What is the daftest thing you've seen at a City match?

[dickie davies]

The lad in the bogs who looked for somewhere to place his beer whilst he had a piss and settled on putting it under the urinal he was about to use

Here's one I was actually responsible for and not exactly that proud of :)
I threw a crutch at the ref v Huddersfield in the cup game, the funny thing was it missed by a whisker and he picked it up gave it to a copper and he brought it back to me !!!

That’s part of City folklore! I wasn’t at the game but heard about it.

I know the games changed - but there is no way they would do that now. Literally stood watching blanket fog with a whistle sound now and again.

My mate was at the Swindon-Crewe game on Saturday. Pinged me a photo asking me what the score was as they couldn't see a thing!

After winning the league a few years ago we played Huddersfield at home where we were going to lift the trophy. Sat in East Stand Lower facing directly into the sun. Temperature in the mid 30s at least. Club decide to then charbroil us by setting off flame throwers as the players came out! People passing out left right and centre!

Lost me 2 eyebrows that!

A pelican on the Platt Lane Stand roof, it was acutely taking time to watch the football. And no it didn't come from Chester Zoo as quoted, it had flown from Platt lane pets corner after it managed to escape.

Adebayor.

Some bloke at West Brom on Boxing Day a few years ago who must have got into a bit of a blue on blue scuffle on the concourse and was chasing a lad who had splattered a meat and potato pie all over his face!

 

[Nevizade]

The guy who used to wave a rubber chicken around his head in the Umbro Stand at Maine Road

Sure I heard he was at it at HT in that Stoke game after Christmas in 98/99 and it started that ridiculous run. Basically saved the club.

I've made my mark lol

Some bloke being carried in a paddling pool by four mates, joining in an inflatable punch up at West Brom

and being chased by an inflatable shark

That might be right. Fans were singing “Chicken is a City fan” to him apparently. Without that bird we might be stuck in the lower divisions forever.

I remember it. It came from the seats. Shortly before Gidman’s equaliser I think.

 

[meeesh]

Bernie Clifton running on pitch with that ostrich he was connected to many years ago at Maine Road, I was only a kid but remember laughing like fuck

 

[stan bowles]

Corrigan stuck in the mud v West ham when the ball went in the net

For me, a worse blunder by Joe than that was in the FA Cup vs Sunderland in 1973 at home when he took a free kick from inside his area, had to re-take it on the ref's instruction and then completely failed to see or avoid Horswill who stuck it away.

Jamie pollocks own goal against York
Took it like Niall Quinn

Was against QPR, if I remember correctly (although, I have tried to forget it ever happened!).

Snowball fight at stoke.
Joe Hart Vs pigeon
Alan coming on as sub and city players getting booed when they tried to tackle him.

Yep I was 2 rows from the front, wasn't even my crutch I just lost it when the ref sent Mcnab off and I grabbed the persons crutch sitting next to me and flung it ......

There’s posh.

That balloon goal at Bramhall Lane in the cup was pretty fucking daft. Tal Ben Haim is a strong contender aswell.
