30 years on
Thirty years ago, I was at Maine Road. City were playing Charlton in the last match of the season, with a good win meaning promotion.
The day was warm and sunny. We ended up sitting on the benches in the Platt Lane away end as there was no space anywhere else.
Two up quickly, it was a joyful afternoon ending 5-1 followed by a pitch invasion at the end.
Then, around 5.30 ish probably, we got home, and saw the terrible news from Bradford.
