The original negatives have recently been scanned as part of the digitisation of our archives.

So pleasing.
I never felt more like singing the Blues.
Fans make their way to the ground as kick-off approaches.
As we approach the first 2014 Manchester Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, we thought we would upload some images of previous game from the archives of our Force Museum.
The 1981 games both took place at Manchester City’s Maine Road. The first match took place on the 21st of February and a Greater Manchester Police photographer went along to record the event for the Force’s newspaper Brief.
The year marked the 100th anniversary of the first time the two sides met.
The first game took place on 12th November 1881 when West Gorton (St Mark’s) - who later became Manchester City, took on Newton Heath LYR – the forerunners of Manchester United.
The fixture is always a major talking point among Manchester football fans and draws major crowds.
We hope you enjoy this look back to the football of over 30 years ago.

All eyes were on Manchester yesterday for the much-anticipated derby match between Manchester City and Manchester United.
The match, which was unsurprisingly a sell-out, was watched by around 47,000 fans at the Etihad Stadium. Thousands more watched from screens in pubs in the city centre and surrounding towns and millions more watched from their homes.
There were no serious incidents of disorder and no reports of any trouble taking place in other areas in Greater Manchester in relation to the derby.
Thirty-one people were arrested in the city centre and at or near the football ground, for mainly minor drink-related and public order offences.
Anyone found with alcohol on the streets within the alcohol exclusion zone, stretching from the city centre to the stadium, had it confiscated. In addition, anyone who arrived at the stadium under the influence of excess alcohol was refused entry.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare, commander for the derby policing operation said: ‘With so much resting on the game, this derby was always going to be an exciting match with emotions running high.
‘Thousands of people were out in the city and towns across Greater Manchester last night to soak up the atmosphere and I must praise the behaviour of the supporters from both sides. Their conduct was exemplary and they enjoyed this fixture in the true spirit of the game.
‘We had a lot of extra officers working throughout the day, supported by partner agencies, to ensure this match was an enjoyable experience for all football fans and I am pleased to say there were only a relatively small number of arrests.
‘Officers were out on the streets speaking with fans and joining in the atmosphere, while at the same time looking out for any potential troublemakers who were looking to spoil the evening for the vast majority. This helped set the tone for the day.
‘Anyone who was arrested last night can be assured that we will clamp down hard on them. We work closely with both Manchester United and Manchester City, who are supportive of that fact that anyone arrested in connection with causing trouble at the derby runs the risk of being banned from entering their respective club again in the future.
‘Last night the city of Manchester was remembered for all the right reasons and we can all celebrate the fact that the Premier League title is coming to Manchester.’

The convoy departs for the stadium.
All eyes were on Manchester yesterday for the much-anticipated derby match between Manchester City and Manchester United.
The match, which was unsurprisingly a sell-out, was watched by around 47,000 fans at the Etihad Stadium. Thousands more watched from screens in pubs in the city centre and surrounding towns and millions more watched from their homes.
There were no serious incidents of disorder and no reports of any trouble taking place in other areas in Greater Manchester in relation to the derby.
Thirty-one people were arrested in the city centre and at or near the football ground, for mainly minor drink-related and public order offences.
Anyone found with alcohol on the streets within the alcohol exclusion zone, stretching from the city centre to the stadium, had it confiscated. In addition, anyone who arrived at the stadium under the influence of excess alcohol was refused entry.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare, commander for the derby policing operation said: ‘With so much resting on the game, this derby was always going to be an exciting match with emotions running high.
‘Thousands of people were out in the city and towns across Greater Manchester last night to soak up the atmosphere and I must praise the behaviour of the supporters from both sides. Their conduct was exemplary and they enjoyed this fixture in the true spirit of the game.
‘We had a lot of extra officers working throughout the day, supported by partner agencies, to ensure this match was an enjoyable experience for all football fans and I am pleased to say there were only a relatively small number of arrests.
‘Officers were out on the streets speaking with fans and joining in the atmosphere, while at the same time looking out for any potential troublemakers who were looking to spoil the evening for the vast majority. This helped set the tone for the day.
‘Anyone who was arrested last night can be assured that we will clamp down hard on them. We work closely with both Manchester United and Manchester City, who are supportive of that fact that anyone arrested in connection with causing trouble at the derby runs the risk of being banned from entering their respective club again in the future.
‘Last night the city of Manchester was remembered for all the right reasons and we can all celebrate the fact that the Premier League title is coming to Manchester.’

As we approach the first 2014 Manchester Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, we thought we would upload some images of previous game from the archives of our Force Museum.
The 1981 games both took place at Manchester City’s Maine Road. The first match took place on the 21st of February and a Greater Manchester Police photographer went along to record the event for the Force’s newspaper Brief.
The year marked the 100th anniversary of the first time the two sides met.
The first game took place on 12th November 1881 when West Gorton (St Mark’s) - who later became Manchester City, took on Newton Heath LYR – the forerunners of Manchester United.
The fixture is always a major talking point among Manchester football fans and draws major crowds.
We hope you enjoy this look back to the football of over 30 years ago.
From the collection of the Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archive.
