My grandad took me to see City immediately after the war.I was 6years old.We would arrive at the ground before the turnstiles opened at 12 noon (kick off at 2pm).We arrived early to ensure a position on the wall at the corner of what later would be called scoreboard end and Kippax street.we took a stool for me to stand on(can you imagine that being allowed now?)
Grandad didnt have to pay for me-the man taking the money allowed me to be carried over the turnstile.Another time we went we didnt manage to get to the wall so I was carried over the heads of the crowd by the supporters and placed inside the wall and watched the game from there.
I cant remember much of the games but do remember the tall dark figure of Frank Swift. Remember Andy Black ,I am sure that City had player with only one arm (was that Smith?)
