Fucking hell this game has come from nowhere to challenge York away.
Got a very slight kicking of some Rags on Warwick Rd after the game, they ran out of Railway road literally kicked me a few times and ran back lads I was with just ahead of me never noticed, I was lagging behind because i had a pulled hamstring so limping a bit and only 15 so Rag scum never change

I remember it well!
2-0 down, 3-2 up, Now we're gonna win the Cup!
We went 2-0 down in the first half, Tueart scored from the spot, Channon equalised, Tueart missed his second spot kick, before Kidd scored late into extra time!
I think we then played @ Dipswich Town, winning 2-1 can't remember who scored, before losing to Arse 1-0
NO Rags, but still a sh1thole!!!

Yep I was there with mates on the train, we all got arrested when we got back to Macc for allegedly standing in the seats (we weren’t!) Later released without charge due to lack of evidence (only one smudged footprint). The game was pretty dire if I remember, and only about 15,000 there

Yes i was there. Think only the stretford end was open so meant a small turn out. What stood out for me was the plod stood in crows nest in the stantions pointing out trouble makers( basically fans singing) so the snatch squad could turf them out. Didn’t the Futchers score in this game and soon after bought them both?I only vaguely remember this.
Does anyone remember going to this ?
City win 3-2 at Old Trafford – but not against Manchester United. Having drawn twice with Luton Town in the League Cup third round – 1-1 at Kenilworth Road and 0-0 in the replay at Maine Road – a neutral venue was arranged, though being held in Manchester, City had something of an advantage! It was worth the admission just to see City fans in the Stretford End, and the Blues progressed to the next round thanks to goals from Peter Barnes, Mike Channon and Brian Kidd in front of a gate of 13,,043.
Sure we also played Bury there too. I went v Luton but I’m sure I also went to watch us play Bury there?I remember us playing a 2nd replay vs Walsall around 1973 at the Swamp. The mullet haired Bay City roller fans were out in force that night (outside the ground) trying to ambush blues after the game.
