Fucking hell, I can still remember sheltering under the north stand roof next to the shit green netting in the kippax, we were second best until the first goal too.....37 years wow.

Seem to remember a couple of days later beating Plymouth in the Zenith? thing 6-2 where we only tried for about 60 mins, should have been 10 again.

I still remember that day so vividly. 37 years ago, fucking hell you're making me feel a right old bastard lol.

I was there. When City scored 10 .

 

[lancs blue]

I was a bit nervous when they pulled it back to 9-1 with Andy May's penalty.

Me too, but not at York away.

The way I am remembering the day, the penalty made it 1-1 after Neil McNab opener.

The only time I’ve ever pulled a sickie to attend a football match. Turned out to be a good call

My lad says he was there, Mrs was carrying him on the inside. It was her first trip to Maine Rd as well…..

Did the opposite took an overtime shift. Had a tea break at half time to catch with scores and saw it was 4 nil!

Great score, shit attendance.
Remember having banter outside at the back of the Kippax with the Huddersfield lads at half time. I'm sure we were 4-0 up at the time and the scruffy cnuts thought they'd come back in the 2nd half.
Set it up nicely for the cup tie over at theirs a few weeks later, naughty

 

[Whether or not]

37 years ! Christ, where did that go. That was two wives, two kids, three grandkids and countless addresses ago. Only one football team though. And the weather is the same.

What a day. Nowt much happening till the first. Macdonald had PTSD after the match.

Yes, his post-match interview on the highlights was hilarious - "we were playing offsides but we don't play offsides..."

Haha I know the line, my lads first game was the Villa 5-1 away win when Mrs Moon had just fallen preggers.

 

[Harvster]

Couldn't make the next match a few evening's later, but wasn't too bothered as it was bound to be after the Lord Mayor's Show an' all that
Think it was 6-2, Full Members, or other somewhat lesser dodgy cup comp?

No, it was 4-0 at HT, the pen left just enough time for Whitey to get the tenth on a breakaway.

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

The way I am remembering the day, the penalty made it 1-1 after Neil McNab opener.

No, definitely at 9 or 10. Andy May scored it and waved to the Kippax. Proper blue Andy. 37 years though. Can someone stop the clock. CTID

About 17,000 I seem to remember. Which was about standard. for a run of the mill home game of that time.

It would have to be a big game to break 20,000 and the less popular, midweek one’s especially were more likely in the 15,000 region.

Not many point whores knocking about back then.
