Remember Bradford 87 (yes 87)?

[Winchester]

I was there too
Remember Paul Stewart heading a better at our end
2nd half

 

[Winchester]

10-1just after.

Yes courtesy of Potter's Tours Gaz we went on a Bus from Stewarts
God knows how we got up the hill near Cricklade near the ground

Didnt City win two in a row 4-2, and Swindon 4-3 , all away /

Yep, I couldn't make the Bradford trip .... but i was at Swindon, that was a good match too.

I was there at Valley Parade with a few mates. Oh what a night! Paul Stewart particularly and David White were on fire with their pace and strength. I can still picture Stewart speeding towards us and finishing to make it 4-2. He was really good one on one. My glasses went flying a few yards forward onto the terrace as we bounced up and down for that 4th goal! We knew we had won then after so long. One of my most memorable away days because it broke the winless run and the spectacular nature of it.

We had to run for our train at Bradford and across platforms at Leeds for our connection home. Remember being quite out of breath! Happy days.

I was there, hazy memory of blues being everywhere and a huge following despite us not winning away for ages. It was almost as if the longer the winless run went on more people wanted to travel so they could say they were there.

I wasn’t there, still too young, but I have heard stories, and this being highlighted brings to mind the increasing attendance (often by non-citizens that have come from abroad) of San Marino games as their record international losing streak continued on… until recently.

Looks like there were more at this one than York?
I had to watch it on CeeFax.

At the time was a great result, definitely was there and I’m sure we went in a lada with Dunc Golding, Lee Hulme, Paul Newton, all Cheadle lads.

 

[colinthewindowcleaner]

Sure I was there, one memory was that they kept us in then turned the bloody lights off as we were trying to get out of our stand down a metal and concrete staircase. Thought that was a bit daft at the time !

 

[AsaMac]

I was there too!! There was no sense of entitlement back then. When a win comes out of the blue, it’s sooo much more exciting.
It’s what keeps fans supporting poor sides up and down the country.

Strange how the attendance was higher in 87-88 than the crucial promotion decider the following season when City could easily have taken 10,000+ if allowed
Instead the West Yorkshire Police did everything in their powers to stop us from attending.
It's almost as though there had just been a football tragedy and they were still blaming the travelling supporters

Think us being top of the league back then helped season after fell back down to our normal crap standard.

I actuallý went through one of our programmes at the start of the season and the club was over the moon at selling 2k season tickets !!!!!!!!!

Still great days glad i lived through it despite how crap my teamis and still are .............remember coming over to Maine Rd think it was the spurs games 1989 1-1 ...........cheap train ticket, paying in on the gate ........the amazing thing of getting the pink after the game and being totally blown at the technology of a full match report and the full time score init after ...............i know your club have gone on to better things and time has moved on but thank god i saw them days as well
