Buying a chip butty outside the ground and asking for it on a muffin, ;) Nah, standing in the Kippax, and walking up Lowthorpe street, going into the tunnel, and seeing the pitch come into view!
Good times, RIP main road!

Sitting on the tops of the exits from the kippax as a kid when it was standing, standing up on it when we scored and shitting myself at the potential drop when my dad let go to celebrate. Actually falling off the top of the exit only to land like spiderman perfectly unharmed and then run back up to get back on.
Getting seperated from my dad after a night match, was only about 8, was crying my eyes out, steward took me inside the main stand had a mini tour of the changing rooms etc ended up in a room where loads of people was having an after match meal. Got to meet kinkladze and give him his man of the match champers then got a photo with him and signed programmes etc, ended up having the time of my life whilst my dad was running around like a mad man looking for me.

Another memory I have is eating fish and chips from City Chippy during my dinner hour,sat in the Platt Lane Stand watching the builders in the Kippax starting work on the new stand. It didnt seem like they were getting anywhere in the time i was there .

________________
Re people on about the abandoned match v Ipswich.
There were 2, that's the weird thing, the 2 most recent abandoned matches were both against ipswich - one under Brian Horton in late 1993 (and yes Ingebrigtson scored his first for us i think), and then years later we played Ipswich in the league cup QF (can't remember the year - maybe 2002?) and that was abandoned too.
We won the replay for the 93 one, but lost the QF.
So maybe that's why you guys are disagreeing about the dates - cos you forgot there was 2!
As for Maine Road memories, i love that place so much i don't know where to start, it's my life and i miss it every day if i'm honest.
