Mine was about 1971/72 - we beat Burnley 4-2 - and had chips on the way home (the chips actually the most memorable part of it!).  |  |

The first one I remember was Man City in the Cup in January 1966. We drew 1-1 and stood in the West paddock near that little stand that linked the South and West. It went over the entrance to the West paddock.
I can see Alan Ball with his vivid ginger hair attacking the South end down that West flank.
The ground didn't change for 30 plus years after that other than the ads on the stand roofs and a paint lick changing it from corporation green to tangerine. |  | | |

My brother took me to Man City at home in the FA Cup '84 (2-1) - I remember sitting on that little wall that separated the west paddock from the pitch. |  | | |
