Must’ve taken a similar number to Huddersfield in the cup that season. Utter bedlam when Gidman scored the equaliser, I still maintain that’s the most mental celebration ever.Funnily enough we were discussing the 87-88 season today.
This was the only season, since I've been watching City, that we averaged less than 20,000, and yet I can remember around 12,000 travelling to Everton for the LC Quarter Final, and 3-4 other fixtures where we must have taken 7000+ (mostly in the competitions that have since been devalued)
We all dreamt of Wembley, but nobody ever complained about the cost as it was all so cheap.
How many home games that season?
31, and I'm still annoyed that I missed the 1-1 v Barnsley.
Such a memorable season that was - never to be forgotten away days at Blackpool, Bradford and Huddersfield

Was shite in the away end today and to be honest didn't see many if any tourists at all, seemed mostly middle aged blues stood arms folded watching in silence.

I was born in 1970 but I was at the "Battle of Elland Road" as a seven year old. The King's return was my second home game watching the first team. I had been watching the youth team and reserves for 18 months before then.Nailed it, from another Blue born in 1964 !
Being brought up in Stretford, it was never a chore sticking up four our team. Who'd have guessed 50 years ago that despite winning so many trophies in the last 15 years, fans would consider themselves Bigger Blues by posting pictures of empty seats at our home games for the rags' enjoyment.

I must confess to being one of those middle aged blokesWas shite in the away end today and to be honest didn't see many if any tourists at all, seemed mostly middle aged blues stood arms folded watching in silence.
I joined in with a few songs about the current players but there's a reluctance to embrace anything new and it's been there all season
Today we had songs about Balotelli and Zabaleta and even the "Ederson and Ake......" seems outdated when we're hanging on at 2-1, especially when it doesn't include a single player who featured today.

Loads of singing on the concourse before the game and at half time but nothing during the game, really weird atmosphere. I went for a piss half way through the second half and I saw people leaving, fuckin strange day
Is our away support slowly getting like our home support?Loads of singing on the concourse before the game and at half time but nothing during the game, really weird atmosphere. I went for a piss half way through the second half and I saw people leaving, fuckin strange day
Something is going wrong on the terraces.

We’re living off our recent success and the players that delivered that success. The current players, bar one of two exceptions, haven’t delivered anything so far, so there’s no need to chant their names.

Singing on the concourse is totally pointless. Selfie shit.
I don’t think anyone knows what is going on with our fan base atm, but it’s completely fucked up.Really weird mate, nobody could be arsed but to see people fuckin off after 70 minutes is mad

It's always shit at spurs, nothing new here. Pretty much impossible to get chants spread around the whole end.

It was great at Newcastle and Sunderland because young people were numerous and it was people predominantly from Manchester or linked. The crap kick off times work

It was decent for the FA Cup win there a couple of years ago when Ake scored.It's always shit at spurs, nothing new here. Pretty much impossible to get chants spread around the whole end.
Shite normally though, agreed.
I’ve heard other clubs fans make. Right noise at spurs when they hve been beating Spurs.It's always shit at spurs, nothing new here. Pretty much impossible to get chants spread around the whole end.
TBF, it isn’t a ground where it’s easy to create a constant away support, a bit like Wolves, Arsenal, Liverpool, etc.
