I can't help wondering if City will make the EFL eventually. The current ground is too small but there is more than enough space to build a new stadium next door, if the money can be found and it may be relatively easy to get planning permission.
Given that I started attending United games in December 1975, it took me nearly another two years to make my first visit to the wonderful old White House Ground, when I saw City defeat RC Warwick 2-0 in an FA Cup qualifying round game in September 1977. United were, of course, not at home that day and when I saw the fixture in the Oxford Times, my interest was aroused not so much because of City but by the fact that I had never heard of the visitors and thought that the only club in the world called 'Racing Club' was the one in Buenos Aires. I only made another couple of visits to the White House before it was demolished in the late 80's, which also led to the club being put into abeyance for a year or two. I can however claim to be one of the few people to have seen the revived City club play at Cutteslowe Park, when I saw them hammer Stony Stratford Town 7-1 in a SSML game in April 1991. My first visit to Court Place was for City's 3-0 victory over Southall in March 1994.
