Nearly boiled at Wembley on that lovely day in May 87, secretly wearing the lucky thermal top from the 3rd round in January! It was worth it of course, how else were we going to win? Still got it somewhere I think, maybe it should get another run-out.

Well, a pair of lucky sky blue pants lost their unbeaten 12-game run yesterday. The question is – should I stay loyal and give them another chance for the next match (especially as they delivered a trophy last season), or be ruthless and bring in a different pair to replace them? Almost...

Presumably you don't need to buy - you can just wriggle through the turnstile undetected?

Thanks ferret, will try again this evening. Bought a match package yesterday, and that part of the process went nicely, only to find that Saturday’s game was not available. Hopefully there’ll be a way to self-print the tickets – if so, this will be my most practical way of going to matches...

Yeah, I’ve been trying to buy tickets for Saturday but they’re not showing on the website. Rang up Ticketmaster, and was told the club had removed them, since she couldn’t access them on her system either. The poor misguided girl even ventured to suggest in all sincerity that it might be sold...

Pros Bags of skill, a bit of pace and a desire to go at the other team. The kind of player who could make it worthwhile going to a game, and (let’s face it) we haven’t had many of them in recent years. A fine prospect IMO and I’m glad we’ve got him. Cons Inexperienced and unreliable at this...

That’s very true. But I never said Harries shouldn’t have been sold. As with Wilson and Maddison - it would have been great to watch them play for City for a few years (like we did with Gillespie), but given the state of the club I’ve long since accepted that we can’t keep anybody who’s any...

Yep, eventually got a richly deserved move to Liverpool. Not sure what your point is?

Based on my personal opinion of course. Could be wrong, just like the Premier League team that has signed him on a on a 3 year deal could be wrong. The way he receives the ball, calmness under pressure, sends people the wrong way with ease, can pick a pass and execute it. Really enjoyable to...

I agree he wouldn’t have been much use to us in League 2, and £250K seems a reasonable starting fee. But if the add-ons are capped at £1m it’s not enough IMO. Do we get a percentage of future sale? The lad has got fantastic talent and as he matures and gains strength he could be as good as...

Yes, Fisher said it not only to the Guardian but to the stadium group. If the Council flogged the Ricoh for £30 million less than it was worth, why were CCFC terrified of a half share of the £14m loan? Minutes of the Stadium Forum Committee, 21st January 2015 TF was asked whether the club...

I honestly think this is how it’s been for several years now, and I believe the Finnish translation is “sisu”. Bored to tears with it all tbh, but got to admire the optimism of nearly a quarter of a million views for the thread.

"Lightning" Rod McDonald

I’m sure you’re right about the horrors of an extended stay in League 2. But that day at Wembley is the ONLY little bit of glory I’ve been able to share with the people that matter to me over the last few decades. If you wanted to take that memory away from me, I’m afraid you’d need to offer...

This sums it up pretty well. Why would I swop the best day in we've had for 30 years for avoiding relegation from the third division? April 2nd was priceless.

It’s a fair point! As I recall, the match day programme in the mid-60s printing the suggested variation for that day’s game – for example “Wild Wolves or Bolton, Millers or anyone”. I doubt if anyone took it seriously though and actually sang what was printed.

You describe it exactly the way I remember it Torch. The sound from the city fans felt like an atomic bomb going off. Years later, I spoke to Micky Gynn about it, and was cheeky enough to suggest that he had mishit the shot, but he insisted he’d aimed it right into that bottom corner. Having...

Yes I saw that too, it kind of summed up the day - thanks for snapping it. The blurry image perfectly reflects the state I was in by that time :)

I wish I had time to “like” every post, apart from the boxer shorts obviously. One of my favourite days ever for a dozen reasons, and a real privilege to be there.

Are we talking about before the game or after?
