To the new fans of City, this is the kind of stuff we went through. It wasn't all glory and glamour, it was cold nights in Macclesfield, York and Grimsby. We're happy with where we are, but we never forget where we came from.
Got respect for City! I grew up an Arsenal fan but I remember watching this and amazed how many more City fans there were compared to Blackburn. Great team, great history!
Tom I know yeah these were great times as a city fan magical for me as a kid. Atmosphere not the same but city fans still have that sense of humour we are still city getting beat by Palace Leicester and Newcastle and beating Schalke with 10 men and the league with the last kick it's why I love them
Guardiola is such a top guy as well I liked him at bayern and Barcelona and could only have dreamed about him being our manager and no manager that I could be more proud of to have at our club than Guardiola he is just the best in the world
I was at ewood that day, it was fantastic, and 30 years of magical memories of Maine Road, but the lack of any real quality signings following that game showed the next season, and although those memories will never fade, the atmosphere at Maine Road was miles better than it is now, I wouldn't swap the last 10 years for anything. MCFC CHAMPIONS.
Without a doubt one of the best awaydays I ever had. Massively hungover (my Dad had to drag me out of bed) from the night before and twisted my ankle celebrating the equaliser. Blues all over the place. Straight on the pitch afterwards and straight to the pub after that. Happy Days!
One of the best days I’ve ever had as a City fan. Massive expectation at the start of the day, City fans were everywhere and were immense. I remember the tension until we equalised and then the day just got better and better!
I was 17, and it was just an incredible experience. I remember the stewards lining up to stop the pitch invasion at the end, but they gave up trying pretty quickly. I also remember seeing Ian Bishop get caught out by a wave of us, and he was mobbed (he was stripped of his boots, haha). The Blackburn fans were in awe of our super support that day. It was like we were the home team. I wouldn't trade those years of being relegated twice and bouncing back up - it was magical.
thats modern football for ya people keep going onabout safe standing i dont think that has anything to do with it the atmosphere in the premier league being bad is due to the price of tickets and nothing else best atmosphere iv heard at eastlands was against hamburg and i remember they put on cheap tickets for that game to make sure it was full and had a rockin atmosphere and it worked only way the premier league is gonna get the old school atmosphere back is by making football affordable again safe standings great but if the tickets are still expensive it wont change anything
@EverythingSidemenClips would of been even better if tickets were cheaper there was still a few tourists at them games duno why they bother with the loyalty points system when touts still get hold of em
are fans are shit now dont care wht no one says id take the old days back anyday can take all them trophies theres no passion in the etihad anymore its shit
Probably the best away game ever... didn't even get in. The poor pub at the away end got demolished. Blackburn hit the bar about 5 times. "City's coming home"
@@Ross_Milton i’d say most are just great full for what we have now. It’s still talked about by people like my dad but we are all great full for the current team
feel bad for the city fans from this period that get called plastic now by people who will never know they used to have fans like this. must miss it a tonne
you all right happy memories we weren't good everywhere we went from Plymouth London , Grimsby, Bradford Crewe,Macclesfield, Stoke, Nottingham MCFC fans were great it was different then fans looked after each other.i remember being at Blackburn one night in the Simons cup or something an all my mates gave me there ticket money to buy palace tickets away there I was £110 in my hand counting it.fuck me city scored with out realising 11 ten pound notes in the air.only with city fans everyone scrambling about I got £140 back.many happy times with MCFC fans back in the day Banana's Maine road
MCFC I bet half of those fans on the pitch have fucked it all off now. Even though we're now a fantastic side the matchday experience is just dead and has no appeal to me now. Still love the club though.
It's gone up by 50% as you say because of the increased capacity? First from the move to the City of Manchester Stadium/Etihad in 2003 from Maine Road, and then the ground expansion at the Etihad in 2015. City's average attendance in 2004 - 46,834 City's average attendance in 2013 - 46,974 City's average attendance in 2016 - 54,041
It's the modern fans who know nothing about football, they are the same fans who are only singing when they are winning and hiding when there down and out..... Not city! CTID
Was there that day, probably the biggest away following I've been with city in more than 45 years of watching. Was that the old referee Jack Taylor who took charge of the world cup final in 1974 handing Joe Royle that bottle of champagne?
"Congratulations all around on the bank over there." ....people...say all you like about us Sky Blues having empty seats and no fans. The truth is known. Manchester City were and are fkn huge.
As somebody who hates the new City but genuinely loved the old one, I ask this weird question to those who were there that day..... What percentage of each stand were City fans? From TV it looks like the stand to the right 100% City as it's the official away end. The touchline stand opposite the camera looks about 40% and the Blackburn end about 10%. That about right? And what about the stand it's being filmed from? Also, any trouble in those areas where City fans got in?
me and dad were there going bonkers he is 84 now and we both still go to watch city he got the diabetes now though so he cannot have a drink before the game he moans like hell about it

You are a true football fan. We need more football fans like yourself around. Coming from a Man Utd fan.
Respect from an Arsenal fan.
Have been City fan since 2010. When I watched these old clip of 90s, then only I remember how special this club is.
Got respect for City! I grew up an Arsenal fan but I remember watching this and amazed how many more City fans there were compared to Blackburn.
Great team, great history!
Thank you 😊 💓

Incredible following from City, fans literally everywhere in the ground. Small club my arse

Was at this game, there was over 20,000 City fans there, i went in the home end, the journey home was amazing.
Would not swap theses days for anything even the current team this was a fantastic era.
20 years ago today. What an incredible day this was. I was there
City!
Takin over your ground again!
My god haven't seen this for years as a city I miss this when they start singing city are back 4.30 brilliant BLUE MOON
20 years ago. Madness
I was there in the Walker steel stand. Didn’t wear any colours but when we got in the ground, city were everywhere! I needn’t have worried
feel bad for the city fans from this period that get called plastic now by people who will never know they used to have fans like this. must miss it a tonne
We love opposition fans who are clueless though

Whenever some Neanderthal says City have no fans, send them a link to this video
My boss is a Blackburn season ticket holder , and he says this match is the ONLY time he's EVER seen Blackburn fans outnumbered on their home ground.
But we had no fans before arab money?
So they say
No we was had a great atmosphere nd fans buddy

The home shirt this year is my second favourite City shirt ever. The 1999 away one is my first.
97/98 kappa home shirt is my favourite. Despite how bad that season was.
What a cross that is for the first goal...
CITY ARE BACK BRILLIANT PLASTIC FANS MY ARSE I MISS THOSE DAYS
Those were the days...

Good Times c: CTID!
In an odd kind of a way i miss the heady days of promotions from the 3rd & 2nd Divisions .
Citadel ultra I miss those days, don't get the buzz going to the matches anymore. Today's matchday experience is utter shite.
chezzy blue city are way too predictable now their is no excitement
Even the bad times were good.. strangely enough!
As away days go this was different gravy.
Best one ever for me...and Stoke on the last day of the season.
Where was we when we was shit you say?
Great days.CTID.

Great Atmospheres back then. It's shit now to much corporates and daytrippers and far to expensive. Why I can't be arsed with it anymore.
