I remember City playing Blackpool in the FA Cup and it was 1-1 and boring, so we left with just a few minutes to go.Out of all the landmark games / moments I have missed the 3-2 v Man Utd (Huckerby) game stands out the most.
I see so many times people coming in late and missing early goals, or going down the mall early before half time and doing the same.I didn’t but a lot round me missed Thomas’ goal at Wembley.
Don't you mean shit lager?Pretty much any early goal in the second half. Got to get that shit lager down.

My grandad had a season ticket in the main stand, mine was in the west terrace, for some reason for one particular game he was giving me a lift afterwards, and he told me not to be late back to the car. So I left the Spurs game at 3:3, but from reading the recent threads it would appear there was another goal that was quite exciting.
Yeah, my seat was near the back so when the ball went high in the air you never quite knew where it would reappear, adding a level of excitement to even the dullest game.Aaah the West Terrace!
What happened to lager shit?No, I mean shit lager.
I might have been one of those. Was finishing a pint in the barI didn’t but a lot round me missed Thomas’ goal at Wembley.
It was better than thatBrian Joicey’s early winner at Molineux in 1970 that took us into Europe – got caught in traffic & arrived just in time to see & hear the goal celebrations of the City fans from outside the ground ☹
Ernie’s “donkey kick” – just about the only home game I missed that year, because of some kind of school event. Bastards! Thankfully the cameras were there for Match of the Day (which really was just one match in those days), or that goal only have been seen by 30,000 people in the world. Come to think of it, I wonder if Willie & Ernie deliberately saved up the routine for the MOTD cameras - even more genius if so. If it wasn’t on film, by now it would have been exaggerated by legend into a 40-yard effort with a double back somersault.
Sorry to hear you missed that brilliant game, but yes it was dangerous alright - swept off my feet a number of times that day. In hindsight, I wish I'd raised a complaint or raised it with an MP or something, but it would have been futile. And it wasn't only that ground where it used to happen. Personally, I think standing areas are far more fun and can be safe, it's just a question of making sure the numbers are sensible.I missed all the 87 qtr final goals because I couldn't get on to the dangerously over-sold (and as it subsequently turned out, lethal) Leppings Lane Terrace.
It wasn't over-sold people packed into the centre sections, there was plenty of room at the sideI missed all the 87 qtr final goals because I couldn't get on to the dangerously over-sold (and as it subsequently turned out, lethal) Leppings Lane Terrace.
It was over sold and dangerous . I was in the left hand corner looking at the pitch and it was rammed. Missed the first ten minuites trying to get in.It wasn't over-sold people packed into the centre sections, there was plenty of room at the side
Yup, that was the big one I missed too as my bladder got the better of me !I might have been one of those. Was finishing a pint in the bar

Agreed, I was also in that left hand corner and after Houchen made it 2-1 I was carried by the crowd, with my feet not touching the floor until after the final whistle.It was over sold and dangerous .

That's not how I remember it. I tried every tunnel and couldn't get more than a glimpse.
Yes getting in was a problem that is due to so few turnstiles and everyone arriving at the same time 2.30 pubs closed.It was over sold and dangerous . I was in the left hand corner looking at the pitch and it was rammed. Missed the first ten minuites trying to get in.
Should have used the stairs at the side took youbto the top of the terrace.That's not how I remember it. I tried every tunnel and couldn't get more than a glimpse.
