Even with all the success and amazing football we are able to witness today, there is absolutely nothing like reminiscing and being able to look back on harder times and in particular what we have gone through as custodians and supporters of this great club.
My memories of city especially growing up as a teen through the 70’s is just so so special. Many on here may know me dad Vinny in his blue inva noddy three wheeler car going into the Platt Lane via the sliding door entrance on a match day with me and about another 3 kids or adults hidden under a blanket or coat, whom he had taken to the game in a vehicle only allowed to have the driver in!
In the late 60’s early 70’s he could park the noddy on pitch side and we used to sit in the noddy watching the match, with the ball occasionally hitting the invacar. Me dad took many kids off the streets to the game and they became lifelong blues, imagine him doing that now he’d be nicked for kidnapping! So many memories of me and me dad going to games, he passed in 2002, but he was with me at 93.20 in spirit and we all lived for that moment especially, but our making as blues had been kindled in us years before through those times mentioned here. Check out the photo below that shows the noddys next to the pitch!
