I've only been going since 1990. My two top moments (can't split them!) are beating Northampton to secure promotion in 1994 and beating Everton in the FA Cup last year.

Only been going regularly since '92.
It has to be the Everton win last year.

Mine has to be either Everton last year or the 7-1 at Rochdale.

B'Ham at home in the league in the late 70's i was one of the kids sat on the grass around the touchline because the GM was rammed attendance was something like 16,000+. Kids were allowed to sit around the edge of the pitch never would be allowed to happen now.

January 1979 Man City FA Cup 4th round. The whole day was brill!
Newcastle 83/84 Away won 1-0 in front of 29,000, about 25 of us(I think). Goal scored by ex Sunderland and Newcastle loan man Alan Brown ;D

Kids were allowed to sit around the edge of the pitch never would be allowed to happen now. Bloody scary that was! Blues fans were on the roof and the floodlight pylons at the Station End They opened the gate at the back of the Station End to let them in as they were struggling to get them all thorugh the turnstiles, it could have been a hillsborough style disaster that day as people were being pushed against the fences at the front of the Station End I've always maintained there were far more inside that day (official crowd was just over 16000) that against Ipswich in the FA Cup when the official gate was 18000

The amount that was in GM that day Im sure it was close on 20,000. A mate of mine was in the programme selling thingy in the corner by station end/riverside. When the Blues fans moved in there he hid with another mate. Both amazingly werent questioned by any Blues fan or given any hassle even if they did have Town scarfes on ;D I remember "can you kindly get off the roof" The reply "**** off"

At St Andrews a couple of years later, League cup 2nd round 2nd leg, we giving the Blues fans some grief so The old bill say "pack it in or we wont give you escort back to your coaches". So we stop and they still gave us no escort The Baseball Ground was worse, you came out the away end thats on the side and go along a passage. What you dont realise is that as soon as the passage ends, the old bill bugger off and your mixed in with all the Deby hooligans.....Brown trousers time
