Final offer on this subject .
My Mums sister Auntie Marie , was a war widow , she used to "mind bikes" at Thornton Road number 10 or 12 , the house that has been knocked down and rebuilt .
Her house backed on to the back car park of Main Road @ 3/4 time the big wooden gates used to open and i and other kids would run in and up the rear open concrete staircase .
To look down on to the pitch and see the grass was amazing and the 1000,s and 1000s of people , it was just amazing again minimum 58 years ago .
Believe me you did not se much grass in ladybarn .
The final "best day as a City fan" learning to ride Cousin Dereks BSA C15 again on the back car park of Maine Road @ maximum 12 years of age , again memorys that so so clear in my mind .
Football pink and the football Green on a Saurday night .
Pink and Green "toilet squares" on a Monday through the string , boy you have never lived .
Finally Mrs Elsie Revie my schoolteacher bringing Don Revies cup final medal into my primary school ( Mauldeth Road ) .
Sorry i will stop know .

Re: Your best day as a City fan??
Great day, just stood there watching Paul Powers free kick coming towards me, thought it was going to be stopped until it hit the backof the net<br /><br />-- Fri Nov 16, 2012 7:12 pm --<br /><br />FA Cup semi final, great day all round and best described by my 11 year old nephew when he was asked to tell what he did at the weekend when he got back to school.
His answer "I had the best day of my life!!"
CITY FOR LIFE said:Sat opp the Holt end when we scored in the FAC Semi Final v Ipswich Town, priceless watching half the Holt End full of City Fans going mad.

Ladybarn they are great memories.
For me there are 3 -
- 1976 in the Newcastle end going crazy with my mother when Tueart scored, the Geordies were quite ok about it
- Bell's return in late 70's, the roar from the Kippax when he appeared at half time the loudest noise ever at a City game
- When Edin got the equaliser against QPR i just felt we would go on to win

Had loads and loads of good days, supported city all my life I was there at the Cup Final Vs Newcastle I was there Vs Gilligham , I was there Vs QPR, but I believe this, the best days are to come so hold on to your hat and enjoy the ride.
If I had to put a best day on it it so far I would say taking my son to his first City game.
