One lasting memory was the fact that the touts prices for the tickets actually got less and less as you got nearer to the gate. I think we paid about £8 for ours (original sale price was about £13) but touts were wary that it'd be a flop!
One memory that does linger is the gate control staff had these huge steel bins next to the main gates and everything that looked at bit dodgy had to be binned before entry.
This bloke behind me was in full wannabe Manc attire complete with a brand new set of maracas (a la Bez), anyway this gate control bloke said he had to bin them or he wasn't getting in, oh the look on this lads face when he had to toss them in the skip..priceless!
