Happy 2nd Title Day, Blues everywhere.

What a day that was!
Get there early we were told... We did. About 25,000 of us! None of this panicking and buying tickets at inflated prices off touts.
Regardless of recent success, I still miss the old days when football was for the people.

Wow not seen that extended highlights since I got home in time for Match of the Day. I think I was in the end we were defending in the second half. Only saw glimpses of our goals through the fog of 10,000 Park Drive and woodbines.
Amazing day.

I was 10 at the time, a day I will never forget. Franny Lee scored and stood on that wall, I was about 10 feet away from him. Unbelievable support that day, City fans all over the ground. Then the pitch invasion.

I was in that stand as well, it was abslotely rammed with blues as were all the other stands. Onto the pitch edge for the last few minutes, readying for the pitch invasion then unbelievable scenes of utter joy. Followed by a great night out in Newcastle, missed my coach due to being pissed but managed to blag a lift on another coach. Big up to the current away followers.Wow not seen that extended highlights since I got home in time for Match of the Day. I think I was in the end we were defending in the second half.

I drove up to the match with three mates in my Fiat 500. It had a two cylinder air cooled engine and vibrated like hell.
The car just wasn’t designed for long distance motorway travel. However it somehow got us there and back.
We arrived very early fearing a sell-out with-pay-at-the gate. I assume that there were 25,000 if not more City supporters in the ground. Newcastle were a decent team back then and qualified for the European Fairs Cup for the next season (which they won).
It was a real roller-coaster of a match with City taking the lead and Newcastle equalising. It went 0-1, 1-1, 1,2, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 3,4. Nobody had a clue what was happening at Old Trafford and we all assumed that City needed to win to take the title.
Most of us only found out after the match that Sunderland had won at Old Trafford. City would have won the title no matter what.
