City 10 Huddersfield Town 1

[lancs blue]

Yes, am certain started very sluggishly and 'Uddersfield could/should have gone ahead.
Did HTFC play in the Wilson's Brewery yellow & black check shirt ?
Also, did Andy May score their goal ?
Seemed to get drawn against this team a few times in Cups, around a similar time ?

Yes, the beer mat kit and yes Andy May took the pen.
Drew 2-2 at theirs in the FA Cup, 0-0 at Maine Rd then back to Udders to win the 2nd replay 3-0. Typically we lost the return league game 1-0.

Thanks.
Typical City, of that time.
Really enjoyed it though, as you never knew how City would perform ?

You have just confused two games 11 months apart.
October 1988 we beat Plymouth away 6-3 in the League Cup.
The game was scheduled for the Tuesday but I was on the supporters club coach traveling down to the game and it got called off when we reached Taunton due to torrential rain.
Couldn’t make the game played the next day when we won as above.
I was then on the coach to Plymouth again for the 2nd Division game 3 days later, on the Saturday. And we had been away at Ipswich the previous Saturday!

I remember a match at Plymouth 6 goal away win late 80s I was in work and kept ringing MCFC Clubcall for live commentary on works phone at premium rate, I couldn't put the bloody phone down we were raining goals, City could not stop scoring,( or conceding ) and I couldn't put the phone down.

Got a right bollocking off our manager few days later when the phone bill came in......there was only the one City fan in our Notts city centre office( just up from Rock City) ....I had nowhere to hide....had to own up

Those premium rate lines were lethal.

The replayed cup tie in the pouring rain was 3nil,not 3-1, iirc.

The only match I missed against udders that season out of the 5 played was the nil nil 1st replay at Maine Road.
When Huddersfield Town moved from Leeds rd to their new stadium , something died along the way .
No more cow shed for a start !

Ha ha
I recall when we were drawn to play Brentford away in the FA Cup in January 1989 (I think) and desperate for a ticket and not thinking I'd get one in the City end, I called the Brentford 0800 Club Call number from work to find out how to get a ticket from Griffin Park. The automated voice went something like this:

"Welcome to Brentford FC club call for all the latest information about supporting The Bees. We have details about our up coming FA Cup tie with Manchester City - but first, a report on last night's reserve team game away at Cambridge United....."

After about 10 or so seconds of this banal match report and a boss about to walk into the office, I hung up.
Fortunately, I did get a ticket in the City end!
A few weeks later there was a staff meeting and it got pulled up about the telephone bill, that someone had called the USA and there were lots of 0800 calls. I shat myself for a while until the boss said "some of these are over 15 minutes long and always on a Sunday''. I knew it wasn't me as I didn't work weekends.
I said to the boss afterwards, in a conversation between the two of us, ''what number are they calling for over 15 mins?"
He didn't know, so I suggested he called it to find out (basically just wanting to clear my own name ha ha).
So he called one of the numbers and it was a recording of some pervy women talking dirty lol.

Awesome

The only match I missed at Maine Rd that season.

Incapable following a monuMENTAL drinking session in Nottingham all day Friday.

Couldn't walk, talk or see !!

Clive Wilson scored the third…?

Was that the night it absolutely pissed it down and we were in the open end? You could see the steam coming off the City fans after it stopped. The end was so packed I was wet from the chest up and dry from the chest down.

In the interests of balance I'll need to verify that statement. Give me that number and I'll check it out, cheers.

All those who went to all the lot, including the postponed game (on the supporters club coach/train) got a certificate from City. Still got it somewhere!
