has anybody gone to watch city away and the game as been postponed and ended up watching another game, i've only done it once , it was shrewsbury away on a tuesday night 2001 i think, the game was called off a couple of hours before kick off we were already in a pub just outside shrewsbury so we decided to go and watch walsall v rotherham it was the only game in the area, it seemed like about 50-100 us went in the away end with the rotherham fans the stewards didn't know what to do when they realised we were in there funny as f*ck there was no trouble and the game was live on sky, quite a few of the lads were getting txts from mates back home wondering why they could hear city fans singing right through the match, was anyone else there that night or have done the same thing on other occasions.

I was there with 12 of my mates from our Transit van,had lot's of rearranged trips over the years, love to see the puzzled looks on everyone's faces.

West Brom against Blackburn when our game at Bolton was cancelled must rate as my best , especially when Blakey scored for Blackburn and run straight to the 400 City fans and did the Ayatollah.
