Question 012
Eusebio - squad number 11 Started conversation Apr 24, 2001
In 1977, because of crowd trouble in their first leg European Cup Winner's Cup match with St Etienne, Manchester United were ordered to play their 'home' leg at least 300km from Old Trafford. Where was this match played?

Having just checked Man U's website 
, you appear to be correct Ormondroyd. Well played

Ormondroyd Posted Apr 24, 2001
Believe it or not, I actually went to the ManUre website to look for the answer, but then left in disgust after seeing that nauseating slogan "natural winners". My answer was a guess!
Honestly, how much more smug can ManUre get? Thank heavens for Bayern Munich!

Are you not patriotic when it comes to European matches then?

Ormondroyd Posted Apr 24, 2001
Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
And anyway, I'm a Bradford City supporter. It's bad enough getting relegated without L***s United ending up as European champions too!
VIVA VALENCIA!

Sorry ... it isn't clear from my question that it was the 'home' leg of the NEXT round which was affected, following disturbances in the tie with St Etienne. 
So, I'm afraid St Etienne is incorrect!

Well, according to ManUre's website it was held at Old Trafford agains Porto.
Was the order reversed or did their website get it wrong?

I was right first time round ... it was the 'home' leg against St Etienne which was moved ... but NOT to St Etienne!

I've just forced myself to have another look at the ManUre website and found the incredible-but-apparently-true answer... Plymouth!
