Seventeen years ago today...

Wigan away in 2006 was the real hard core following.

Never went to the York game.. Went to the pub instead but it was just me there, odd really..

 

[dickie davies]

I worked for a firm based in Leeds and one of the buyers was a York season ticket holder
He asked me if I wanted to go. I knew what awaited and tactfully declined thinking to myself "fuck that" and was really, really glad I didn't
Now I look back and wish I had have taken him up on the offer

 

[desperatedon]

I was there but was in the york end!

Yep, me and my mate were in there too, as were quite a few blues.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I wasn't gonna brag, Len, but I was one of the five!

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I was going to go but had tickets to Bill Clintons impeachment.

 

[Bluep*ss]

I love this thread - I wasn't there either , it was Morris Dancing night . Jingle Bells , Jingle Bells..............

 

[East Level 2]

I attended this one, for me an all time low and a home game aswell : http://bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/history/matches/Match.aspx?id=4347

Any of the York crew at this one ?

Yep, at both. In the seats down the side at York as we'd messed up getting tickets, and in the Kippax for Mansfield.
And I agree Lincoln was worse. As were the shithead police and stewards.

Deffo there with 2 brothers & 3 nephews in the open end.

What a cold,wet miserable day in every respect.

Curry in Huddersfield was a very solemn affair.

Next 2 games Sjoke & Wrecktam started the recovery & subsequent renaissance......it's always darkest before dawn !!

It is a bit tongue in cheek this thread but on a serious note the Stoke game a week or so later, in my eyes, was one of the most significant games in our modern history. Incredible to think what happened in a period of 17 years. Still that Stoke game is etched firmly in the memory
