Just watched it on YouTube, atmosphere sounded amazing Arsenal in the West End & Liverpool on the Kop, Highfield Road looked great & very much a worthy venue for such a game.
I went with a mate, bought a couple of tickets outside the ground and stood on terracing in front of sky blue stand. I think there was just under 40,000 there.
That is the only area of Highfield Rd that I never watched a match from, nearest I got was the occasional last 5 - 10mins when leaving the seats above.
I would love that
Tickets were less of a problem then as it was standing and pay on the get at least up to the 5th round. Only 6th round I remember was SWFC away. Might be the only time we got there in my lifetime.
They'd be great TV coverage, possible full house and a chance to get to the 6th round
I watched a few games from sky blue stand terracing and could be a pain as I seem to remember the sun went over the main stand. I had a season ticket in every other stand in the ground over the years.
I honestly think that Q/F loss to Sheffield Utd hurt me more than any other loss in my near 50 years following City, still rankles when I think about it
That missed header from Moldavan, the corner for their goal that never was, I still feel like that. A semi v a shit Newcastle at Wembley beckonedI honestly think that Q/F loss to Sheffield Utd hurt me more than any other loss in my near 50 years following City, still rankles when I think about it
The semi was at Old Trafford (still the days of neutral ground semi finals ) which would have been even better.
I was at that game don't know how Moldovan missed that header., and yes the circumstances that led to the corner, ball bobbling of the right backs shin etc.
I must have been just ahead of you! A chap came past with a clicker thing counting people. He went a few people past me and stopped.
Yes I was in the upper tier, it was harder to get it over the bar than in the net
Roland Nilsson, hit his shin ,even then Whelan who was poor that game somehow let the corner hit his back and they score . The rest is history.
I was there with you in the east stand. Live screening but just on the tv monitors
My brother and cousin were at the live screening too. In fact my brother was talking about celebrating in style ,went to the loo came back and found out it was 1-1.
I took my lad and his mate and we never uttered a word all the way home , we were so guttedI honestly think that Q/F loss to Sheffield Utd hurt me more than any other loss in my near 50 years following City, still rankles when I think about it
I agree that was hard to take and should never had happened. We were a very good team at the time. Sickening equaliser but should have done a whole lot better in match at Highfield road.
Be careful what you wish for.
Alright in the West ham SF though
Went to that and got a ticket for the Kop where the Liverpool fans were I witnessed hundreds of scousers just sitting opposite the turnstiles obviously without tickets and the police opened up the gates rather than having them roaming the streets and they piled in, a regular occurrence at their many big games, a number of years later we all know what happened at Hillsborough, which to this day they deny.
What do they deny?
Why not? We’ve had just about every other Saturday home game changedQuarter finals and semi finals are both on dates we have rare Saturday 3pm home games scheduled. Going to have to move those games to midweek on our way to Wembley
Feck I remember that, I was in Delhi, ,thought it was in the bag had a few beers and then. My cousin who went to the game was so gutted ,he went straight to bed after the match lol

Has a rethink, all games are midweek, so any away game midweek apart from Villa is S#xt !!!
