    Not a total attendance one (but can’t have been many) but I was one of 30 City fans away to Cardiff City at Ninian Park, tues night rearranged game. We won 4-2 and Neil Tolson scored an absolute screamer. Fantastic night!

    I watched city play Charlton at selhurst park
    It was a filthy wet night and at half time they moved the nearly 60city fans undercover
    If memory serves me there was less than 150 in attendance that night
    We lost 2-0 i think it was the full members cup about 1986/87

    Brilliant!
    Imagine being the only away fan in a proper league ground like Deepdale. What an experience.

    That had gone by the time I first visited. It was just a strip of open terrace with a grass bank behind it, which I presumed had once had a stand on it

    The coldest for me was at the old Rotherham stadium with the running track round it, It was a night game and clear but freezing, Got a hot dog to warm me up and by the time it was in the bun in my hand it was nearly frozen cold, Have never shivered as much and the toilets were full of fans trying to keep warm, Had to wade through brass monkeys on the way out

    Don't know the attendance but there cannot have been many at the game against Hartlepool which kicked off mid afternoon on a mid week day due to us not being able to use our damaged floodlights. I remember the great Ray Kennedy (Arsenal and Liverpool) playing midfield quarterback for them right at the back end of his career early 80's.
    Maybe not my lowest crowd but can't have been far off unless City fans threw a sicky from work.

    Need to do more research on what year it was, but Stockport County away in the fog. We won 1-4 or 1-5? McNiven scored four - all in the second half after having been 1-0 down, if my memory serves me. The game should have been called off after ten minutes, the fog was so thick. So not many people in the ground got to see McNiven's goals.

    Didn't their keeper score the Stockport goal ? If its the same game we were one nil down until ten from the end and ran out 5.1

    That's the one! I was there at Edgeley Park - but not there, because I saw bugger all, and you're right - all our goals came in the last ten minutes or so. But at the time, my mate and I had no idea and only knew when grumbles came back in Chinese whisper style from the Stockport fans. After one of them said we'd gone 1-3 up, we just thought they were taking the piss.
