After reading McCann's comments about how he made his biggest mistake as a manager last Christmas by giving his players the daytime off and then travelling across for their Boxing Day game on Christmas Day evening, and them getting beat 3-0 - I'm now half expecting a 'typical City' moment, so we'll probably play like we're full of food and drink/still drunk and get beat 3-0.

I remember us beating Forest at home in the FA Cup - cant remember the round but it was the season we took Chelsea to a replay

Good to see Wiggo and Chilly in action...:emoticon-0136-giggl.

What state is the pitch in though!

It was 1965-66, 4th round, we won 2-0.

Got into bother over that game as we went to school on Saturday morning and I refused to play for the rugby team that afternoon. To make sure we got away in time for the train asked the French teacher along with another lad if we could leave early. Amazed, as he was no fan of myself, at his reaction when he said loudly of course you can’t leave early, what do you think this is? Then said softly that he would have liked to have gone so if we both asked to go to the toilet and didn’t come back what could he do about it?
After getting off train we were in the city centre looking at TVs in a shop window and a bloke asked us if we were going to the game. We said yes and he asked us who we thought would win. We said City of course and he said he hoped it was a good game and we enjoyed it. We were stood in the Well and when the teams came out my mate said look - there’s that bloke who was talking to us. It was Terry Hennessy. Remember Forest brought thousands and they had an enormous banner which was nearly the length of the East Stand. Great atmosphere.

Missed it by a year. Don't remember the BP pitch ever looking like that though I'm sure it did.

It did at some times. Though it was like a bowling green compared to most other clubs. Middlesbrough and Ipswich had good pitches, all 3 of us got the turf from the same place at the time. Leeds and Derby County in particular were terrible, made you wonder how good they could have been if they had a pitch like ours. Sometimes I think our pitch was a bit of a disadvantage, other teams arrived, were delighted to play on such a good pitch and started spraying the ball about in a way they didn’t on the quagmires elsewhere.

School on Saturday morning? Must have been Hymers or Borstal!

No. Brid Grammar School. Wednesday afternoons off. Which was irrelevant as most Wednesday afternoons I was in detention anyway

Brid had a Grammar School?
I thought you went to private school.
Didn't you grow up in Norwich?

Only one school was built between Eton and the Reformation and that was in Bridlington. Which is why it was way in front of some cities I could mention
