Was gutted to miss that one. Was in the Army, based in Southampton and 3 Blues got a lift from a yid who was going up to Stoke. Took so long, we hit Stoke at 2pm and were never going to get train connections to make the game. Had a few pints and all got City tattoos. Watched the final score in a tv rental shop window, then met the spurs fan at his car. Stopped off at Oxford for more beer. One of us had a bad pint and just before we got through the door, he puked on the other lad who was holding the door open. The smell hit him and he puked too. We missed a memorable match, but as usual following City especially away, still made memories.

Just watched it: Jimmy Frizzell having a ciggy in the dug out.
Remember when you could pay at the turn-style, there were two types, correct money only and the other for people that didn't have the correct change.just came across these by accident.
apologies if already posted.
Typically, if you didn't have the correct money you had to join the longer turn-style queue not the very short correct money only queue and eventually when you did get to the cashier the first question he asked would be have you got the correct change?

I remember getting kicked out of a derby match when we got back into first division and gave the bloke on turnstile a quid and he let me jump back over

The kippax was the most unbelievable all consuming thing..I don't know how else to describe it..it to me as a 16 year old had an aura.
It's was truly amazing..I was a young lad from buxton.and met some mates who were from Burbage.
Levenshulme.
Denton etc I thought it was cool as fuck to meet them..we're still mates now.
One of them knew tony mccarroll who was in oasis
Obviously early oasis days .but she got me tickets to oasis.
Me and my mates watched that band all over the country..because of me becoming mates with them oasis became a massive part of my life .
I remember when Liam said they would be the biggest band in the world.
Love them or hate them they were.
And that's how I think about what city have done under pep.
I always dreamed we could be the best team in the world..and we were ..so thanks to city.
The kippax and me meeting them lot..who if they're on here they know who they are..at the side of the tunnel next to the away fans.
But thanks to them..I've lived my dreams
My team have been the best ever.
And my band have or were the best .
Well in my eyes they were..I'm so glad I'm old enough to say I stood on the kippax.
Compared to football now it's like watching a different sport.
Or even living a different life .what a place..I remember fa cup 4th round I think it was against Barnsley.
I climbed up a post or something and looked across the kippax it was amazing..thanks to my old man taking me to city..once a blue always a blue
