Read somewhere about Middlesbrough fans complaining about getting dogs' abuse from the terraces when visiting Maine Rd (not in the ground - the surrounding streets)

dogs abuse from the terraces in the streets?

Which game is that for? In my head the queue used to go the other way, past the Main Stand

thats the back of the queue ha all the way round the ground. (maybe = disclaimer)

You missed out "clutching our envelopes containing carefully cut out vouchers from home games, and front covers of away programmes"

Happy times.

As I recall, the replay was memorable only because of Harry Dowd's great save from Alex Young. Or was it Jimmy Gabriel?

We'd have won the cup in 65/66 if we'd beaten Everton. One of my favourite City seasons ever.

No vouchers were needed before the final. I had cut the voucher out of the home programme or even the team sheet for reserve matches for years. I always bought two programmes each match, back then, one to cut the voucher from and one to keep.

I never got to use the voucher sheet until 1968-9 and then needed them for three years in a row.

It wasn't exactly pretty for the 90 minutes beforehand.

Worst day I've ever had watching City. Our last decade or so of glory has gone nowhere near wiping out my memory of that day.

Been meaning to post this. It’s on the wall in my in-laws’ house in Spain. They found it years ago in a car boot sale in Torrevieja and hung it in the spare bedroom we use when we visit!

Was it that game where they introduced id for away supporters about 90-91 time

Always thought that main stands roof lokked like a packet of fags. Woodbines in those days. Now its Senior Service all round.

Was that a night cup match, be late 70s? Was really hairy getting back to the station, rumours Chelsea had turned up. We drew down there, then drew at home, then beat them at the swamp in a second replay I think?

Worst day ever. Or Spurs. Nothing since comes remotely close. Nothing.

I haven't noticed it before but looking at that picture I find it pretty funny that the old main stand doesn't even cover the full length of the pitch!

2 Fags short of a full packet... Typical City!

Its asymetric, did they run out of money towards the end of building it?
