Yes I remember doing it the first season I went to City in 73/74. Everyone knew it was going to happen so I assumed it was the same every year. The fences went up the next year and like you say the fun had to stop.Does anyone else remember the regular end of season pitch invasions around the mid seventies onwards.
Every year the warnings from the club would become more strident and number of police and stewards would increase but we still got on.
Eventually we had to leave the Kippax 5 minutes early sneak back in the North stand and by pass the police that way.
Then fences arrived and the fun had to stop.

I remember running on the pitch with loads of other kids at the end of the first game I went to in December 73. We were in the North Stand and an older mate said to get to front and be ready to run. When the final whistle went we all legged it on to congratulate the players. I ran straight into a bg fat copper who chucked me into the Main Stand. I had to walk home on my own
In terms of ticket prices, atmosphere and safe standing; we, and every set of fans in the country, should never stop complaining. Never!I do know that this forum is hardly representative of the vast majority of match going City fans - that much I do know.
Some of the negativity, conspiracy theories and downright fucking kill joys on here work very hard to take the fun out of everything. They always have a bundle of reasons NOT to do something rather than one good reason to do anything. You can't leave early, the security checks are a joke, the tickets prices are astronomical. The food is total rip off. The ticket
office is the biggest joke since Tommy Cooper, All of the media are out to get us and do us down. The car parking is a nightmare The atmosphere is shit. The club shop is a total rip off. The Champions League is corrupt (which it is to be honest!) SKY are bunch of cnuts, talkShite hates us, The PFA vote is rigged so is the Manager of the Season vote.... I could go on and on and on and on.
FFS enjoy things for what they are. We have the best team and Manager in the history of the club and we are playing football that is from a different planet. But no. Lets find the negative. Lets find them even if they not there - we can pretend they are then we can all come on here and moan like fuck! Give it a fucking rest.
Plus 1 .Well said that man
I cannot believe some of the moaning c**ts on here, why go to games, you miserable twats?
I got on from 115, it was good-natured and a fkn good laugh, piss off with your anti-fun, depressive posts.
I enjoyed it, got a few photos from on the pitch, sent a few to mates that support other clubs and every single one of them replied saying it looked great and they wished it was them.
