I was there in my City scarf. Stood in Kempton with the Sunderland fans, Leeds had the South Stand. Over 40,000 there from memory and one of the best atmospheres I have ever witnessed at Boothferry Park. The game had everything, dodgy penalty, minor pitch invasion when the ref got hit over the head with a ruck sack, sendings off, bone crunching tackles etc, but the over riding memory for me was one of 'What if' ? I always thought City would be like that at BP if we ever made it to Div 1.
Sadly we only ever saw one First Division game at the old place and I saw that too.......I'll leave that to someone else to tell you who it was against.
We discussed that years ago. How we would a large vociferous following like Sunderland if we ever had any success. Sadly that didn't turn out to be the case. Though support is more subdued everywhere nowadays,
