I recall the Peterborough tickets had no stub on so were being wrapped round a stone and lobbed back over the wall for those without tickets, I do recall it being very cosy in the away end that day. The Semi final needs little saying all who went will know what that day was like.
As for that replay, I was very fortunate that someone sorted a ticket out for that and my grandad and dad sorted the coach and tickets cost and a bit of spends as I had just left school and had spent the meagre earnings of various odd jobs on the Saturday trip and was thus skint and gutted that I thought I would,nt get to see that cup run through.
Sadly that proved to be my only and last opportunity to see us win something as we were shite all the time I went. I am delighted that there are those from that era who have been rewarded for their loyalty and have gone back to Wembley and excorcised the ghosts of bloody Ricky Villa...and I can assure you that on those occasions even just once It would have been wonderful to be there, and whilst I applaud your loyalty and have no problem at all with you having now a long awaited and richly deserved time of plenty, you might well consider that not everyone is as fortunate to have been able to do it. So maybe a little less of a superior attitude than suggested in your first response might be appropriate
Interesting you mention Huddersfield for atmosphere, given their pricing they have virtually assured themselves of keeping the support they had "when they were shit" and getting the local working class fans in the place. There used to always be a good atmophere to be had in Yorkshire games, I recall Barnsley with 40k in the place was an experience when they beat us 1-0 and of course a trip to Leeds was almost always atmospheric and usually quite exciting in a scary kind of way. So you dont surprise me at all. Infact given that you clearly have followed City for donkeys years home and away I am surprised you had nothing more to offer in the discussion than simply dismissing my opinions ending with a sarcastic well done.....I am sure had the roles been reversed you would have told me to piss off.
Oh and for clarity I was,nt at York away but was at the Shay and Gay Meadow, all a very long time ago so perhaps in your opinion I should no longer have the audacity to have an opinion on all things Manchester City. Anyway no hard feelings and should you require any assistance getting off that horse I have a good mate who has a set of those stairs they used to use for disembarking from Jumbo jets, and it will save you troubling the fire brigade.
