Swindon away..open end..pissing down of course..gene kelly stuff
Nial Quinn's injury time equaliser was the best I got as wellHaha I did both these. 10 -0 in a week. Missed 3/4 Klanfield games in 30 or so years, never seen us win
Really weird atmosphere that night. It felt really strange in the context of that day.The Notts county away in the league cup on 9/11 was a bit crap, I think we were one of the only games to go ahead, there was a bit of a somber mood and obviously most people talking about what happened, just didn't get the normal vibe of an away game on a Wednesday night.
If I remember we won in extra time that cheered us up abit.
I remember turning to my mate when we scored to go 1 up early - “let’s hope for 4 or 5 as I have something on next Tuesday for the home leg and can’t make it”Lincoln 98 - midweek I was 13, took 2 days off school, got beat, motorway closed on way home, got back in morning
Serves you right for going out with a ragBrighton away - FACup - early 80's. Travelled by coach - organised by Poynton WMC. Coach broke down on M1 and we supporters had to sit ( in the rain ) on the hard-shoulder right on the Luton exit. My girlfriend at the time was a ManU fan and the rags happened to be playing Luton that day. So we City fans were being mocked by the many rags exiting the M1 . My girlfriend included.
The replacement coach eventually arrived and the new coach driver performed miracles driving through the back streets of London and getting us to the Brighton ground for half-time by which time City were already 2-0 down. The game ended 4-0 after which John Bond resigned. My second team -Stockport lost 9-0 and ManU won 2-0. It was a long long journey home.
Didnt he actually say he'd enjoyed one of our beatings there that week?Alan Balls a football genius
