Great atmosphere created on the Kippax from both sets of fans that night. One of my favourite away days. Mind you, me mate had a half full can of lager stotted off his head from the City ranks near the end. Remember the City fans singing "shit on the Geordies, shit on the Geordies tonight" - must've been before the Mackem label surfaced.
 
Through all the shit we have witnessed over many years, it is games and memories like this that make it all seem worthwhile {sorry to disappoint you gray matter old bean}. The elation felt walking out of the ground to the car was tremendous.
 
A blood curdling roar was heard from my room in my lodgings in London. The family downstairs thought I had been murdered. No , I said when I saw them, we just beat Man City 4_1.
 
Remember that evening so well ,remember discussing the game with a workmates of mine who hailed from Manchester .He said to me the trouble with City was that they were Mal (Allison) adjusted
 
was in the main stand opp the kippax with me fatha and his mancunian mate, was only a youngun.
only thing i can remember about it was the unusual roof....
 
Was there a stabbing that night. Or was it City away circa that era. Certainly remember it happening. We were parked by the side of a rugby field.

I have the programme from that match - and also the programmes from every other away game that season.
 
Was at the game , got in mates car after match and got out of Moss side , stopped at pub and watched Match of the Day or perhaps Midweek match. Showed highlights and league table with us top, happy days the type of thing that keeps us all supporting them through thick and thin
