I Wonder how many on here were at the 10-1 win against Hudd?

[havelocke]

It was the only game that season I missed! Absolutely gutted!
My mum and dad took us away on holiday, and his thinking was its only
Huddersfield so no big shakes...

What a mistake to make!
lol!

I was there Kippax

It spawned this classic.

" remem mem, remember member, remem mem, remember member, remem mem, remember member when when city scored ten"

love that song. no other team,s fans can sing it...love it.<br /><br />-- Mon Dec 19, 2011 10:49 pm --<br /><br />

I was there. I remember thinking what an awesome player Paul Stewart was, and was gutted when he left us for Spurs!

paul stewart was the business..until paper talk went to his head..understandable i suppose.

the very next match after the 10-1 was birmingham at home..not much happening,kippax was quiet..then stewart from nowhere rifled in a superb 25 yarder..one of my fav players at the time..still not quite sure where his football career went wrong. great player,strong,fast direct,could dribble,head a ball well and a cannonball shot on him.

Do you remember that goal he scored at Bradford away, spun away from the defender near the half way line, outpaced their defence and smashed it in right in front of our fans. I think Bradford were league leaders at the time and we battered em 4-2

didn,t go bradford, but remember seeing the goals on the news that night...city had indeed beaten the league leaders and in style. that season rained goals from start to finish..happy days.

I was there but I remember I was close to missing it. About an hour before kick off I was still trying to sort something out on my car. Somehow sorted it and got there at last minute. Would have been gutted to have missed it.

I brought a work colleague to this. His first ever football match was earlier in that week when he was taken to Scum v Southampton (think it was the Saints). It ended 0-0. He said he was sat there bored for most of the match.

I suggested he came to Maine Road for the Huddersfield match. He did and the rest is history...

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

I was on the Kippax and your right the crowd was a poor attendance but everyone you talk to say they were there.

 

[the goats backside]

It was the first game i took my son to

 

[york away to this!]

I was away at college, listened on the radio before going out probably to the students union followed by a ropey club - cant recall whether there was any celebratory student girl action though.....

 

[Impeccable]

I remember Huddersfield wearing that monstrosity of a kit. They also had a few fair chances to take the lead before Neil McNab set us on our way.

Due to being fiscally bereft, I had the choice of the top of the table City/Boro midweek game or the lowly Huddersfield game at the weekend.

I saw Andy Hinchcliffe score a blinding free kick.

I stood incredulous in Ladbrokes that weekend as I overheard the following conversation:

Punter 1: "have you seen that? City's 4-0 up at half time!"

Punter 2: "4-0 up? eee are luv, think your half time score screen's fucked."

And the the goals continued to fly in.

 

[nedums noodles]

yes i was there!!....my most memorial day as a kid watching city...who else was a junior blue back in the day??

I had a similar choice. Impoverished student down south - decided I could only spare the money and time (it was a 7 hour journey each way, with changes at Peterborough and Nuneaton) to travel back to Manc for one November Saturday home game. There was the Huddersfield match or Brum a fortnight later. I opted for Brum. We ended up winning 3-0 and, as someone was reminiscing further up the thread, Paul Stewart scored a cracker. Normally you'd be chuffed to bits with that, but I didn't half regret not making the other choice!

 

[the kippax wall]

Haha, proper nightmare with this game. I was a skint trainee motor mechanic at the time and really on the bones of my arse. Anyroad, I managed to get a foreigner working on a clapped out old mini. To my eternal regret I decided to do something I had never done before or since and lob the game in and work on that on the day of the match. Not only that, I dropped my brother and future to be wife and her dad on Platt Lane.
I remember the day well, working in the pissing down rain on a wanked out shitheap of a car and hearing 'It's a goal' time after time on Piccadilly Radio. And it's fair to say,later that night I got absolutely slaughtered by the lads for not going.
But as a typical blue I've managed to witness all the shite that followed for years until recently.... CITY 'TILL I DIE...

It was a right fuck up was this one. I think I only missed three games that season but my non-league team at the time, St. Helens Town, who were then the FA Vase holders, had their first defence of the trophy away to Rainworth Miners Welfare and I opted to go to that one instead. It's the only home game I've ever regretted missing.

I was in the North stand with me grandad.
