A bit later. April 1971 was a 4-0.Went to that from Brid but went on a bus from Hull. Only about 30 on it. Stayed in London after the game for a night out. An interesting experience going to the Den in those days.
Thanks for the update. Won't be doing it again but all good memories. Got a lift all the way from East Riding to Wembley. Got stuck coming back outside Kenilworth Road, Luton and was lucky to be seen up here ever again!
I was a young kid at the 65 game and don't remember too much about it. The 1971 game at the Den was the time I discovered showing your colours at an away match could seriously damage your health. I know your life insurance didn't cover you for a trip down there. It could have been the year before when the game was delayed because someone threw a dummy grenade behind a goal, or was it the time of the fire? It was such a friendly place. I wonder if they are thinking of taking the seats home with them again today. Can sniffer dogs detect screwdrivers, spanners and Black and Decker drills?

Traoré on the bench and no Óscar again.

I suspect too many games too close together for Traore? Shame though.
This just reminded me that someone in pre-season laughed at the notion that Millwall would be in the hunt for the play offs and would finish below us. Funny.
Stoke was 1971. Dave Dewberry had taken enough names to fill 3 buses for the semi final after the second went in. Then a rush of blood to head let that ginger twat Conroy in just before half time. A goal from a throw in which should have been ours and was offside and Banks pulling the ball back from behind the line robbed us of a win. I will get over it given time.
My dad was relieved. My uncle was friends with a lot of the high ups at Leeds, used to play golf with Revie , a former chairman and two of the directors. He had booked first class on the Pulman for the final against Chelsea and a weekend in a swanky hotel for him and his wife . He then had a heart do and couldn’t go. He offered me the tickets but
I said I would only want to go to see City. He was managing director of a company and told union rep to put everyone’s name into a draw and pick out a winner. My dad said that if City ever got to the Cup Final he would organise the same for me. He said he was a very relieved man when I got home as he thought at 2-0 he was going to have to pay out.
We played Stoke at their place the following year but were well beat though Waggy put another past Banks. Bankside paid Waggy the compliment of saying he was a player he wouldn’t like to play against every week.
I was 8 yrs old and still recall my dad going crazy about the 'Banks save' pulling it from behind the line. He supported City all of his life and never saw them get to Wembley or the first tier, he died in 2005, 3 yrs later we all know what happened.

The way it's pissing down there'll definitely be a stream.
Sorry, can't help regarding the match.
Ok get the feeling we won't be seeing much of Oscar in the remaining games, I suspect he will only be used again if we are desperate for points.
