Be grateful you didn't get in the City end, that paddock behind the goal was absolutely rammed, one of the few times I've been worried about getting crushed.Not the best day and not quite Boxing Day either but certainly memorable. 27 December 1976 when we won 2-0 away at Leeds. My mate and I missed the first goal because every time we got through the queue to the actual turnstile it slammed shut in our faces because it was full.
Turnstile by turnstile we worked our way around the ground in increasing desperation until we saw an emergency door open where the police were "escorting" one or two fans out of the ground. In the melee we dived through the door and mingled into the crowd which turned out to be the home end. Just as Kiddo scored our second.
We lasted for about 10 minutes before being escorted out ourselves. Happy days.

Me too. I hadn't realised until recently that we played Middlesbrough the following day. And 9 of the 11 who finished the Newcastle game, including King Colin, started at Ayresome Park.The Return Of The King for me.

Yes I remember that match with a rare hat trick from Matt Gray and a less surprising one from Jim Murray. Murray also scored three in the previous 6-1 win against Rotherham.Us older Blues will remember Boxing Day 1963 beating Scunthorpe 8-1.
In fact the full Xmas period was full of goals that season.
City won the away return at Scunthorpe 4-2, with Murray scoring two, a couple of days later making it seven wins and a draw in eight matches.
City then proceeded to lose their next five matches! That left City out of the FA Cup and killed off any lingering chances of promotion.

1977, The Return of the King, that is all.
A 2 0. Win? the walk back to the Finglands coach was most unpleasantMe too. I hadn't realised until recently that we played Middlesbrough the following day. And 9 of the 11 who finished the Newcastle game, including King Colin, started at Ayresome Park.
