Ahhhh, the annual York away thread. That season was hilarious, terrifying and just rather odd in every way. Clearly I was one of the 387,000 that made the pilgrimage that day...

It was nearer to 400,000 if you don't mind, you're forgetting those that had tickets for the home end!!

I was the only City fan not at that match.
No yer weren't! There were thousands of us nowhere near. But I did see Swindon at home! Lowest crowd ever at Maine Road. Always beats York away.

I'm really shocked that nobody has mentioned the 10,000 at maine road watching it on a massive tv screen situated on the pitch facing the Kippax.

I was at Wrexham, Colchester and Jamaica at home but not York City. There was a real racial undertone (against City fans) at the Jamaica match in the North Stand.

I took my girlfriend at the time to Chesterfield at home and had front row seats in the north stand. It was her first football match ever and we was looking for our seat numbers when I turned round and noticed she'd disappeared. She'd only wandered off in the direction of the Chesterfield end and was ready to sit with them when I shouted her back. If i remember rightly we sang 'you can stick your fuckin spire up your arse ' to the away fans.

Mansfield! Auto W Cup! Swindon must have been the lowest league attendance!

I think you are correct Swindon was the lowest league attendance. Surprised there were so many there as we were playing particularly shit at the time, there was also a bus strike and it was pouring down. It was the season before Mercer and Allison arrived.
I remember we lost 2-1 with Alan Oaks scoring for us, Mike Summerbee got one if theirs. My mate said at the game that the Summerbee fella looked quite useful.

for the two fans who didnt attend the game.......
Are you serious? All I can remember was getting a little high from the waves of ganja smoke weaving up the North Stand.I was at Wrexham, Colchester and Jamaica at home but not York City. There was a real racial undertone (against City fans) at the Jamaica match in the North Stand.
York away - there were a lot of spares available - people expected that (as usual) there would be demand on the day so came with mates' tickets and couldn't shift them.
Didn`t attend that game,but was there in about 1974 ? when the 3 day week was on and we played them on a Wednesday afternoon at about 2.00 pm,in the League Cup.
I also didn't attend that game but I was there also in the League Cup game. I remember my mates Dad driving us up there, it was November 1973......43 years ago!!
That was the season we lost in the final against Wolves.
