ITV4 - Sat 11:30am - City/Gillingham documentary (on ITVX)
- Thread starter HelloCity
- Start date
Well spotted. Nice bit of nostagia. Id forgotten how late all the goals were including Gillinghams. The ref, Mark Halsey, explained he had been booked into the Hilton by the FA so nothing to do with favouring City when reported as "celebrating with fans" when it was coincidence he was in the same hotel.

Yes, when all the Gillingham fans had fucked off, there was left a bunch of several hundred City fans, who’d all congregated at the bottom of the far end, just to the side of the post.
Some of the City players made the effort to go up that end of the pitch to give them a clap.

Just watched it. Looks like it’s been done by Gillingham FC instead of the usual all-City fare. It’s their local TV commentary with Horton and features lots of their players. It’s fine but they’ve run quite a few of the clips in the wrong place (celebrations being shown which occurred later in the game etc) and the crowd sound quality, which could have added real drama, is awful. It captures Gillingham’s heartbreak better than City’s joy. Fair play for the balance I suppose.

Cheers for letting us know.
Was gutted I'd missed it earlier on when I first read the thread, to anyone thinking the same it's on the ITVX player so cheers for the heads up, as I definitely wouldn't have noticed.
Not sure how long it'll stay on there don't think this link will play without login in for those curious, think you'll need to create an account like me or you might need to use the app unsure how it works, it's on the player though so I'll create an account and watch it at some point in the next couple days.
Cheers again.

It's a picture of our owner HRH Sheikh Mansour a proper lifelong "legacy" fan...
Sheikh Mansour went to London on his private jet, to watch his blues in 99 win the playoff final.

Even then we were being denied nailed on pens!, first minute?
Cheers for that just watched it
Bit dusty in here , honestly I’m not crying
Thanks for sharing. A great watch. A great comeback from City that no doubt devastated Gillingham. As it said on the program, if we had not got promoted, we would have probably gone into administration. Such a fine line between success and failure.
