Yes. Speculation on who may play in the RL games starts a week before. What is Baz Cooper doing? Too busy on Twitter? Plenty of time to write over the top sensationalist articles about City fans who have never created scenes in the MKM like those seen on Good Friday.

How many on here where at Boothferry Park, Christmas 1965 when we beat Millwall 1-0 with over 40,000 there? Not a bad crowd for a 3rd division game. Biggest crowd in the country on the day if I remember correctly. It was even commented on the main BBC tv sports news that night. Both teams were battling it out at the top of the division, with City eventually finishing as champions.
Remember the only goal at the North stand end, an own goal at that, but not many realised it on the day, Harry Cripps? Bit of a goal mouth scramble, I was stood right up against the barriers in the North Stand and just remember an enormous cheer as the ball nestled in the back of the net, players shaking hands then trotting back to the centre circle. Sure Tom Wilson who we signed three years later was Millwalls number five that day.
It was a quick turn around in those days and we were at The (old) Den the following day. City enquired before setting off as to the state of the pitch and were told it was perfectably playable. When they got there it was frozen solid, and unfortunatly our kit man, if we had one, hadn't packed the right boots/studs for the state of the pitch and City spent 90 mins slipping and sliding all over the place and losing 3-0.
I never dreamt at the time that the crowd would be the biggest home crowd I would ever see City play in front of. It wasn't even that much of a surprise at the time, it was almost expected and it was pay at the turnstile on the day.

Somehow hitch- hiked from Brid to The Den on a Sat morning around 1968 to watch City lose (4 nil?). Thinking about doing it again at my age now. There again Maybe not!!

Did the same at the Chelsea replay the following March, remember being crowd surfed down from the railway entrance to the cider track surrounding the pitch, fantastic view, so close to the players!!

I went to Stamford Bridge for the first game, got my ticket for the replay, and was at day release and College of Commerce that day and the teacher wouldn't let us leave early to get to the game. So we all walked out and there wasn't much he could do as more or less the whole class was going.
