Largest Away Following

[Man_City_Loyal]

On a serious note....they have no idea how many blues are at Stockport County aways as turnstile blokes were taking cash and blues climbing over wall.

that doesn't surprise me :-D

I was at that one. Seem to remember we had about 10,000 there out of a crowd of around 22k?

A few that didn’t make it to the ground as well.

Leeds FA Cup 77/78 or Everton FA Cup 81. The days when terracing was jam packed and for both games City had upper tiers behind the goal too as well as terracing up to the halfway line on one side. Some old skool Leeds lads will say they think it was the biggest away following they ever had at Elland Road

Leeds aways 77 and 78 were amazing

The roars in the second half sound like it’s a City home game. At 3:40 you can see the camera pan across the stand on the far side and it’s all City fans.

My Dad got filled in and had to go to hospital at one of those games at Elland Rd.

Remember in the programmes on the results/fixtures page, it always had how many we took and how many came to our place. Mostly limited by ticket sales though so no standouts. Who brought the most to us? Obviously United would bring a lot generally. Sunderland when they got relegated was a big turnout though.

Sunderland 1991 I reckon.

At 6.13 you can see the referee make the world's first VAR square TV hand signal as he awards their penalty.

The other thing about this that was pointed out to me yesterday about this game is that Tueart and Bell have the 76/77 closed collar shirts on while the rest of the team have that season's (77/78) open V neck shirts on.

Not for numbers this one (it was just the usual full end), but there were Blackburn fans saying after this game that it was the best atmosphere they’d ever heard from visiting fans to Ewood.

Are you sure about Newcastle? I’m not saying you’re wrong but my recollection is we had just a couple of half full pens in the corner. The Newcastle end was getting dangerously full and their fans started spilling on to the edge of the pitch. The old bill in their wisdom decided to let them go in the City end, as that was the only part of the ground with a bit of space. But on seeing what was going on all their firm came charging onto the pitch and dived in the City end. With predictable chaos ensuing.

That’s how I remember it anyway. I was in the small seating allocation right next door, watching on with interest.

That is exactly what happened

Talking of VAR

Blatant penalty for City and a Red Card for McQueen for twatting his own player

Was that the 4-0 game in the blazing Sun?
