My uncle Tony used to drive the GMT bus and so used to get a ticket for free, I was always mad keen on City and he took me along when I was 12 in Jan ‘81. FA Cup 3rd round, One of Johny Bonds first games, against the man he replaced Malcolm Allison’s Crystal Palace, grudge match or what, needless to say City triumphed and went on to lose to Spurs in one of the most memorable finals ever. We were in the side bit of the Kippax adjoining the Platt Lane stand and it was 85p at the turnstile. It was a fabulous 4-0 victory, the smell of the ale and the cigarette smoke, the noise of the crowd, the thrill of the game will stay with me forever, it was 28 years ago but I remember it like it was yesterday. I bought a Junior Blue season ticket for the next 2 years with my paper round money and have been going ever since. I love the Blues and you are the most special and loyal fans in England
