I was stood on the Kippax next to the away fans who all seemed to be archetypal Yorkshire men who'd had a load of booze which created a great atmosphere. There were also a load in the North Stand so probably about 7k in total. One weird thing (apart from Ricky Holden in a City shirt) was when the teams came out and I saw the Main Stand rise to applaud the team I felt absolutely certain we would win. Never had that feeling before or since. Of course, all went to rat shit in the next round on an uncomfortably packed Kippax v Spurs. Strange thing is I was sure we'd win the Cup that year. Back then, being at school and not having won anything for years it meant so much to beat Spurs so the feeling afterwards was worse than going down at Stoke Ono the third tier for me! Now I (wrongly) take it as almost a non event if we reach the semi finals! Anyway two nil City with both goals in second half from Dzeko.
