tbh I first thought this thread was going to be about Newcastle away.
Wreckless Alec said:First game I took my son to was abandoned with City winning. I thought it was against Ipswich in about 1994 but can't see it in the history section. (It wasn't the later Ipswich game that was abandoned as the boy was only 5 or 6 at the time) i also seem to remember that Vonk had scored. What I do remember vividly was getting soaked on the way to the ground and soaked on the way home and my son being thoroughly miserable. I told him to get used to it!
was that about 97? my first match on my own so i would have been 12/13 it was a league cup game if we're talking about the same gameWreckless Alec said:First game I took my son to was abandoned with City winning.
