Re: Were you at these iconic games?

Didn't see that many of the dick wavers at home to Mansfield in the Micky Duck auto whatever it was called cup either ...

We went in hospitality for the Mansfield game.

All except no.1 for me. I don't wave my dick around though as it is quite small and I'd just be embarrassed.

Ha ha, same here - I and about 50 others from the Leve branch were up in the third tier of the Kippax that night. I remember being told by a jobsworth steward to sit down when I tried getting a "Stand up if you love City" chant going!

Proper Loyalty Test - were you at these?

Any glory hunter can attend a promotion decider or cup final. The true test of loyalty is whether you were there when things went tits up. So I've compiled ten of our recent(ish) away games which have become iconic for the wrong reasons. Can anyone get close to 10/10?

Shrewsbury 0-2 1979
Halifax 0-1 1980
Brighton 1-4 1982
Derby 0-6 1989
United 0-5 1994
Liverpool 0-6 1995
Lincoln 1-4 97
Darlington 1-1 1998
York 2-2 - 1998
Boro 1-8 - 2008

I've had more hits on this bad list than the happy one.

Thank You Peter Swales without you it wouldn't have been possible.

Surprised the Stoke away game didn't get thrown in there
