York away mate, over 100k of us at bootham crescent that day :)

I’m the only city fan who didn’t go york ;), its a fair old bragging right!! ;)

I would guess that you weren't at Newcastle in 1968 then.

I wasn’t born mate ;)

Was at the Golden Cup pub after the game with hundreds of blues celebrating when the city coach crawled past in the post match traffic. The players were banging on the windows and basically going mental

Next thing the emergency doors opened and Jamie Pollock jumped out and was carried shoulder high into the pub as the coach carried on

Thought not! ;-)
Biggest away following I've ever been in - I would guess at 30,000 plus. I never went to York away, so I can't estimate how many blues were there. Some have said 200,000, but I think that may be, ahem, optimistic, as the attendance is quoted as 7,527!

Another great day, and what a celebration, one year after Gillingham, we were certainly on a rollercoaster of a ride at that time under JOE.

My lad was literally a week old and I’d given up hope of going only for a mate of mine working for CIS and he got me some in the Blackburn mainstand! What a day. No trouble and the locals were sound. Had a few beers to celebrate for sure!

Was in the Blackburn end that day or was it the City end? One of the best away games I went to. Should have been out of it after first half. The second was a different story, the goals, the pitch invasion, the celebrations, never forgotten.

Watched it on YouTube last night. What a fucking day.

Brilliant.

 

[Jogon 127]

City fans in all four sides of the ground including their main end behind the goal. Amazed it didn't kick off at some point, and the pitch invasion was something else.

Jesus mate.....it was carnage after the Goat scored.....I was sat in that end.....everyone was keeping quiet but simply couldn’t after that goal....fists flying everywhere!

Watched it in Ireland whilst on holiday. It was another defining City game. Down and out with depression, to untold comeback ecstasy.

and a glorious sunny day.
