We had a game at West Brom in the late 70s. Albion had Regis, Cunningham and Batson playing for them at the time. Those players were subjected to Racist abuse from a large proportion of our ‘fans’ that night, including having bananas thrown at them. If I am still around and following City then...

Shame that someone like yourself comes on with good intentions and then receives abuse. I think it’s good that fans like yourself come on here in the right way to make a point. I’d ignore those who seem threatened by this. We have plenty of Neanderthals who follow this club including racists and...

He also had them in his games earlier this season before his injury.

I saw an older bloke miss his step due to the curb and fall quite heavily after the Oxford game. In the crush of people moving down to the tunnels at the end of the game, the curb is hard to see.

It’s a park/ green space that is adjacent to Blackburn Road. If a proper pathway was put in it would allow access to the canal bridge at the North Stand end.

Agree. Seems both greedy and short sighted.

I think you used to be able to do this but not any more

I was going to raise this too. I think it should apply to all concessionary seats. It’s correct that people should pay the correct price, that adults don’t get in on a child’s ticket for example. I tried to upgrade my mates OAP ticket to an adult for the Swansea game. As we had already paid...

Not over the 120 minutes we didn’t.

I don’t understand why some people can’t look at Robin’s record here before writing him off. It took him 3 games to turn around the team heading for relegation to League Two. After those games that team ( who had been hopeless all season) were getting play off chasing results and also won at...

I was in there today to try and upgrade a ticket. Can’t do that online (and as it turns out, you can’t do it in person either) A chap ahead of me in the queue was there because he was trying to buy two half ST in seats that were together. Because his computer was only showing Swansea tickets, he...

I think your memories playing tricks on you. The keep ball phase of that game was only the last 5 minutes at most. According to Tommy Hutchison, both sets of players had received messages from the sidelines and knew the Sunderland result before it was flashed on the score board. Gordon Milne...

I think Brian Clough, while a Sunderland player for a couple of years, was actually born in and played for Middlesbrough.

The difference between now and pre PL is that is that clubs could reach the top without having a billionaire owner. Their rise would be down to the talent of the manager and his skill in putting a competitive team together, helped by the fact that in those days there was no freedom of contract...

My favourite ever game. That second half was the best performance by a City team (there’s only one City and that’s us!) that I have ever seen. I think we would have beaten 70s Brazil that night.

Anyone who would still like a signed copy of the Tommy Hutchison book can pick one up from Pop’s Hairdresser’s on Wallace Road Radford. Dave Larkin (Pop), the proprietor, is kindly selling a few books for me. He is a big City fan and if you stop by, you can have a chat about all things Sky Blue...

Apologies to Harry as I know it’s not you who wrote the post I responded too. It won’t let me edit your name 🙄

I’m no apologist for Aston Villa, but to dismiss their history is to ignore the fact that they have a trophy laden past. I would also take exception to the idea that the European Cup was irrelevant when they won it. I think football fans paid far more attention to the competition as it was then...

He was asked before the broadcast started what he’d had for lunch. His reply of Weetabix was I think a joke.

Surely Moussa’s equaliser, after all of the time wasting that went on ( including Joe Murphy having to go into the stand at one point to retrieve the ball which the Preston fans were holding on to) trumps the pitch invader?
