About smithybridge-blue

First Game

Manchester City 3 Portsmouth 1 in League Division Two on 13th November 1965
Initiated by my Dad and Grandad. A life changing day. I don't remember the game, but I remember all the cigarettes being lit in the dark Maine Stand opposite the Kippax.

Best Game

Manchester United 1 Manchester City 6 Premier League 23rd October 2011
The zenith! This will never be surpassed.
"You lucky b******s, it should have been ten!"

Worst Game

Manchester City 0 Bury 1 in League Division 1 on 14th February 1998
The bottom of the pit of watching Manchester City.

Best Ground

Stadion Miejski - home to Lech Poznan

Pure atmosphere and friendly fans. The "Poznan" .

Worst Ground

The Deva Stadium - home to Chester City, Chester FC

It's bland, there's nothing to do there near the ground and three-quarters of it is in Wales! (Actually, I like Wales. It's a beautiful place).
