I went to see City play at Coventry at the beginning of the 1965/66 season. Mercer and Allison had just taken over.
Great game 3-3 draw.
You could sense there was something in the air and sure enough the following May we got promoted to Division One and made history in the following four seasons.

Don Price told a story about the P&W Blues getting a different coach driver to the one they normally had. They told the driver they were going to Everton and he took them to Atherton.

a few years ago Bredbury Blues took two coaches to Sheffield United - our coach got to Bramhall Lane nice and safely in time. When someone rang to find out what had happened to the other coach the report that came back was that their (wet behind the ears) driver had had just got them to Hillsborough...
 
A few years ago, a coach load of Belgium fans turned up in Wales, South Yorkshire for a euro qualifier.

If I was a cynical old git, which I am, I would say yesterday’s shitshow of a refereeing performance, is a sure sign the PL want to get back at us for something.

I think what the PL want/need is a team other than City to win the league. The following might help them limit the damage when City win the 115 case .... other team win league 3rd WK of May >> CL final 4th WK May >> result of 115 (City win) announced 1st WK of June >> World Cup starts 2nd WK of June >> summer transfer window opens 3rd WK of June >> England do well in World Cup (epic wins over Scotland, Germany and France included) .... response to 115 outcome is significant, but press and fans focused on other things and quickly move on

You've not really thought this out have you :)

Interestingly, I just found out that Paul Harris KC (who was joint senior counsel with Pannick in 2021, and who is working this 115 case too) is not only a city fan, but he also played for the club as a junior. Not that important, but just an interesting little tidbit.

My eldest lad married a Japanese girl and her mother came over on a pre-wedding visit to “kick the tyres”. She spoke little English and had an electronic translation device. Conversation was difficult. I asked her what sights she’d managed to see and she replied she’d been to Paris. I waxed lyrical for a few minutes about the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame etc while she looked at me, clearly fucking baffled. When I finished she just looked at me, shaking her her head and said “No - Buckingham Paris”
100% true. We still laugh about it now. Like an episode of “Mind your Language”

Stockport County on the wrong road

Stockport turned up late for their clash at Shrewsbury after their coach took them to Gay Meadow, Shrewsbury’s old ground, which has been closed for three years.
