Does anyone remember - the All we need is a point chant at Bradford in the promotion game -

ALL WE NEED IS A POINT> POINT> A POINT IS ALL WE NEED

Has it ever been sung again?

Whatever happened to that bloke who ran on to tell the players (erroneously) that Palace were about six up?

He looked like he'd just done a weekend at fucking Woodstock.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I got there really early without a ticker before the police put a cordon around the ground. The touts wanted stupid money for a ticket but I waited until just after kick off and got into Bradford's end - loads of blues in there.

We were 1-0 down and the guy who got on the pitch seemed to go to every single player. I've love to know what he said. My recall is that Palace/Birmingham were 4 nil up and that meant we needed to get our act together. Anyway, it worked!
 
This was the first season I went watching city I was only 6 so dont really remember the politics of the management of the club obviously know about swailes
so can I ask
If city failed to go up that season was it known in the press and fanzines that machin would be sacked and if so who was favourite to take over?
I know we got Kendall 6 months later but that was in the top flight who would we have targeted if we were still in div 2 /
 
we had tickets for their end, standing behind the net, the police had a cordon around the ground and unfortunately I was pulled out and asked a series of questions, I blagged it perfectly telling them I was from Brighouse and a Bradford supporter and was allowed in. It kicked off big time after the game, one of my mates was bitten off a police dog

I was in there end in a little enclave in the bottom left hand corner of their stand with about 150 Blues. Managed to get over them twirly spikes on the fence to get on the pitch at the end. Great day out.

Complete with Yorkshire accent and flat cap?
 
I went with my brother and we didn't have any tickets. We knew about the police cordon and that you couldnt get near the ground without a ticket. The police were stopping cars coming off the motorway and if you didnt have a ticket you were turned back down the motorway towards Manchester. We went in suits, shirts and ties so when we got stopped at the motorway exit and outside the ground it was easy to blag our way through. Near the ground the police were arresting those selling tickets so the touts kept a low profile. Luckily we recognised a few touts and managed to buy 3 tickets for their end which we later swapped for 2 in our end.
It was a nervy game and City gave a nervy performance. I was shouting how crap Morley was for missing 2 or 3 chances when immediately he scored. At the end a pitch invasion followed. Saw lots of blues in the away end behind their net. A few scuffles but nothing much more. A good day had by all.

yeh we were stopped at the end of the motorway and there was 3 of us in the car with only 1 ticket we got through and got anothher 2 near the ground
 
i drove though littleborough -halifax to avoid the police parked up four of us managed to get tickets inthe city end for 35 quid each.at 19 that was a fortune.but wouldnt of missed it,still one of my greatest memories.
 
This was a cracking day, I'm sure we went Halifax first in some boozer which was robbed silly, didn't get to ground til near the end, think I was with Benny outside when we were surrounded by there boys, managed to jib away unscathed and into the ground and straight onto the pitch for some wild celebrations, more brawling outside all the way back to town centre and then back on train to Manchester for party time!
