[Kakhaber Tskhadadze K.O.T.A.]

Pre season 1996, City played in China. Only one of 3 games played due to a Monsoon.
City flew back early and made a hastily arranged friendly at Scarborough (which I went to).
However if I recall 3 Blues went to China.
Wilson (Jocky) Pratt was one of them and they got stuck there

10 of us Travelled to China - Jocky was with us - only 1 match got played due to the Monsoon - Tianjin v City (1-1 - City lost the penalty shootout on purpose as winning team won a car ) - due to the monsoon the pre-season was then cancelled so a few of us got the train to Hong Kong - 36 hours back then - Jocky headed off to Shanghai with a few of the others.

I can't remember any city aways where we've had a bad turnout.

I remember Swindon Town a fair few times at Maine Rd were subjected to the old 'you could have come on a skateboard' chant.

Still got the 'WWYWYWS' chant our way at their ground in the cup earlier this year.
No lads, where were YOU when we were shit?

I’ve never heard the “You could have come on a skateboard “ chant in 50 years.

One of the lowest away followings I can remember at Maine Rd was Everton straight after the Howard Kendall betrayal. Think they feared mither and they were right to fear it.

It was almost a year until we played them at home, and we were doing a lot better.

Was still a very small following as normally they brought thousands often far louder than Liverpool.

If memory serves me correct that was the game the following season we won 1-0. It was probably Evertons first away game and they brought thousands almost filling the Platt Lane end. Probably 5/6k.

Edit: Game in April still a decent following of 3-4k
