I went, by train, not sure if it was a football special. It was a snowy Boxing Day and we seemed to be at the ground really early. Groundstaff were clearing the snow away from the approaches (Derby would have had it postponed no bother
).
One strange anecdote, I’m sure it happened, unless my memory is going doolally, is that Coventry’s game v Wolves had been postponed. Us City fans were stationed on the terraces by the half way line with Wolves fans in front of us supporting us and Coventry fans behind us, also supporting us. The Coventry fans were quite concerned with the Wolves fans presence and urged us not to let on that they were there.
There were a lot of City fans there that day as there were at all the 60s away games I went to, Plymouth in ‘67 being my first. Bluetit (Tony Jefferies) very often in the same company as me. The players very often travelled home on the same train as us.
