Yes I think he was with us.
I don't know the name but there was a bloke with us.
We stopped the cab on a big round about and ran off so we didn't have to pay.
Is he from macc.
We were with a load of macc lads.
I'm wank with names though.
Fuck me what a trip that was.
My 1st and only city away game in Europe.
My daughter was 2 weeks old when we went there.
So money etc stopped me going away for a while after.
And since we've been in champions league I won't go as it's a corrupt load of shite

When me and my daft mate got to the ground
Some how we ended up walking across the pitch
Anelka came out of the tunnel and said what are you doing the players are coming out
We climbed the fence.
Instead of jumping left into our end.
We jumped right into there end.

It got a bit heated for a while.
Mainly cos I'm a gob shite.
We ended up going up some stairs towards the exec lounge.
Dunne and tiatto came past and said to the bouncers on the door.
Man city mate after showing some pass or other.
We followed and told the bouncers we were there body guards .
Ended up on free champagne sat with Dunne and tiatto.
Anyway I really upset tiatto when I told him dunne wasn't in the team cos distan was player.
Your not playing Danny cos Keegan thinks sun ji hi is a better option at left back even though he's a right back .you must be fucking crap.
Dunne found this absolutely hilarious.
Tiatoo not so much.
Funny funny day.
 
Wembley semi final 2011 after beating the rags we stayed over in Ealing staggered out of the bar and ended up sleeping under a bridge was woken up by a copper and went to the hotel for breakfast and sobered up
 
Palace away the week before their Cup Final in 90/91 which they should've won, and the GPC would've got the sack and life could have been so different then.

Too many beers from early morning combined with a very sunny day. I was asleep on the terracing when City scored the equaliser (at our end as well) and was convinced we'd lost, when in fact we'd snatched a draw.

Woke up in time to get on the pitch and wish the Palace fans well for the following weeks game -if only!!
 
Not so much as away day, but me and my pals once slept under the concrete steps in H Block, so we could attend a derby the next day.

We sneaked in on the Friday evening and stashed our sleeping bags and grub.

Stayed there and quiet until 2pm the next day and then came out from under the terrace and mixed in with everyone else.

Went back for our gear at the final whistle.

Shit game, think it was 0-0 and Adrian Heath missed a free fucking header?

Should have stayed in bed.
 
In a bin store in Felixstowe the night before getting a ferry to Holland on route to fc twenty.
And then the train station in Rotterdam the night after

I won't mention his name, because it wouldn't be fair on John Atkins, but a certain heavily drunk City supporter from Whaley Bridge somehow fell asleep in the toilets at the Goldstone Ground towards the end of the disastrous FA Cup defeat in 1983.
He woke up at 6pm and was the only person in the ground. He then had to walk over the pitch and find a wall small enough to climb out of the stadium.

However, there was a happy ending, as despite his mates assuming he'd been arrested, he still managed to hitchhike home and reach Whaley in time for last orders.

Similarly, a mate of mine fell asleep in the toilets at Goodison in 2011 at half time - woke up about an hour after the game.

Swansea away 2013 the week before the dreaded Wigan FA Cup final I left the ground after about 20 minutes as I was leathered (don't start drinking cans of Strongbow at whatever ungodly time we left town that morning) fell asleep on a grass verge near where our coach was parked. My mates (still) got a video of me snoring completely conked out whilst the first half is still going on.

Not completely City related I guess but I was travelling back to Manchester for a game on New Years Day from London, missed the last train from Manchester to Milton Keynes (where I was living at the time) and ended up sleeping on the floor of Euston from about 3am til 6am until the first train came, the police even gave me a foil sheet like I was in shock from a tragic event.

Not me but on the way back from Istanbul, someone on my plane was saying their mate had done 3 nights but not booked a hotel. They just got a taxi to the airport each night and slept there.
Sure it would have been cheaper to get a hotel.
 
I've slept in a car, me and a mate in the centre of derby in the main car park, the night before we went on the piss in derby and bumped into the DLF "derby lunatic fringe " who were sound and took us around Derbyshire best bars, top night, top lads

We were 2-0 down when I got in the ground that day and I wasn’t that late. We were in with the Palace fans too for some reason I have no idea whatsoever
 
Inter railing..Pre season 92..
Brescia in san lorenzo en benale i think big fook off lake anyway..
Dead posh..couldnt afford a hotel so spent the money on ale
Stone quarry.
Had a wash in the lake next day and cracked on to Genoa... brilliant days!!!
 
On the way back from WBA I opened the back door of a transit on the M6 just wide enough to have a piss.
It cost me 50 quid I had pissed on a police car that was behind us....I wasn't popular.
Slept in a phone box in Coventry

You're as bad as me mate.

I always seemed to get ridiculously drunk at away games down in Lundun, fall asleep on the tube and end up at one of the terminuses in the far reaches of that hell hole at silly o'clock on my own. On occasions I even did both ends of the line in a night. Fall asleep, wake up at Edgware Road, get the train back, fall asleep, wake up at High Barnet, get the train back, fall asleep, etc...etc...etc...

Woke up at Croydon with headphones in but some twat had robbed my walkman and after asking a taxi driver "How much to Euston mate?" was greeted with the response "What, Euston in LONDON?" So I slept in/under a bush in the pissing rain.

Walking, totally lost along Caledonian Road I thought fuck this and, like you, found a building site, only mine was in a shitty old on site caravan which was fortunately empty. (5 star accommodation compared to yours)

Simply walked into a fire station just round the corner from Scotland Yard (only found that out in the morning) and burrowed under a big pile of their flame proof jackets (very warm) and fortunately for me there were no emergencies that night.

Tried to sleep on a platform at an overland tube station near Crystal Palace (no idea which station) only to be woken by two blokes who said "You don't want to sleep here mate, somebody will kill you." who then followed me round for a good hour as I stumbled off shitting myself not having a fucking clue where I was going (that one scared me a bit to be honest)

That's off the top of my head.

You may be relieved to hear that I no longer drink any alcohol, which I think is probably for the best :)

As you say, "happy" days :)

It’s great to see someone learning from their mistakes.
 
Back of a wrecked car in a service station after missing youth hostel closing time in Lichfield after pre-season evening friendly at Walsall (mid 60s)
 
I was pissed and couldn’t find my accommodation in Munich during the World Cup 2006. I was staying at mates, but I lost him in a beer garden, and he wasn’t answering his phone and I didn’t have his address.

I went into a cop shop and asked if they’d put me up for the night.

The desk sarge thought it was hilarious and was happy to oblige.

When being taken through to the cells his boss found out what was happening and threw me out and told me where to sleep with tramps under a nearby bridge.

I ended up shelling out a fortune for a shitty hotel which I think was mainly being used by sex workers. I got about an hours sleep as the air con, fear of bed bugs and the smell kept me an awake.
