I travelled down to that game with mates, I drove and we carried on off to have a night in Brighton in the clubs, we somehow slept in my mates Dad's old Territorial Army tent on a camp site..............it was that well camouflaged we struggled to find it at 3 am in the pitch black !
City 3 Palace 1, 6th of September 1980.
Yknow, the game that had the infamous Clive Allen 'no goal'.

Just picked up on this thread, so a belated 'Happy Birthday' to you Dan. What a bunch of lousy bastards my fellow SBTers are in not getting there before me.
Anyway Dan, seeing as you asked - The game closest to my birth date was the first game of 1966/67 played on 20th Aug. We beat Hull 1-0 and it didn't turn out to be a bad season for us.
I entered this world to a 2-2 Leicester (A), 1994/95 season. Blackburn were champions - now look at us both...
2-1 Away win at Middlesboro Powell and Ferguson scoring
My brother's a 1-0 loss at Villa. Paul Birch scoring.
My lads, 3-0 victory against Derby County, we bought him home that day, sat on the Sofa with him watching the game on TV. Gary Mac, Hignett and Bothroyd scoring. That was the 3rd game of a 10 match unbeaten run, meaning we didnt lose until he was 5 weeks old.

24 Dec 1949 Coventry City v Grimsby Town D 1-1 League Division Two, scorer Murphy, attendance 24,058
I had no idea our attendances were so high back then.
This was my first ever away game, my Grandad took me. Seem to remember we never got near them.
I collect old City programmes and I've got one that has three 'Hill's' in the City line-up.
Nowadays we just have a mountain to climb
and A Shit creek to wade through.

1941/42 season. No fixtures as Coventry City didn't play second half of season. However, some of the squad from that season I saw play as a boy. George Mason, Billy Frith, Alf Wood, Ted Roberts. Just names to 99% of people on here but heros to me in the early 1950's
