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

Talking of Boro (even saying ‘Boro’ gives me an itch!)…

City battering the fuckers; hit the post, hit the bar, had two cleared off the line… Boro didn’t have a single shot neither on nor off target, then Sun Jihai passed the ball into our own net and Boro won 0-1.
Mental that...remember it....we had summat like 30 odd shots.
 
Anelka winner at Anfield and an ‘it means more’ fan ran on the pitch and tore up his season ticket book. Symbolic but for the fact it was their last home game of the season.

Also City ‘banning’ south stand season ticket holders for a game for persistent standing in rows of three in the Pearce days when didn’t win at home from Jan-May. Good timing really. But started at the back row rather than the front. So unless you stood, you couldn’t see. Dad banned and wasn’t even there. Turned out you could get in at other turnstiles though and they said it was a one game ‘re-location’
 
Away to Everton the toffee girls that walked around the pitch throwing Everton mints into the crowd got pelted with them back and to top it off forget who scored for us but someone threw their crutches at the lino for flagging it offside
 
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!
 
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 !!!
I was at that game and saw that happen. Very very funny
 
When I started reffing I was about to ref a Sunday morning league game. The secretary of one of the teams came up to me and asked if it was OK for 1 of the players to play with a cast and on. I said it was fine as long as it was padded. Imagine my shock when their keeper came on with a cast on his leg. Changed my earlier decision very quickly.
