York away

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Help! I'm missing one. (Unless it's Oldham but I thought they had already been there and didn't go back)

You're not, I'm going mad - it's eight! It's been a long day :-/

It's a bloody good point - a lot think (me included) if Dickov hadn't popped up with a screamer we'd still be down there now - maybe not on that stat.

I missed York away that season. My dad went, and was ready for giving up his season ticket when he got back. A few years later he got me to make him a "Where were you when we were shit? - York Away, 19th December,1998" sticker for his car. I think he still has it somewhere.

I'm sorry but I'm new to it all , just exactly what is that league table? Is it for our reserves at the time? In the same league as Lincoln city and Macclesfield Town? Nope you got me on this one.

Found my ticket stub from this game when I was home a few months ago. Ironically, being one of the hundreds of thousands of blues who were actually there, I remember next to nothing about the day or the game.

I remember more about the Wrexham game, that was a top day out.

WREXHAM was a proper 'Black Humour'piss up day. The fact that so many turned up after YORK was testimony to what CITY fans were all about back then. A badge of honour.

We got there early & there were blues everywhere. We got on the outside open balcony in that pub next to the ground. Fcuking freezing.

We only lost twice twixt then & end of season,including agin Wycombe who doubled us.

'Great' days.

18 years ago today.

The bottom 3 beat us that season ..... #TypicalCity

PS I was at York !!

Yes those days were fun travelling up and down the country. When you just had to queue up to get your ticket for the away games, even some were cash at the gate. ! game stands out think it may have been Swindon Town away when we had nearly 3/4 of the ground full with City fans, cheering the team on. Alas can't be done nowadays.

Nine of those clubs subsequent sent to play in the Premier League, which surprised me a little.

A couple of other surprises were: 47 clubs have played in the PL and 13 teams have been relegated and never been promoted back.
