Where were you on Sunday 30th May 1999 (Gillingham play off game?)

[Spurs quarter 69]

Due to the ludicrous ticketing cock up had to watch at my sisters in Cleveleys as they had Sky I didn't. Watched with my brother in law he's Rags and Blackpool, I'm City and Fleetwood, surprisingly we're friends. When the second goal went in he said " you could still do it we did the other night" I think my response was " f**k off you M****h bastard". He went off for a shower and heard me scream with joy as we equalised. He was really pissed off, I said what's the matter you said we could do it, I didn't bloody mean it said he. We were both out for a family meal afterwards I was pissed and over joyed, best of all he had to go through it all over again as we won at Blackburn twelve months later.

Wembley, then the night of all nights in London.

Ended up in The Moon Under The Water. No colours - so about a dozen of us had to buy "We Love London" tee-shirts to gain access. Got in to be greeted by a sea of "We Love London" tee-shirt clad Blues having a party.

Highlight of the night was clocking Gary Flitcroft walking through the door. He saw that we recognised him and asked us to keep a lid on it, as he was with his Mrs and didn't want a fuss. Needless to say, within 5 minutes he was being crowd surfed across the sea of "We Love London" blues, soaked in beer, having the time of his life. Not sure his Mrs particularly enjoyed it though.

Second only to Istanbul.

Top, top day.

If you mean JJ Moons, the big Wetherspoons in Wembley, that was some night in there. We ended up getting the tube down to Trafalgar Square and everyone was squirting each other with fire extinguishers. Then we were jumping in the fountains and singing City songs on the lions.

Wembley. what a day, what a great weekend

 

[HypnoticBlue]

I came out of Maximes in Wigan, absolutely off my trolley. Went back to my mates in Miles Platting and then got on a minibus to Wembley, from a pub in Limeside.
Great weekend.

Haha, I was at Maximes as well it was Back to the Old Skool.

At 2-0 down I saw my arse and went outside to wash my car, when somebody rang me asking why I wasn’t watching the exciting match, I told her to f*** off til she said it was 2-2 so I ran back in to watch the rest of the game.
If it wasn’t for that game I would’ve missed the Aguero moment 13 years later.

Wembley, my mate who has never left a game early before or since declared 'fucking typical City' and stormed out, so I did the same and we headed out, some poor Dad outside trying to console his crying child, got to top of Wembley way when the 'consolation' goal went in, checked the time and decided to carry on to the Tube, hafway own Wembley way we heard a cheer from the Tube station swiftly followed by a wave of fans running back towards Wembley.

Someone with a transistor radio confirmed the equaliser, so we hot footed it back. Some steward was standing there trying to stop re-entry until a rather large blue threatened to seperate his head from his shoulders, so we all piled back in and got back to our original seats for extra time.

Limbs when we won on pens, ended up 50 yards from where I was standing up, what a day.

At Wembley. Spat me dummy out at 0-2 and headed for the exit. Heard about Super Kev's "consolation" whilst walking down Wembley Way towards Wembley Central. When it was followed by a large cheer people though it was the final whistle! Made it back to my seat a couple of minutes into extra-time and the rest, as they say, is history (and a lesson learnt).

Yes mate, you certainly did, didn't realise you had posted on here as just posted the same thing.

Think I’ve told this story before but went with my old fella, my brother and my best mate.

When Dicko equalised, my dad (who had heart issues), went really pale after jumping around like a loon and looked as if he was on his way out. He pinched a coke out of some poor young lad’s hands in front of us and glugged the lot. The sugar rush somehow revived him and we were able to get through extra time and penalties.

On the train home my brother and mate were fast asleep (like loads were) and I said to dad, “ I thought you were toast there pal”, to which he replied, “me too son, but what a fuckin way to go”!!

Told this story at his funeral many years later and got a bollocking off the priest for swearing in church!! Worth it!!!

Still the best memory for me!!!

Wembley. Travelled down with two good mates, one who didnt have a tcket, and stayed at my then girlfriends flat in Archway, North London. Sat next to a bloke I knew from Wythenshawe who had a meltdown when their second goal went in, and said "I can't watch this sh*t anymore. I'm going" and walked out. He later told me he didn't know we had won until he bumped into some city fans at a service station halfway home.
It had been an awful week with that lot winning the treble and us struggling to get out of the third tier. When Dickov scored the equaliser I knew we had it in the bag.
