In pre-season 1998 City played a friendly down at Torpoint, probably just a few hundred there. Maybe a record for Torpoint though lol...

...Other than that, I've seen lots of Plymouth Argyle games...they're pretty small! lol

For a competitive game involving City, I'd have to go for Chester away in the the FA Cup. Can't remember if it was the first or second round, but it was a bit of a low point. Still, at least we won.

For a 1st team City game, I was one of the several million in the 8,000 crowd versus Swindon Town...FA Cup 1964 or 65.
We lost and Mike Summerbee played against us.

I was there mate with my family. It absolutely pissed down all day and I remember there were so few of us that you could go down behind the other goal after half time. One of those grounds with no stands except a small grandstand. More at Newquay a couple of days later in the sunshine though.
