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

[Gone for a Burton]

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

Characters with character !!

Fuck me weve had some fun and experiences and kept breweries going all over UK and Europe.

The Turks have never seen anything like it when we hit town....they loved us !!

4 days and the earliest i got to bed was 5.40 the latest 9.10 am !!

West Brom away 88/89 season.
Frankenstein v Godzilla and a kid being carried in a paddling pool. The game was a total irrelevance that night.

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!

I remember hearing that too.

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

It's amazing how many people remember the incident and still talk about...the Huddersfield crutch :)

It was crazy wasn’t it

Bastard beat me to it

Remember last match of a late 90s season, qpr fans in the North Stand, i was in the new seats in The Kippax, some of there lot were in fancy dress with one big guy stood up with his arms out wide at the front of them dressed as jesus, he conducted them with his arms up, then down, was funny, but City fans started up with " who the fuckin hell are you, who the fuckin hell are you" and the classic "Jesus Jesus get t' fuck"...brilliant in a shite season.

Was that the game where Keith Curle(?) couldn't stop a goal because he was blinded by the floodlights?

Keith Curle was a bit later than that but think this may have been Brian Gayle?

Yes it was Gayle

I'm a bit reluctant to talk about 'golden ages' but in a funny way, it was a golden age. You could have a laugh, get pissed, and the football was almost incidental. And in real terms, it cost fuck all compared to now. Those of us who were there were lucky to be the right age to enjoy it. You certainly won't see anything like it again.

What I can't seem to rationalise in my head, is how you could still find all your mates in standing terrace of 18,000 people. No phones, or owt like that.

Once saw a fox at the back of the new kippax stand and we weren't even playing Leicester

It was instinctive, back in the day you just knew where people were

Barnsley away in the league cup 1981 - for some reason a line of coppers marched in single file through us. One of them somehow got separated from the rest and ended up on his own looking very sheepish as he made his way down. His Sargent by now stood on the perimeter was not not amused with the Laurel & Hardy tune accompanying the poor sod.

We went to see Huddersfield v city in the cup, the year we beat them 10-1. We were sat in the main stand, we'd been for a pre match scoop,as you do,when the fella next to me ,who'd obviously had a couple more than we did , turned and said,"dyou mind if I let off a few rockets". I said ," no problem mate", thinking, they'll be pointed at the pitch. Well, he pulled out ,which looked like an empty whisky bottle ,opened his coat, which had a few rockets stored in there, put one in said bottle, and got his lighter out,and lit it. It went straight on to the pitch,but almost parted the hair of the bloke sat in the next row in front of him. Really funny at the time , but not so now. The next one,he was struggling with his lighter, and being a bit bladdered,,accidentally aimed at the roof of the stand,and it ended up falling onto the city fans near the front. He managed a couple more then got arrested. Really funny at the time.
We went to Huddersfield 3 times that season, probably a bit fortunate to get a draw in the first replay, but, we won in the end. Oh the joy of away days ,yesteryear.
