No, but weirdly I do remember the 0-0 last game in the Prem against bradford. Maybe because it was our last PL game. Maybe it stands out because it was SO dull it made it interesting. Took a couple of friends who weren't particularly football fans but wanted to go to a game before we came down. They actually thought it was pretty good!Out of interest can anyone remember an exciting 0-0 game?
The midweek 5-2 humbling of 'champions elect' Blackburn Rovers in 1993 felt a little surreal, as did the two victories at VP.
Sticking 4 past champions Everton on the last Sunday of the season to survive in the top flight, when every expert had got us relegated!
Against Stoke when we had Stephen Hughes in goal for most the game.Out of interest can anyone remember an exciting 0-0 game?
Yep, I would think anyone who was at that game would have it top of the list. Great game, great atmosphere, great result. The whole city on a high. Anybody mentioned 16 May 1987 yet?Has to be Wolves at home 1967, apart from a great game victory it almost guaranteed promotion to the first division, the pinnacle of an incredible five journey under JH.
Why?..What happened then? 🫶🫶Yep, I would think anyone who was at that game would have it top of the list. Great game, great atmosphere, great result. The whole city on a high. Anybody mentioned 16 May 1987 yet?
2-1win away at Spurs to stay up last day of the season.
2-0 win against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park. Nuddy scored 2 and 7,000 City fans filled a whole side of the ground.
Dion at centre half. Totally bossed it.Wimbledon game for me. Incredible day. I was about 11. Had never seen anything like it.
Was there but didn’t enjoy it, until the end anywaySurprised (unless I've missed it) of no mention of the 2-1 against Spurs in '97.
I wasn't even there but it was the most exhilarating 90 odd minutes of radio I've ever heard.
Edit : Just seen @Sbarcher 's post. Did make the Selhurst Park game. Gutted I missed the WHL fixture.
Closest I’ve ever been to a match. Sat on the grass near the west end goal.Has to be Wolves at home 1967, apart from a great game victory it almost guaranteed promotion to the first division, the pinnacle of an incredible five journey under JH.
Graham is my uncle - wish I could have seen him playWent to that I’m sure we made it 1-0 in the 89th minute to hopefully win what would have been the first time at Villa Park only for them to go straight down the other end and equalise.
Oakey was a great little player being tipped for England.
Just took me instantly back to HR mentioning Oggy’s last game which I’d completely forgot about!As mentioned, Man Utd in the league cup sticks out. Loved going up straight after school with my dad.
Not a hugely significant game, but I have a great memory of Oggy’s last game. We beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 and sent them down. Beautiful, sunny, end of season, comfortable win.
To this day I find it baffling how David Smith who burst onto the scene with clearly so much ability put in so many inept performances. Looked like he'd go on to be one of the City greats in those early days.This one for me, was not allowed to go to games on my own until this season and this WOW what a game.

A lot of the more positive memorable ones I’ve attended have been mentioned but a few that aren’t so positive but stand out are:
Losing to Charlton 3-2 in the FA Cup after being 2-0 up at home when we were in the Prem and they were League 1 (might have been changed to Championship by then). Just an end to end match and a good crack between the fans with them fuckers singing ‘2 nil down, 3-2 up, we’re gonna win the FA Cup’ as they were leaving.
2-2 at home to Bolton (again I think we might have been 2-0 up) and some ginger lad at the front in the crowd for them having ‘Trevor Cleaver’ chanted at him relentlessly for about 70 minutes.
Losing to Rochdale away in the cup in a completely inept embarrassing performance.
Bradford at home on bonfire night when they brought less than 50 fans and, literally, the biggest cheers were for the fireworks exploding above the ground as it ended in an absolute bore draw of a 0-0.
Getting smashed by Watford at their place (5 something) when I had the worse hangover in history and should have just stayed in bed.
God, it was cold that night - and we were only in September (I think)Nil nil away at Forest Green in the Checkatrade group stage (lost on penalties).
