Whats telling in the blackburn and bradford game is they streamed on from all sides. Truly took over those groundsWe used to have one every last home game at Maine Road it was tradition.
The craziest one for an away game was probably Blackburn away, thousands on the pitch including me. Also on the pitch for Charlton, QPR and the other two title wins. Great fun.

Yes I was at the Bradford one too. The Blackburn game I was in their kop behind the goal which meant I couldn't really celebrate as our goals went in. I'd been sussed out as a Blue and told I'd be okay so long as I didn't jump up if we scored. Funnily enough the lad sat next to me on my left was a Blue too so we kind of celebrated quietly together, then went mad as we ran onto the pitch at the end.

Managed to get a divot of turf from one, maybe after the 76 final iirc.....and planted in the back garden, presume it's still there. It seemed to be the fashion in those days as mentioned above.
Remember to this day looking back at the Kippax...a sea of blue, maroon and white.

At least our fans dive on the pitch, unlike the scum and dippers whose players dive on the pitch, now that’s small timeMakes me cringe these days. Small-time.

Got on the pitch against Wigan, Blackburn, QPR, West Ham.
Blackburn was in the upper tier of their Main Stand and so had to navigate the stairs, print past the stewards to get on the pitch. Next minute I was looking up at the stand I had just vacated watching the City players celebrating not far from where I was previously sat. Should have stayed put for that one.
