So somebody mentioned above, but I can't remember, pretty sure we didn't lose though, it was a very drab draw, with a very small crowd, and very few blues, spent most of the game sat on the terrace, as there was very little to get excited about.Was that Richard Edgehill’s debut? Remember watching us lose there 1-0 around that time (on tv) commentator waxing lyrical about him, think it might of been Ian Darke, probably the last reasonable comment he made about us
Didnt play wrexham in 87I went Wrexham 1987 thought a half decent following.
Pre season? 1986 mate?Didnt play wrexham in 87
No 10th August 1987Pre season? 1986 mate?
Seem to remember it was an awful match ending 0-0, and I got home to Timperley about half 3 in the morning. In work by 9 somehow, I was a lot younger then of course.So somebody mentioned above, but I can't remember, pretty sure we didn't lose though, it was a very drab draw, with a very small crowd, and very few blues, spent most of the game sat on the terrace, as there was very little to get excited about.
I heard that game was miserable, can you confirm ?Went to a midweek game probably early 90's v Wimbledon, late October I think (maybe early November), at Selhurst Park, there were only a couple of hundred there, I think it finished 0-0, or 1-1.
It was utterly miserable, I think it was my daughters first away game, I doubt she'll remember it fondly either, she was 4 or 5, it was bloody freezing, did I mention miserable ?

When City beat United 1-0 at Old Trafford in 1974, there was a massive pitch invasion. On the TV recording you can’t see any City fans in the ground. Did any City fans attend the game? Where were they stood?I heard that game was miserable, can you confirm ?

Was at both those games, the Swansea game was the first time I remember hearing "We never win at home..." sung, after the match. I think it may have been Joe Corrigan's last appearance for City?The season we went down in 1983, would have been March or April, we got leathered 4-0 at The Dell, with a decent following, but the following week we played Swansea away. Less than 200 there in the away end and another 4-0 tonking. It was the day our loyalty was tested and the resulting ''It's not funny anymore'' chant rang out.

Is Swales still in charge some numbers there mate “phew.”We brought under 7k and TNS around 3k, it is in the programme.
It's very impressive that you were there. I remember going to a game at Torquay in the early eighties. City drew 0-0 , I remember thinking what the fuck am I doing here on a Tuesday night.shakthar Donestk in Khariv. the club said there was 111 of us but there definitely wasnt, more like 70-80 and the majority were overseas blues
It might be the two large glasses of wine I have just drunk but for some reason that made me laugh. We all must have shared those sentiments at some point in our City supporting life, those of us of a certain vintage anyway.It's very impressive that you were there.

There was a midweek game v Wimbledon at Selhurst in September 92. We won 1-0 (White) and the crowd was 4,714.Think this might have been September’93. It was a Monday night game and we lost 1-0. About 8,000 there and yes not much more than a few hundred City.

First leg of a League Cup tie IIRC. Went on the special that night.It's very impressive that you were there. I remember going to a game at Torquay in the early eighties. City drew 0-0 , I remember thinking what the fuck am I doing here on a Tuesday night.
No it wasn't then I'm sure of that.Think this might have been September’93. It was a Monday night game and we lost 1-0. About 8,000 there and yes not much more than a few hundred City.
Right, here’s one that has to be the winner!
Two of us (yes, just two: yours truly and Andy Shaw, originally from Wythenshawe) travelled all the way to Warsaw for Kaz Deyna’s testimonial. September 1979. There were no other blues there.
I’ve promised Doctor Gary James a full account of an epic trip.
City lost 2-1, with Deyna playing one half for each team.
