Been following blues a long time.

Never witnessed a Cup Final but made Gillingham.
Was at swamp when Pardoe suffered that horrendous injury and in '74 when a rag nearly took my uncle's head off with a bayonete.

Did York and had a lovely weekend in Earswick!

Ha Ha was at that game Billy Mcneil and Jimmy "Face like a bag of spanners" Sirrel came over to ask us to calm down! Made it worse!.Weren't we 3-0 down at half time and the Simmo scored twice to make it 3-2? Great memories of those days!

be interesting to see which City fans were there at certain moments of our history more or less most people attended FA Cup Final & Qpr games would be interesting though to find out who was at Huddersfield 10-1, Mansfield Autowindscreens, Millwall A (when we were officially banned), Stoke A 98, Stoke A boxing day 88 (fancy dress)

i can't fuckin believe your asking about where anyone one was at the 10 -1, cos that was bad what happened to a few good lads that day.

i was goimg through a period in my life when it was bad manners to miss any kind of city match, even knew what the reserve team was and how they played in the week, who should be sub and who shouldn't be.

anyway england were struggling to get in the euros, and were playing yugoslavia in belgrade and needed to win so in them days there was no euro comps for city, so we had to get off on watching fuckin england, so we went in a minibus to belgrade from the volta in the moss after the huddersfield game, but we met in the volta before the game cos we wanted to put our bags in the van.

one thing led to another and we decided NOT to go to the game.it was the first time i'de missed a game home or away for years and i can see all of us looking at the score flash on tv..........7, 8, 9, 10-1. there was a lad with us who hadn't missed a home game for 13 years, we were all excited about driving to belgrade after the game.

gettin back to the thread.

fuckin missed the 10-1 sat in the volta like a ****.

There were 89,000 away at York according to this forum.

What about the 8000 odd at Maine Road? Lowest attendance at Maine Road. Think it was the Swindon game?

Ok - who remembers the change of KO times due the 3 day working week?

I can recall going to midweek afternoon games at Maine Road then as the floodlights could not be used. I can't reme,mber what impact it had on attendance, although at least half the workforce would have been off by law. I was at University at the time

During one afternoon match there was a bomb scare. Some clown had phoned up stating that the IRA had planted a bomb. No-one took it seriously as the codewords were not given. We were asked to look under our seats and then the match went on.

I went to a midweek day game again'st Coventry City. Can't remember the score but remember Coventry were playing in green and black stripes[i think]

 

[CityEssex49er]

Did Millwall away when we were banned, cunningly disguised as a pearly king..............which got me thinking about other games I did when away fans were banned: Old Trafford when they were rebuilding; Stamford Bridge, midweek in the maroon and white stripes and Luton when they wanted id cards to get in. Any more ? Still waiting for the loyalty points.

Was at Millwall for the first game we weren't banned, the second we were and at their place for the game THEY were banned from Maine Road. They put 2 big screens up at their ground and I snuck in. Someone got sent off early - Ali B ?? But we still beat them and it was hard to keep quiet and walk back to the station being miserable...........!!!

I think it was Ipswich we played at hone, we were winning 1-0 I think and the match got abandoned and then went to the replay and we lost!! Must of been about 11-12 years ago!
