Was the day of Franny Lee’s first game as chairman and there were only a few hundred of us.
City had put on a load of pre-match events etc to get the fans excited and they were deafening…. Although that abated when Ian Marshall put us in the lead after around 15 minutes.
City came back to win 2-1, and their fans carried on the racket once they got level.
It’s up there above West Ham away in the POs in 2004, and other big atmospheres we’ve been part of. |  |

I was there, great atmosphere that day.
Birmingham away in the semi final also up there with the loudest I've experienced. |  | | |

Yeah. West Ham 2004 in the Play-Offs was crazy loud.
What gets forgotten or not mentioned is that we actually made a hell of a racket ourselves. It was just completely drowned out. |  |

Leeds away in the FA Cup in the 1990 was the first time I’d ever thought ‘facking hell, it’s loud here’. We were in the side terracing. Marching on Together remains one of the best terrace anthems |  |

Whatever happened to that song? Hardly ever hear it now. |  |

If Darren Bent had pity away that 1 on 1 chance he had in the first 2 minutes, then we’d only have heard Town fans from that point. |  | | |

I had already been to the League game that season so was pre-warned.
Vinny scored that day which made it even louder.
Michael Cheetham missed an absolute sitter to win it at the end. | |

I was at that game. City fans had been campaigning to get rid of the previous chairman Peter Swales for ages with "Swales Out" chants and protests a regular feature of their matches. When it finally happened there were great celebrations, all the more so when 'one of their own' Francis Lee took over after a 'Forward with Frannie' campaign. He was greeted like the messiah on the pitch before the game. Town then took the lead after 15 minutes and when our own celebrations had died down a chant of "Frannie Out" went up from the away end. At that time City fans were the masters of ironic and self-deprecating humour and I think they probably afforded themselves a smile. Great days and a far cry from the sterile, corporate atmosphere at the Etihad in modern times. |  |

Yes, what went wrong? Lee was a City hero and an astute businessman himself. He appointed his mate Alan Ball as manager, who got them relegated & then they had 4 managers the next season!
Shows how even people you think should be smart make terrible appointments. |  |

Cheetham, there’s a blast from the past! Bought him from the Army, didn’t we? Didn’t do a lot for us, but had a great stint at Cambridge. | |

One of my favorite ever away games was at Maine Road in QF of the league cup just before Christmas in 2000, good atmosphere that night! Proper football! |  |
