Where were you when...

I was in a service station en route to Cardiff when it was announced that Franny Lee had taken over.
We lost and it was pissing down. Us away fans were in an open end when all three home stands were covered.
 
Nov 96. I'd just nipped into a sandwich shop in Wilmslow, got back in the van and this rag I had to work with was sat there with a big grin on his face saying that Coppell had quit (after 33 fuckin days) and Phil Neal was caretaker manager.
i really thought he was on the wind up till he put the radio on. I couldn't fucking believe it. If things hadn't been awful before it was apocalyptic now.

The fat **** just sat there laughing his head off all the way home saying what a joke we were.
He was right of course. I had no comeback. I couldn't even muster a pathetic "you're club's not even in Manchester".

I bump into him from time to time now. He never stops long to talk though.

Funny that. :)

Dennis Law back heeled in 1974?

I was very fortunate to be there and witness the pitch invasion and the greatest relegation ever. I dream of a repeat in my lifetime.

Weird to read this in these days with the joe hart thing. Law played in Torino for one season in the early 60s and here he is still remembered as a great player. He came with another british, Joe Baker (less skilled) and one night they crashed the car cause they were drunk...because of that they became the stereotype of the british people too much used to alcohol.
I signed today to post in the joe hart's topic and then I discovered this section of the forum that is really the most interesting. It's so important to never forget from where we come from. Cheers.

Rip Ninian Park, what a great old shitty ground that was! :-)



i was there that day as a rather scared 20yr old kid who was in the home end but wanted the away team to win! On the plus side though, i stayed dry.

I was almost in line with curles disallowed goal and he was never bloody offside in a million years.

i was 7 months old but i do remember it being shown on news at ten as i was suckling my mothers breast.
 
25th September 1985 at Gigg Lane... Bury vs. City.
I was in my Mothers Victorian style Pram all nice and cosy.
I can't remember much about the match as I was only 6mths old but apparently this was my first Away Day :D

I've been to plenty of away days since and I still can't seem to remember many of them for some damn reason.
I think it's something called Alcohol?? that seems to creep into my Milk Bottles that may be the problem.

At the Swamp going absolutely berzerk, one of, if not THE best away game ever - hoping for the same next weekend ;-)

Same here. But in the stretford end. I'll be watching this derby from thousands of miles and several times zones away.

On Saturday 14 July 2007 I was driving my Vauxhall Vectra (later to be stolen off my path and never recovered) in a southerly direction down Kingsway. As I was passing the allotments (later to become a tram station) just before Parrs Wood, it was announced on GMR (later to become BBC Radio Manchester) that City had signed none other than Gelson Fernandes.

Where were you at other equally critical moments in the history of our illustrious boys in blue?

Laughed at loud at this.very dry OP.

Watching City v Bayern in a bar in Barcelona when the poisoned dwarf refused to warm up.
Was on holiday in Mexico when the poisoned dwarf handed in a transfer request.
