Swindon away under Coppell. Lost 2-0. Rained throughout and it was a seated open end. Got soaked and an abysmal performance. Truly dire.
Has to be this.
Got in early from London and set off for the ground so that we could find pub near to the ground so that we could leave the pub near kick - off - mistake; should have stayed in the town and left the pub early.
Couldn't find anywhere by the ground and ended up in a massive housing estate. As luck would have it, we did eventully find a pub mostly filled with our 3 fingered friends. Hardly any City in it and the locals took delight in letting us know that they knew we were City. To be fair, no trouble but they were pretty unwelcoming.
To the groung - if that's what you can call it. As Luddite says, open away end and it was pouring down and got soaked. Worst perfomance and after their second went in, I left with about 10 minutes to go; that's the only time I've left a game early.
Only good thing was that City had a good following that day and kept singing.
It's for days like this that we deserve the fortune that is The Sheik...............
TRULY appalling day all round....................
