if you took that business proposal onto dragons den, how do you think you'd get on ?i agree. The lack of pubs around the ground is rubbish. I don’t know what people do around there at the weekend.there’s f all there, other then some shops, it’s such a dull area.
we could do with some wealthy city fans buying some land and opening up some proper pubs.
There are occasions where I have made it in time, but there’ve been a good half a dozen times we’ve missed the start of the game because we either couldn’t get a taxi, the taxi we did get got stuck in traffic, and one time the taxi got stuck behind a broken down Met (we missed the first 15 minutes of the game on that occasion, we got out and ran it).
So we leave Town earlier now, it’s not worth the risk.
A load of boozers close to the ground, so we could get in and around the ground early doors and not have to worry about being late, would be much better. As things are, there are too few pubs and they’re all rammed!
Yep.pac man scored his ever goal for bindippers.playing in the no.9 shirt.up front.young lad,obviously turned into a midfielder later yearsYeah the 2-1 win over Liverpool was a cracking atmosphere. It had the drama of a ‘Geoff Hurst’ type goal by David White (which took an age before it was given), the anxiety of Liverpool battering us for the last 20 minutes as Pacman and Mike Marsh dominated proceedings, and our record signing (Keith Curles) home debut.
That is a story with great memories , Remember the Burnley & Schalke & Milan games well.But nothing will ever beat The Kings comeback v NewcastleMy first thirty five years were at Maine Road therefore in 2038 (and age 79) I'll have spent equal time at each stadium. I don't think you can ever forget your first match. My memories of Maine Road were the hotdog vans, the tiny souvenir shop and Tony Coleman running towards me as I stood above a tunnel in the corner of the scoreboard end. The 7-0 win against Burnley helped too. The Kippax in full flow was a sight to behold, so many matches to remember. The King's comeback, AC Milan getting thrashed, Everton cup tie, Schalke and Charlton 5-1's and another 5-1 that escapes me right now.
My son had his first match in the North Stand aged 3, later sitting in the pathetic Swales stand for a season then the Kippax when seating put in. He did however get to stand on the Kippax before standing removed, how he loved it. My grandson however has only known the Etihad (as at 3 years old he had no choice). His first match aged 9 months? 7-0 v. Rotherham.
However, time moves on and the Etihad is now our home and how well we're doing. To sum up, I cannot choose between the two
Cheesy music played at ear splitting volume all the way to kick off is a personal bugbear. Let the rival fans at it 15 mins from kick offPrematch is very different.
We regularly, during the 90s, entered the Kippax, 1:30/1:45, to take our position up on crazy corner and already the singing would have started between ourselves, congregated above the white tunnel adjacent to the away fans section on the Kippax and the away fans. That side of the gane has definitely gone, now its turn up 5 mins before,
