in the 80s biggest away turnouts were cup everton 83 and forest 89 - newcastle brought a in 84 as newly promoted and got malletted 5-0 - millwall brought 2-3k for a punchup in early 89 - in the 70s cant remember anyone bringing many tho scoreboard was united in those days as well

@Sparky9908 one of the rare occasions I was in the paddock near the south stand, think half our team had been on the piss until the early hours & it showed

@TraMufc Not the 80s but NYD 92, when QPR battered us. They came in a bubble car (tiny bit of South stand, top left) No doubt at least 10,000 claim they were there 😂

@Stevenj83012034 I know mate, in a way it showed many up more in the 80s when they were getting police escorts

@TraMufc Go back to the 70s, especially the early years and hardly any of those came to old Trafford en masse.

@ronpickering Yeah you're right tbh, I think they do the 'big day out' - first/last game of season, cup ties whatever. Other than that pretty average

@TraMufc Overall for a supposed hotbed of passionate football support the NE clubs regularly had disappointing turnouts

and yeah Stoke, Wolves, WBA, QPR all very poor. Forest were better than these but still poor considering the distance (2/3 scoreboard?). Makes me laugh when you see these same fanbases now selling out & giving it the 'loyalest supporters in the whole wide world' bollocks. Give it a rest ffs.

I don't ever remember Everton briniging as many as Liverpool mate excpt for Cup ties of course. I remember them in 85(?) filling the scoreboard but Liverpool had the extra section by Utd Rd. Like I said though, everyone has different memories - Arsenal for example I always remember bringing good numbers wheras Spurs were 3/4 full

@getinowherefast @occer1 West Ham were poor in the league considering their rep at the time

@occer1 @TraMufc Most hardly brought any. Only really scousers, North east clubs. Arsenal and Spurs were poor. West Ham and Chelsea brought a few

Who else misses the days when away fans used to arrive & leave in an escort? Football’s so incredibly boring now in comparison 😢🚨

@ronpickering yeah I remember Boro's last visit in the 80s, they took the whole end & had lads scattered around the ground too including K, could have been the exception tbf

@TraMufc Unless my memory is failing me Sunderland and Boro were always 2 pens at most, agree though Chelsea all things considered were far and away the best....full scoreboard on Wednesday night in the "Kerry Dixon match" being a great example

@Redevils20Times forgot Leeds🤦‍♂️

@TraMufc Leeds one of the biggest. I remember early/ mid 80’s Villa brought very few. With the likes of Coventry/Norwich we mockingly cheered and clapped when they started piling into one or two pens.

@Duncan_65 league games only*😉

@TraMufc I’d put Arsenal Villa Boro Sunderland into the decent but not always full category. Everton brought big number in the mid 80s and also in a League Cup tie in 76 (0-3)
