I live in Oldham and was in the town centre early morning shopping, couldn't walk for the wind and there were bits of roofs all over the place, not for the first time Oldham looked like it'd been bombed overnight.

I was really surprised the game went ahead....the wind although we weren't very good at the time was a great leveler for them.

Talking of Oldham and weather, was anyone there around 88 when Megson scored and we won 1-0. Coldest I’ve been at a football game.

Coventry City, Feb 1980. 0-0. I took my match programme down to wythenshawe park the following week, where city used to train on the grass by the running track, and got it signed by most of the squad.

Don't be sorry, for many of us it was best part of going to football, I can't remember more than a handful of match results from back then but I can recall loads of trivial shite from away trips with mates.

Re Stoke away, I'm sure I remember a Friday night away game, maybe due to fixture congestion but it was when they still had the big open end and we filled it, newspaper report next day said something along the lines of; 'The Manchester City fans came in their thousands and created a huge sea of blue & white.' Like I said, loads of trivial shite.

I went on the official coach trip under the supervision of Helen and her bell. There was no nonsense on Helen's watch I can tell you.

I never went on city supporters club coaches but did hear about her supervision techniques

I loved long weekends away ......20 lads in a transit van.....raining nicotine stinking condensation from the roof. Pissed up away trips.

Came back with more money and clothes than you went with.

No CCTV= utter mayhem
