Let me tell you kids a story.
when we played Liverpool in the 1981 League Cup Semi Final we were running a coach from our junior school. I was 11.
For two days before the game we all congregated in the school playground rehearsing City songs so we could lead the singing when we actually got to the game. We went through the whole repertoire and started making our own up too. We were buzzing. The thought of Maine Road echoing to our songs on the night was intoxicating. We practiced all the way there and were well rehearsed.
We sat in the Platt Lane and commenced our first song "We're going to win the cup". It was high pitched but we got it going. Do you know what happened next?
Yep, a bunch of hard lookingblokes in front turned round and laughed at us. We tried another and they told us in no uncertain terms to "shut the fuck up".
We were heartbroken.
