Was also at that game very good away win,remember Andy Lockhead was playing for them then in 69 he was at Leicester in the cup final v City.
 
1976 League Cup Final ...what a day
Followed by pre season friendly away at Great Harwood town, the following season I think, went in the changing rooms for autographs and Denis Tuerat was stood on the wooden bench bollock naked covering himself in Talc, strange what you remember as a kid!

Could've been, remember walking up to the ground and there were city fans in the sheff utd end telling us to come and join them. Was only 13 so decided that was not a good idea!

Glass and blood everywhere.

It was named 'The Battle of Bramall Lane'

Seen many things, this was bad !!
 
Southampton 1974. The week before the LC final.
Law and Marsh scored. Buzzer had one disallowed straight from kick off.
The only time I've seen any of the game since was in the Dennis Law doc. recently. Only his goal though.
I'm sure Rodney half volleyed from the edge of the 18 yard box.
2-0 to the City.

QPR away October 1994 aged 14 with my schoolmate with Official Supporters Club. Mate's Dad dropped and picked us up at Chorlton St (so basically 2 just turned 14 yr olds on their own, which is mad really.) I won the raffle on the coach for free travel to a game of my choice and we won 2-1. Great day.

That was the one where we had 2 players sent off wasn't it, I seem to remember the City fans singing '9 men, you couldn't beat 9 men' at the end .Was one of those who got an 'early bath 'our keeper, Andy Dibble ?
There were loads of good away days at Loftus Road, there was normally decent away support, good atmosphere and (even when we were a bit shit) we got a few results down there.
 
December 1972 - Norwich away and a 1-1 draw. We have family living there who moved from Manchester due to my Uncles job, so were own there over Xmas. My parents (both City mad as were the extended family) couldnt get a babysitter so 2 year old me was carried in with them - couldnt tell you anything about the game but I still have the programme somewhere as it was my first ever game.

Dippers 66. For me first time in Div 1

Lost 2 3 but we were great. Still remember the morning papers next day. One with a classic headline..
'I dont know why the kop were singing, they should have been praying;

Chased across Stanley Park after the match. Great night out.
 
Bolton away 1996. It was only my second City game, my first being Blackburn at home a few weeks earlier. Both games were shite and finished 1-1. Fuck knows why I carried on going.

EDIT: Just looked and my first 12 City games were either losses or draws haha. Jesus
