Lowest away following.

Chelsea in September 88 when away fans were banned. Not sure how many were there because keeping a low profile was the wise move .... which proved a challenge as we won 3-1.

I was there, in the 3 tier stand. We got sussed but the Chelsea fans were fine.

Back when FOCs were kids:
Bet there weren't many went to Plymouth on Boxing Day 1946, the day after City played them at home on Christmas Day.

Always wondered if anyone got to Southend for the famous F.A. Cup tie there in 1956 on the way to the Wembley victory.

Still my greatest BBC football radio commentary , FA cup at Roots Hall . Southend battered us on a mud heap but we snatched a 1-0 may have been Joe Hayes.

Not quite old enough for that one, but did go to Southend for a mid week league Cup match in 86. Very few blues there that night to see a complete shitter of a 0-0.

Beat them 2-1 in home leg

Yeah was at that too.
Always remember the away game as 3 of us had one of them 6 seater compartments on the train and my mate slept on luggage rack above the seats all the way back.

Kiev 2010, the night of Mario's allergy to grass, I read there were only around 150 of us at the game....and it was fooking freezing.

Think there were more there for that one than the second Kiev game.

Supporters were banned from attending and then the decision was reversed about 10 days before the game. No official trips.

A couple of friendlies. Wrexham away on a monday afternoon, maybe 30-40 City, with a few neanderthals waiting outside, but we didnt have anyone looking for trouble.
Charleroi away, we were awful, got beat, probably 100 City, of which 15 or so had been battling with their mob before and after. Charleroi are no shrinking violets either, so fair play to em.

8,800 attendance.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

OT in 73, Easter Saturday a really poor turnout one pen in the scoreboard. Nited could have murdered us if they could have been bothered mercifully didn't see any mither. Only been back for RL.

 

[ysmsa]

Rags at the Etihad the other week, second half that is.

 

[radcliffe1309]

Went to Macclesfield for a pre season friendly in 74 or 75 maybe, considering it was literally up the road there wasn't many of us at the game.....maybe a couple of hundred at most

My first London game, Arsenal away 79 / 80. In the Clock End. The left hand corner (looking at the pitch) was the ''official away end'' but no segregation. Hard to tell how many there were as I suspect, like the 30 odd on our coach, we were all plain clothed and as it was a 0-0 draw, there was no jumping up and down as if we had scored, but I suspect there were not too many more Blues there.

The season we went down in 1983, would have been March or April, we got leathered 4-0 at The Dell, with a decent following, but the following week we played Swansea away. Less than 200 there in the away end and another 4-0 tonking. It was the day our loyalty was tested and the resulting ''It's not funny anymore'' chant rang out.

What years were both games?

I was there! Jimmy Frizzell's first game as manager and David White's debut (from the bench)

Ended up a friend day due to police dogs getting most in a coral.

Is it possible to have a translation for this line?

Is it possible to have a translation for this line?

The City group were detained and didn't get to the match. City were relegated and the West Ham support clapped us in the ground. If the detained group had made it may have been less friendly.
