    My main memories of him were him collecting the ball out of the box and taking it with him through the heart of the opposition defence.

    26,672 at the Oxford game. As you said went downhill from there. Ended up with a crowd of 11,301 for the last game at home to Norwich.

    Neill was sent off earlier in the season at QPR. Considering where we were our support there was laughable. There was our usual minibus but owing to some non regulars turning up there was a row over seats and myself, Whiff, Tony E and Mike F went on train. A handful of others, including a couple of Matelots who had just returned from the Caribbean and kept the four of us supplied with rum, meant there were about 30 City fans there.
    To show the oddness of our support a few weeks later there was a football special to Luton. Not sure, but I think that game was the first time we wore a black andvredvstriped away kit as Terry Neill thought it made the platters look bigger than the usual change strip.

    (Attendance figures thanks to .Chris Elton and not my memory).

    I didn't write they did. I wrote that Terry Neill thought they did. Best to respond to what was actually written.

    Though to be honest few did comment on it, agreeing they did look bigger. Mind you, as someone said "Look like AC Milan. Unfortunately don't play like them" as we went down to a 3-1 defeat.
