Crowd surges on the old terraces.
I was in the away end of the Vetch one year and must have done about 3 miles up and down those steps.
I was a regular at NP from 1978 and without question the Leeds cup game tops everything else for atmosphere. I really thought I might have a heart attack towards the end - in fact I phoned my lad to say goodbye!!
That was the most hostile atmosphere ive been at by a distance. The crowd won the game. The Leeds players either shit themselves or lost the plot like Alan Smith and got sent off.
Lets face it that happens now the game probably gets abandoned and we are in all sorts of sh!t. Though the Leeds fans were throwing missiles as well.
We had loads of stick. We lost an important league game next at NP. The atmosphere was terrible , subdued due to the reaction about that match.
Probably my best memory from those days is Wales v Scotland in 1985. It was the first and maybe only time I saw the mighty Bob Bank absolutely packed. I was where I nornally stood for City games about two thirs of the way from the Canton to the Grange end, and behind the ladder to the commenraty position. The crowd was supposed to be 39,500 but there must have been 30,000 on the Bob Bank alone. (At least 3,000 Scots in the corner) When Sparky scored. SCENES. Probably the most mental I ever went after a goal. And I'm very much a City first kind of fan.
Been in some tremendous goal celebrations both at Ninian Park & CCS but Leicester away in the play offs after Whittingham’s free kick really did make the ground shake, I swear that stand was moving akin to an earth tremor.
Strippers in the Le Mans on a Sunday lunchtime.
The absence of pot bellied middle aged blokes wearing club shirts with players names on their backs, rattles and bobble hats.
Haven’t read through the whole thread, so not sure if anyone else has made this point, but to me, after reading your opening post, why have you called it “the bad old days”?
loved a pitch invasion..if the coppers didn't grab you..you were safe..
colchester away on a Friday night..won 4-2..on the pitch every goal
crewe away on a cold Tuesday night..pitch rock hard..

Things You Miss From 'The Bad Old Days' ( Sex )
Because it's a phrase sometimes used by City fans who have the opinion that when we were really shit with poor attendances and we had to piss up against a wall next to the place where they sold food, as well as the regular tear ups, that everything was awful and things are so much better now that it's so much more civilised and serious. Some things are better, alot of things aren't in my opinion. I loved taking a piss to the smell of hotdogs are fried onions
