Me too and how about Swindon home 1963 ?

If you mean 1965, when we lost 2-1, with our lowest ever attendance of 8,015, (Buzzer scored for Swindon)....I was in the almost deserted scoreboard end...

As I recall, that was the original 'York away' game. Over the years the attendance grew to over 60,000.

Yep, I was there....as well as Newcastle, last game of the season.....Both iconic matches in City's illustrious history......:)

Yeah, both those, the Scunny 8-1 game, the game Colin Bell scored for Bury agin us, Bert's testimonial, the game we paraded the 2nd Div trophy in '66, the 3-1 at OT in '68, the game Colin Bell made his return from injury, the Fenerbache game, the Gornik game. Happy Days.

And for good measure was at the WC QF "Hand of God" game..

was at all those. the scunny 8-1 (63-64) was unusual because it was only 1-0 at half time. that came when city scored 18 goals in 3 games over christmas with a 6-1 home win over rotherham and a 4-2 away win over scunny as well.

the game colin bell scored on his debut for bury was the same season. it was also notable because city keeper harry dowd equalised. he'd injured his hand or arm and there were no subs then so he just went up front while matt gray went in goal.

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

I didn't go. :(

Hmph. Wasn't at anything mentioned by the OP. Suppose I'd better defect, as I'm obviously not worth anything as a Blue. But which club to defect to? Might have to be the Minstermen, based on the fact that I was really there.

What about Jimmy Greaves debut for West Ham against us in 1970...
I remember is pissed down all day and he ran riot!
I think on one goal Corrigan booted the ball out, then turned round to walk back and Greaves booted back into the net for a goal! I think we got beat either 1-5 or -1-6.
