8-)I'm writing a book on United and City and would love to hear from members who supported either club from the mid 1950s to mid 1970s.
Just memories of any game or player to help me portray what Manchester football was all about - particularly the rivalry between the Reds and the Blues.
Up to now I've relied on my own memory and scrapbooks. I first went to Old Trafford in 1956 and saw United draw with Cardiff City.
I can't offer payment but I promise to credit anyone who helps. (I write for fun nowadays and as an excuse to get out of the gardening).
Thanks, Colin.

Some years ago the Manchester Evening News used to print a photo of the crowd and circle three people at random and give them free tickets for a home game,well in them days me and my mate used to go to Maine road one week and Old Trafford the next week(he was a blue and i was a red)and we went to see City play United and they circled ME in the crowd !!!! well i rushed down to Withy Grove to collect my prize and they gave me tickets to see the next game at Maine Road !! i remember it clearly because City got beat by Southampton who had Terry Payne on the wing.I would love to see that picture again.

Hi Tony, Manchester Evening News has archives somewhere in Deansgate where you can get photos. As long as you can roughly remember the date they will be able to find it for you. You can contact the M.E.N. online. Let us know how you get on please. It would be great to see that photo too.

For what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world yet suffers the loss of his own soul.

benji: Hi Jack sorry to see the posts are still scarce and sorry I havn't dropped in more often. United are not giving you any joy either. I suppose you saw the Liverpool thriller what an embarrasment I hope they can pick themselves up for the Spurs game on Sat Oct 28, 2021 19:40:01 GMT -1

jackaitch: Good morning Benji so happy to see a posting ( I still check every morning( yes it was a disgusting exebition last Sat Liverpoool All the yellow cards did not help and Ronaldo what can I say??? TV covered it too for all the worlld to see Oct 29, 2021 10:35:57 GMT -1

benji: Hi Jack nice to hear you have a look at at my post and give me your opinion! Do you think Ronaldo is good for United or is he the trouble. Pogba is the problem i think. I hope Ole can turn thing round dont you. Oct 29, 2021 19:56:51 GMT -1

jackaitch: I have never thought much of Pogba....mainly because he is from France...they do not develope quality players of the game.I do believe he is a troublemaker in the dressing room...Will find out more later today with Spurs Oct 30, 2021 10:24:10 GMT -1

jackaitch: Another of those weekends without a game on TV.....makes life miserable....at least for me Nov 14, 2021 11:11:21 GMT -1

benji: United used have a bit of fire but it seems to have gone out. Who is going to reignite it Jack? Nov 21, 2021 21:27:34 GMT -1

jackaitch: Personnaly I am thinking Michael Carrick will do the same kind of managing & coaching as the Ole....He has been with Utd all his football life Nov 23, 2021 12:53:59 GMT -1

jackaitch: Carrick cannot win them all without winning the first one ,,,,,so he did.....Well done Nov 24, 2021 11:09:31 GMT -1

benji: Chelsea will be the real test! Nov 24, 2021 21:02:31 GMT -1

jackaitch: Would not surprise me if they did the same as the Spurs a few weeks ago.It see,s as though that happened a few times in Premier League Nov 25, 2021 13:07:38 GMT -1

jackaitch: See,s....take the coma out replace with letter M for seem,.............on last posting Nov 25, 2021 13:09:34 GMT -1

Nov 26, 2021 20:43:09 GMT -1

jackaitch: These people at the top of United must know more than the ordinary man.At least Pochi has a record with Spurs .I have never liked germans in sports Wenger,Becker,Langer and Klopp (who never looks clean)Remember when they were called" squareheads" Nov 27, 2021 11:44:03 GMT -1

jackaitch: Carrick has unbeaten record as manager...He should have been given a longer term to show his abilty to lead the team...Best of luck Michael Dec 3, 2021 1:36:34 GMT -1

Alan: Do you think Manchester United will finish in the top four? Feb 28, 2022 13:31:47 GMT -1

jackaitch: they will have to get on their bikes to do so.It seems their play is good enough but lacks the finish.somebody has to find the net Mar 1, 2022 10:44:19 GMT -1

benji: It is going to be a long time before you see United great again Jack. They promised a lot but didnt deliver. There will have to be a clearout! May 24, 2022 19:29:03 GMT -1
