My dad Dave Whittle lived on Margaret st Gorton told me how he and his mates cried watching the stand burn down at Hyde rd they used to walk to see the new ground progress in Moss Side,first took me in 1949.
My Mum Alice a good Ardwick lass she taught me to sing "who said City could'nt play".Miss them both may cry if we win on Sun.
Thanks a million to the fan who gave us this thread Gary James has my blessing to use my posting.

Sadly, my dad passed away last week, which is why I haven't been on here for a little while. He watched last Monday's derby, was really excited about the result and the prospect of us lifting the title, then died 36 hours later of a massive heart attack while he was out. Can't help thinking the sheer tension and excitement of that game must have played some part in that.
He wasn't originally a football fan but after trying a few teams to take us to, got hooked on City, like so many seem to do. We got season tickets in the newly opened North Stand in 1972 although he hadn't been to a live match for quite some time.
Sadly he ded jsut a few days before what we all hope will be a glorious day on Sunday but he'll be very much in the thoughts of me, my brother and his three grandsons at the game.

Very sorry to hear of you and your family's loss mate.
I'm sure he will be by your side and taken into the ground with you on Sunday as will thousands of others be by our sides and taken along with us. Without them all we wouldn't be there ourselves.
