Pre season friendly against Scarborough, I think it was the summer after the relegation to the 3rd tier,
Took Mrs Midd with me but didn’t tell her about the game .we had planned to go to Newquay for a week but managed to change her mind and went to Scarborough instead.
It fucking pissed down for the entire week , on the day of the game think it was a Tuesday we were walking around the town and during the course of the day and I must have said hi to about twenty different people most with city tops on before she fucking twigged on , she was not a happy bunny anyway city won and I think Goater scored a few , went in their social club after the game and the rain was pissing in through the roof , buckets all over the floor trying to catch it .
It cost me a fortune the next day has she went on a shopping spree as payback.

I’ve not been to the new West Ham ground yet. It looks awful for football.

Stay away. We've scored 22 in 5 visits IIRC and you've not been there to put the mockers on it!! And yes, it's awful for football.I’ve not been to the new West Ham ground yet. It looks awful for football.

My first ever match was at home to Blackpool in the 3rd tier and we won 3-0. My second was home to Sheffield United and we won 6-0.
I’d argue things have consistently improved when I’m there. It’ll be 9-0 when I next attend. Put £100 on it and have a holiday in Malaga on the winnings.

2021, IMHO. I booked Düsseldorf for my 40th without realising they have an early January break so there was no match to go to!

Was at Stamford Bridge early 90’s for an evening game. Announcement came on the tannoy at half-time to inform one of the City fans that he had just become a father to a baby girl.
Cue loads of cheers from the Away End.
Announcer then confirmed “And her Mum has named her Chelsea”
Cue cheers from the Home End........

My weirdest one was non city related.
Was on a break in Lisbon with my missus and him and his
Decided to go and watch Benfica. It was a match in which they could win the title. Headed down to the ground to see if we could get some tickets off touts. No luck initially but eventually got some. Headed back to the hotel happy and then realised we were in the away end...
Back to the ground, a few beers round and about and decided to head in. Couldn't. Redirected into some holding pen area and then a coach load of the away fans turned up. Proper moody atmosphere getting spat on and stuff as we headed into the ground.
Found our seats and then gradually realised we were with the ultras. Horns, megaphones, the lot. What made it worse was my mate had a red top on which began to attract attenition.....
A few minutes in and Benfica were 2 up - scuffles in the away end as loads of home fans in there and they piled over the segregation into the home end. We sat it out, increasingly getting stared at. At half time we went to the concourse and some hooligan spotting old bill clocked us as randoms and escorted us out of the groud.
