I can clearly remember watching City on a rented TV for the 1956 cup final against Birmingham. My dad went to Wembley but I was considered too young to go with him. I might have been to Maine Road before that match but I'm not sure.

I laughed at that, we got back to our local and I said to the landlady get everyone a drink, meaning everyone on our bus (about 16), a few minutes later she said that's (about) £90, was about £2 a pint at the time, she thought I meant everyone in the pub!! Bad day got worse!I know we share a birthday from previous messages on here...I didn't even win any fucking money :(

Derby County home 27th March 1970. Lost 1-0. Didn’t see a thing as too small. But I remember me and my dad met my grandad there. That’s all I remember.

Still remembering the 56 Cup Final is amazing. You didn't rent the TV from Swales did you :)I can clearly remember watching City on a rented TV for the 1956 cup final against Birmingham.

I don't remember the game, but my Dad had me shouting, WAGGY-WAGGY-WAGGY, WAGGY-WAGGY-WAGGY, to the amusement of a lot of the City fans, I now know that this was in reference to David Wagstaff, who played for City in the early 60s.
I cant remember any of those early games, spent most of my time on the grass banking at the back of the scoreboard end, and under the scoreboard if it rained.
The only other thing I remember was my Dad saying that we were a good second division team, even at that young age it didn't sit well with me.
