had to run about 2 miles to catch the last train out of wycombe, left the game with about 10 minutes to go, should have left with 10 minutes gone, utter garbage.

there were less than 10K there and there was still a fricking traffic jam that made us late in as well
Happy Days ;-)

one of the all time lows
and considering how long I have been following City that is saying something
went with a bunch of top lads with leve blues but even all the good lads and the excessive alcohol couldn't lift the gloom on the way home that night!

We got told no trains after the game was at half time. Luckily one of the coaches had just enough spare seats for us.

OK, a lot of things I can remember.... some I can't....
I went to Wycombe when we drew 0-0 in the League Cup.... was that under Alan Ball and if so in his first season or during his handful of games in the 2nd division (old money)?
Amazing to think had we beat Wycombe in our second last home game of the season, we would have gone up automatically and the Gillingham game would never had happened!
Wycombe did the double over us!

What sticks in my mind is the depressing business park you had to walk past to get to and from the ground.
It really brought it home to me how far we had fallen. The performance that evening was another new low too.
When you think that people are asking if we are as good as Barcelona now (which we're not btw) it really brings into sharp relief how far we have come from those dark, depressing days - especially because there seemed such little hope of redemption at the time.
It truly is incredible that we find ourselves where we are today.
What a journey. What a story. God I love this football club.

Business park? Is that what you call it! It is an industrial estate!
Our coaches were last out! Took forever!

It was an awful night, place, ground, weather and just about everything else shite you can think of - If I remember right Edghill gave away the penalty with a clumsy tackle from which a lad called Micky Bell converted - Pretty sure with had on loan Everton striker Michael Branch up front who couldnt score in a brothel for us but returned to haunt us a year later while playing for Wolves when we got smashed 4-1 !!!
