Greatest Atmosphere ever at Maine Road

[blueju]

For me the Charlton promotion game and the 5-1 derby both in the Kippax. Also the Stoke night match where we were battering them but went down by a goal, the roar from the stands after a massive tackle from Jeff Whitley and another from Horlock gained us the win 2-1 and eventually promotion

Maine Rd was miles better just because you could balloon about more

Wasn’t that massive tackle from Danny Tiatto ?

Probably the Charlton 5-1 promotion year, party atmosphere.

The 3-3 derby sticks out a lot for some reason in my mind as I’ve never seen an atmosphere swing so much from joy, expectation of doing another 5-1 a year later with 10 minutes to go being 3-1 up, to nearly loosing it in the last minute to that Pallister shot -

That Everton game was a cracker. It was City's last home game, the last two games being away at Spurs and Newcastle. The players and the crowd were well up for it. The crowd went mental when Tony Book scored City's first. Tony Coleman got the second with a rocket shot that Gordon West held up his hands to catch but the ball went straight through them. The rags were playing at West Brom and the biggest roar of the night was when the stadium announcer said "Here is a result you may not have heard." The euphoria stopped and the stadium went totally quiet in an instant. "West Bromwich Albion 6..." The incredible roar from the crowd drowned out the rags' score. We'd have looked well if it had been 7! (It was 3).
