First away game.

Derby, 1977. We were chasing the title that season, and ended up getting battered 4-0. Anyone remember big Joe stepping out the yards for the penalty spot which had disappeared in a sea of sand? The ref had spotted the ball, but Joe reckoned it was too close to the goal ( he was right as well, IIRC). And he got booked for it too.

Newcastle United, 11th May 1968, and even then some people ran on the pitch.

Excluding the swamp, Leeds away FA Cup January 1978, this one...



... so glad it was televised, it was a real classic.

Me and my brother were sat behind the goal, so relieved when the police horses thwarted the anticipated charge.

Bury away September 63, and there was a bit of mither on the terraces.

Stockport County in 2000. We drew 2-2 with a late equaliser from Richard Jobson.

Pandemonium.

Burnley 1961-62. Bert Trautmann was injured and and a young Harry Dowd stood in. City scored first but got walloped by a very good Burnley side. We lost 6-3 but true to form my dad decided we should leave when it was 5-2 "to beat the traffic".

Oldham Athletic 1989 I think it was the footballing god Gary Megson bagged the winner 1-0, was a sea of yellow inflatable bananas when he scored.
