Sat in the home end...... (1 Viewer)

I sat in the home end at the Walkers bowl a couple of seasons back when we lost 3-0. My mate who worked in the media department said he could get me tickets no sweat even though it was sold out. I got there amid he gave me two home tickets :-\

Luckily had nothing to celebrate so I didn't get rumbled. My mate as an extra stitch up did put a photoshopped pic of me in the match program with a Leicester shirt on with a quote saying, "I hope my Super Foxes get a win against the Sky Blues today".

Not the best awayday I must admit.

Yids in 97/98 ish when we did 'the great escape' and stayed up against all odds.

Me and my dad sat in the corner just by the drummer (yid territory) and struggled to control our celebrations. Then after the game went and joined the parting sky blue army.

Great day!!

Stockport first season in Championship. Working in Manchester a guy I knew got me the ticket, said it was it hospitality, haha. I was right in the middle their stand behind goal. Had to keep quite the whole game.... Really hard.

Villa away in the relegation season. Thoroughly unpleasant experience. Top tier of the Doug Ellis with scum chucking coins and spitting on city fans all match.

Rochdale away FAC 2004 ish. Never any danger of being outed as a City fan. Garbage.

Leicester away 2001 3-1 win. Managed to keep calm and the natives were surprisingly docile.

Only ever sat in the 'home end' as a neutral when I went to Dundee United V Everton while up in Scotland in the summer and we took in an extra / unplanned game.

I did however come close to having to sit in the Villa end for our last Premiership game! Mate asked if i wanted to go, and then dropped the bb she'll that he might only be able to get Villa end tickets! We're going with a Villa supporting mate so he was up for it more than we were! Thank god we didnt have to though! Imagine what that would have been like, especially for that game!

Ended up getting tickets for the Cov end though, much to the displeasure of our Villa supporter friend!

I live in Colchester, so I went to the game this season and sat in the away stand with my colours on show. Forgot, however, that I had to get a bus back across Colchester with a bunch of angry Colch fans who'd just been completely ruined by a linesman. Bus was rammed so I was stood in the middle of it, sky blue, with a huge grin on my face surrounded by Colch fans. Was fun.

I sat in the villa end for the 4-1 win... Bit hairy but otherwise one of my greatest days as a City fan!

In the Stoke end FA Cup 5th round in 87 coppers escorted me round to cov end for my own safety! Forest in the 90's, Leicester in the cup when we won 3-1, best of all in the villa end when Moldovan scored in the cup for our first ever win at villa park.

Had free tickets for a game at Leicester, we lost 3-0, nightmare everyone around us going wild and we wanted to die.

West Ham 1 City 1, 1975, went down with 3 or 4 mates, hid our colours and stood on the side terrace with the West Ham fans (no sign of any gathering of city fans anywhere in the ground as i recall).
West Ham scored and we clapped with as much enthusiasm as we could muster ... all nice and calm, and then Barry Powell hit an absolute screamer from 20-25 yards, the ball hit the back of the net before the keeper even blinked.
By the time my brain had engaged I found I was already in the air shouting YEESSSSSS!! with the rest of my mates.
Seconds later there was the inevitable chant of "the Irons" as a bunch of knuckle scrapers waded in fists flying, and we split into the crowd and later regrouped.
I still remember a middle-aged West Ham fan trying to box me in and block my escape route ... have some of this son!
Trust City to do the unexpected!
