First time you went to Ninian Park

[Jordi Culé]

Yes it was - 1-1 in a match that Carlisle had to win to stay up at City's expense. There was a massive scrap in the dying minutes involving about twenty players after a frantic scramble in City's penalty area after Carlisle had just missed out on the goal that would have kept them up.

Bob, help me with this match please sir.

First match was City v Brighton, 1979, City winning 3-1.

I've tried the head to heads databases but can't find the details of the match.

I'd be forever in your debt.

October 1970 v Leciester 2-2.

Uncle was down from Leicester and my dad took us.

If I recall, Toshack and Clarke were the scorers for us, that season came down to the wire if I remember right, with Leicester winning promotion to the old first division, with us missing out. We then sold Toshack to Liverpool and the rest as they say is history.

Only just got in and I see you've got the details of the match now. My first thought when I read your message was "he saw Ronnie Moore score the first time he watched us play, that must be a club that can hold it's annual reunion in a broom cupboard".

I've not looked at the link about the game that!'s been posted, but I'm pretty sure Mark Lawrenson and Peter Sayer were in the Brighton team.

"Shared some chips half way down , as we turned the corner by the Ninian pub"

Blimey, I remember that place. Black & White pub on the corner. Used to get hit by a wall of beer fumes as you walked past it!

I can remember Peter Ward playing for Brighton. I didn't know it was Ronnie Moores first goal but there again a lot of the occasion has passed me by.

Cheers Bob.

That was one of my favourite city matches ever.
Peter award put in Brighton one up then City stormed back to win 3-1, which was quite a turn around against a Brighton team gunning for the first division,?that's the old First division. Tony Evans got one, can't recall who else scored.
I seem to recall Rod Thomas finishing the match with a bandage following a nasty head cut.

City were on a great end Of season run under Richie Morgan and beat another promotion favourite Sunderland away. Those were good times watching the city with their iconic
