Yes mate 3rd Tier just behind the goal, was miserable, people kicking off left right and centre, ranks as one of the worst games I've ever had the displeasure of attending..!

I'd rather have sat among Wigan fans that day.
We have lost every time I have been in the lower tier. While we have lost only once when I have been sat in the 3rd tier. Third tier from now on for me. Got to admit, I can only remember the atmosphere being horrible against Wigan.
Upper tier against Sunderland had around 50 Sunderland fans sat together (not sure which wanker in the club allowed our tickets to end up in their hands but hey ho) they celebrated when they took the lead and it kicked off. Believe it kicked lower tier against Liverpool for similar reasons. Have seen a few blues scrapping too over the standing/sitting. Games kicking off at 4.30 when people have been on the lash all day are risky!

I missed any kerfuffle involving Sunderland fans. But then I missed Yaya's goal as having a wizz. Missed a lot that day!
Yeah, I don't like the late afternoon kick offs because the proportion of people who are blitzed. When we played United at Wembley in 2011 (think it was 5.30 KO), the number of people who were smashed was unbelievable. People being dragged up Wembley Way and around the stadium. They missed out on a great day :)

If we are counting non-City matches, I can add the following:Every City visit since Wolves in 74.
Plus 4 Ingerlund games and Latics v Palace in the 1990 League Cup final.
1966 World Cup Semi-final England v Portugal. I had a ticket for the final but we were off on holiday to Italy the day after the SF.
1968 European Cup United v Benfica. I bet some of the Rags that I could get a ticket for the final. We wrote to Benfica with an international money order asking for six tickets. We received four. I was right behind the goal when Eusebio missed a sitter with five minutes to go at 1-1. That was a real sickener!
I think Wigan final is the most bladdered I have seen City fans as a collective. Got to London around midday and people were already fucked with crates under their arms. Fucking pissed it down, heard Mancini was a gonner and then the team put in the most atrocious performance possible. City fans kicking off with each other all over the place.I missed any kerfuffle involving Sunderland fans. But then I missed Yaya's goal as having a wizz. Missed a lot that day!

Sorry a bit off topic but did I read somewhere that the WC semi was changed from Goodison as England ended up in the wrong half of the draw?If we are counting non-City matches, I can add the following:

I think that was the case. I went to both semis. It was West Germany against the USSR at Goodson, the day before the England-Portugal match, but had to buy a ticket outside at face value.Sorry a bit off topic but did I read somewhere that the WC semi was changed from Goodison as England ended up in the wrong half of the draw?
We had season tickets for all the NW group matches plus the Goodson QF (North Korea v Portugal) and SF. That got us into Wembley for the England-Portugal SF so it must have been switched.
We subsequently won the draw for final tickets but were off to Italy and watched it in a bar near Venice crammed full of Germans.
