Semi v Them

[laserblue]

On the way down on our coach we saw shed loads of City cars and coaches, only saw one car and one rag coach til Birmingham.

Walking back home from the coach about 02.00 pissed up there was someone on a bridge threatening to jump in Chadderton, the cops weren't too happy with us calling him a rag and a chicken shit.

At the roundabout, which was the end of the route from Manchester, there were endless numbers of City coaches, minibuses, cars and vans and only a couple of rag coaches and cars. The City vehicles were loudly cheered and the rags abused including one rag in his open top car who ended up drenched in beer.

My first time at the new Wembley and went by coach. The City coach park was full and around 50 City coaches were parked around the United end due to their being that many more City coaches than Utd.
I knew this wouldn't be good after the game whether we won or lost and there was trouble before cutting across them.
I had my Wife and lad with me and after the match I went up a ramp that I shouldn't have and ended up walking down Wembley way on the United side with the nursery rhymes in my ear.
My wife's and lads colours were covered so we didn't get sussed as bottles and coins were flying.
I said to look pissed off so we didn't get sussed as being City.
We managed to cut back and get to the coach and the other jubilant blues.
The best part of the day was our coach pulling alongside the United players coach.
Three City coaches had them boxed in, one infront one behind and ours alongside , we gave them dogs abuse as the windows were right alongside each other about 10 inches apart.
I'll never forget Rio and Evras faces like thunder. Ferguson then ordered the lights to be turned off in their coach so we couldn't see them.

Brilliant !! We just beat them at Wembley and they have to sit in the dark surrounded by blues :)

One of my best days following City

When we scored a bloke near me sat down, pulled his coat over his head and sat like that for the rest of the match.

I was booked on the last train from Kings Cross to Leeds, not much more than an hour after the game, So as soon as the final whistle went I legged it, stupidly heading down Wembley Way. There was me, another dozen or so City fans and about 30,000 United fans. After being kicked a few times I decided I wasn't in such a rush to catch the train. So made my way over to where about 6 coppers were stood. Eventually they pulled out their truncheons and cracked a few heads which was quite entertaining. Not so enjoyable was seeing City fans with blood on their faces, carrying crying kids. After a while a few police on horses turned up and drove off the United fans.

Once saw that after a derby at Maine Rd. City fan pouring in blood with two kids, one on each hand, crying.

Fantastic day.

The only problem with it was that it made the final a month later seem an anti-climax in comparison.

It was great seeing half of Wembley full and half completely empty at the end of the game.

Since that day I've always regarded the Semi as 'The Final'. I was sitting on the front row by the corner flag where Yaya and the team charged over after he scored. I've got a cracking photo which now goes on my season card. Great Day!!

Gave my lad my final ticket as nothing...NOTHING...could take that feeling away from me on that day. Years and years and years of goading, smartarsery and being talked down to by part time plastics. That moment when I knew that my son would realise that the tears I shed that day were for all CITEH fans.

one of things i remember the most was the lad next to me drunk as anything, got out a joint and started smoking it when we scored, no stewards anywhere in site

Sorry for posting this in here - seemed the most relevant place as I can't start threads as yet.
I've been trying to find a list with our results for the FA cup win and our 2 prem wins. I'm trying to get some stuff framed and put on the wall.
any help greatly appreciated. I've tried City and the FA but no luck.
Cheers.
