What is the daftest thing you've seen at a City match?

[Gone for a Burton]

Think you mean "Tiny" aka "The Galleon",Big unit he was.

Teddy Davis ?

 

[flook]

It's probably our defending in the last 10 minutes of games this season tbh

 

[Gone for a Burton]

1965/6.
Portsmouth away

Midnight Mad Coach from Ardwick Green. Aged 14.

3 blokes pissed up, run out of money and not told their wives they were going.

In Pompy straight too a 'bowling ally' for a good kip.

At the ground they cadge 1 entrance fee and form a three man 'pantomime horse thing'.

Head of the horse pays as the middle and rear end try not to be noticed.

In, out in, out until they eventually cleared the turnstile and in they trot.

One the funniest, typical City fan things i've ever seen. You had to be there.

0.2 City. Doyle & Pardoe.

Teddy Davis ?

Aye,that rings a bell.

 

[iceman]

The guy who used to wave a rubber chicken around his head in the Umbro Stand at Maine Road

4 rows in front of me, was bizarre

 

[Mr Pie]

Used to stand in the open corner of the Kippax as a kid and when we just kicked off the game a bloke behind, used to shout, "get a sub on" He did this very game!

Definitely wasn't Pep then.

 

[Pollock's Deft Backheader]

The guy who used to wave a rubber chicken around his head in the Umbro Stand at Maine Road

Was it rubber? I remember sitting behind him and I'm sure it was real.

 

[Kaini Industries]

I remember sitting in the corner between the main stand and the Platt lane, when Ali Bernarbia took a dislike to a tackle and did the full, extended edition, mexican roll off the pitch.

An unimpressed looking Stuart Pearce strolled over and said to him 'You've got hm sent off', Ali. You can get up now'.

Wasn't this against Wolves to get Lescott sent off?

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Was it rubber? I remember sitting behind him and I'm sure it was real.

Yes, it's been pointed out to me that it was real.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Aye,that rings a bell.

A real nice lad but a bloody handful.

In action out side Sjoke station he literally 'ran over' about 6/8 sjokies....knocked em over like ally pins.

Did he set up Mercer Celtic then become a scout for Pal Arce ?

Was it Kyle's cock?

From memory both of those things seem to ring bells.

 

[.db.]

Wasn't that the first televised Monday night game or something lol? It's a wonder it ever took off!

That was a home game against them the first MNF

 

[Witney Blue]

Here's one I was actually responsible for and not exactly that proud of :)
I threw a crutch at the ref v Huddersfield in the cup game, the funny thing was it missed by a whisker and he picked it up gave it to a copper and he brought it back to me !!!

Don’t know you but if it was at Leeds Road I was right behind you!!

 

[Witney Blue]

Boxing Day mid eighties at the old Stoke Ground. A good few thousand City fans all with inflatable bananas.
At half time iirc 2 city fans dressed as Laurel and Hardy run on the pitch with about 5 coppers trying to catch them.

Pretty sure a Stoke fan ran on the pitch at half time and burnt a banana only to be chased by Batman, Robin and ET. I went as a swimmer - mask, snorkel, armbands, shorts and flippers

 

[Karl8]

Used to see Frank Sidebottom, complete with papermache head hanging around on the Kippax car park occasionally..Also Jamie Pollocks own goal was really quite bizarre

 

[NPBlue]

Wasn't this against Wolves to get Lescott sent off?

I don't remember who we were playing, but I had a good chuckle at his obvious disdain.

 

[citymad]

My first sighting of Frankinstein at St Andrews. Ok not the daftest but it was funny at the time.
Would loved to have witnessed the pissed up blues in fancy dress at Stoke. That must’ve been a good craic!

Superb stuff. That’s when watching City was more than just the game itself. Full of nut jobs having a good day out!
