Thats why she was named n shamed
I was one of those who walked round the pitch before and at half time selling drinks crisps and sweets. The employer was stadia catering. It was the only way I could watch City without having to pay. You got 10p for every pounds worth you sold. It wasn't for the money although it helped, it was just to watch the match and be so close up to the players. Denis Tueart was substituted one match and I made my way to the tunnel. I asked him as he came off for his tie ups which if you remember were just bandages. He gave them to me and I wore them for the next school match. I told everyone they were Dennis Tuearts but know one believed me.Sitting on the white wall as a kid right at the front. Someone walked along selling hotdogs and drinks at half time.
Always remember when young the season ticket had a number on the brick entrance each game. Was always random order needed tearing out the book.
On the Monday after the Charlton game, i went into the office in Bradford and a colleague said to me "quite a business at City at the weekend" ."yes", i replied "it was totally mad, so happy to be back in the top division". He said "i meant at Bradford ". It was the day of the fire at Bradford. Totally ashamed, all i could think of was 5-0 and promotion.Was a regular in there from 72 when they seated the North Stand to 88 when I moved to the Main Stand. 94-96 back in the North Stand and 96-03 in the new Kippax.
Lots of memories of course; tearing AC Milan apart, the Charlton promotion game and going on the pitch afterwards, and beating both the rags and Boro 4-0 in the 75-76 League Cup. I know the rag game had awful consequences but nobody knew that as we celebrated stuffing them.

It was pretty much the only attempt we had on goal that day. It was absolute pandemonium when we scored. So against the run of play.
Anyone remember who got the assist?...
It was bloody freezing as well, to my memory?
Absolutely battered all match. I also have some (potentially unreliable) memory of Rush pretty much falling over the ball in front of an open goal.

Liverpool fail to break down City defence
Liverpool gained ten corners to City's one, but the most important statistic, of course, was the one goal City achieved in a game which saw Liverpool dominate from start to finish. Johnston and Nicol combined well on the right and MacDonald worked prodigiously in midfield. The Reds simply could not penetrate the City back four.
Clive Wilson scored for City after 61 minutes, the ball rebounding off Bruce Grobbelaar from a Davies shot. The score was against the run of play, but Liverpool's finishing was so inept that they hardly deserved to win, despite all their fluent approach work. The only consolation for Liverpool was Manchester United's 3-1 defeat at Goodison.

For me the Kippax was like a progression through life, a coming of age, milestones marked by where I stood and how I behaved.
In the late 50's up to the mid 60's used to stand with my dad in the scoreboard end until my dad decided I was old enough to graduate to the Kippax and go with my mates.
We started off sitting between the spikes on the wall at the scoreboard end of the Kippax before moving down to the front wall to get close to the pitch.
After leaving the snotty nosed kid stage I used to love running up the central steps to the back of the stand, then jostle around until we could get in a position to see anything of the pitch.
As a teenager always ended up in the same place about a third of the way down just to the North Stand side of the halfway line, always amazed me how we used to see the same faces all the time in such a huge area.
Eventually from the mid 70's on used to end up in a large group, drinking and smoking, which is how it remained until I eventually left the UK in the mid eighties.
So glad I went through that era and didn't grow up watching football in an all seater stadium.

Gordon? That's all the excerpt said.
Apparently, yes, Gordon Davies.
