Was there ever a blue that attended matches at Hyde Rd, Maine Road and Etihad

[Cassandra]

As I've posted on the other Hyde Road ground thread, my Dad attended all three grounds with his only visit to the Etihad being an England Iceland game where City supplied the keepers at both ends of the pitch. He attended Maine Road for the Stoke cup tie where 84,000 (plus a lot who climbed over the walls he said) attended whilst I went to the Swindon game where I think perhaps folk were climbing over the walls to get out!

That’s fantastic. He must have been one of a handful (if that) of blues to have achieved this. I’ll bet the swapping of grounds every few years drove him mad!

Hardly likely we have a fan born in 1923 now... just glad we have our 'istory to keep those connections going. Well, since 2008 anyway.

My Dad was born in 1926, and is still very much alive. He had to go into a care home last August,but is doing ok in there and is very popular with the care staff.
The last City match he attended was the FA Cup Final vs Stoke City in 2011.

Didn’t they interview an old lady on the big screen at the new ground who’d been to all three grounds, I think she was with her sister, proper pair of characters they were.

Yes,I was also at the Swindon game just over 8,000.People forget we also had another 8,000 League gate that season.

Didn’t Pep bring them onto the pitch?

We must have been playing particularly badly that game.

I just reread my message and didn't mean it negatively. I should have said there aren't many 100 year old Blues. Fair play too them all. Long live all Blues. I bet the more senior fans have stories we can't match.
