I don't think they did, not in the old Div 1   There was the segregation, they just had the away part,I can remember City lads piling into them when a gate "mysteriously" was opened !  You must be on about one of the cup ties we played them .

Out of interest, when were those segregation fences put up in the open end?

One fence went up making two sections first, I think, for Div 1 in 1976 (again, I think), then another dividing fence making three sections, a home section, an away one and the middle one which was mostly a buffer between us and them.

So you wouldn't want to see City play at the Camp Nou, the Benebau or the San Siro? 

 

Though not sure I'd be racing to Moldova. 

I would but it is the home games where Man City aren’t getting the supporters…

I see.

 

So you wouldn't want to see City host teams like Barcelona, Milan, PSG, Ajax at Ashton Gate.

That would be a bloody difficult group! I imagine - like most - I’d come for the tie against the top seed for the novelty and experience but the competition doesn’t excite me in the way league football does.
