City clubcall?

Ha Ha, I feel your pain, I didnt miss a game at home for about 4 years, then my mum somehow convinced me to miss the Huddersfield game because my brother was visiting home for a few days while living abroad, funny thing is my brothers a big blue & we both wanted to go, I didnt miss another home game after that for another 4 years!
So like me you would have been there 3 months later at the home 0-0 FA Cup game v the same team Huddersfield (and prob even the 3-0 away replay) constantly thinking why the f++k did I choose to miss that one bloody match
 
Welcome to Manchester City club call..bringing you the latest news..of the club! Everything was elongated to prolong the call. It's clubcalls fault that my dad one day brought a bleeding payphone and plonked it next to the tele and said 'Meet your new phone you little bastards!'.
 
There can't be many that went to every home game APART FROM THOSE two in a season, - the 10-1 and 6-2. But there was at least one. And that, was bloody me

I know a guy who missed only ONE home game in the whole of the 1980s. Lot longer than that actually. It was the 5-1. Best thing was, he didn’t even have a reason. Just said he didn’t fancy it.
 
I must admit to a moment of shame in December 1989. I visited my sister in West Ruislip on a day when City were playing away at Southampton. I sneakily rang Clubcall on her phone. I then went out for the afternoon. When I came back in the evening I realised I hadn't hung up properly. She has never mentioned it. I have chosen not to bring it up.

I've just found this in an old book, I'd been using it as a bookmark.
'96/'97 fixtures on the other side.
 
In 1987 I listened to a full members cup match Vs Plymouth on clubcall from a pay phone inside a pub in Surrey. I popped 10 pence in and I got the full 90 minutes for some strange reason. Now that was value for money for a city fan working away. The only downside was Brian Clarkes commentary.

I was at that game. We played Ipswich away on the Saturday and drew 0-0, Bill Williams’s only game for us, we signed him from Stockport and he was hauled off at half time coz he was terrible! On the Friday we got hit by that hurricane that Michael Fish failed to mention so no one was prepared for it! It took us seven hours to get there, we had to keep getting out of the van and moving trees off the roads! Then on the Tuesday I went on Helen the bells coach and the Plymouth full members cup game was cancelled when we were at Taunton in Somerset. Back we came and undeterred went again the next day. I think we won 6-2, Paul Moulden scored 4 if I remember rightly. Then on the Saturday a league trip back to Plymouth! I covered some miles that week for the cause!
