REDLEE Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 The Brighton play off was the lowest moment for me, although Forest away last season was bad... setting that record run of defeats. What a difference a year makes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dodgy pen and Wallace scores at the death....Freefall from there! Was that the FA Cup game? Lost 2-1? I was gutted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City came out, Sinclair ran up the White Flag and the rest was history. Got back to the Hen and Chicken with a mate and just drank... and drank... and drank... with many other City fans, in a totally silent pub. It was utterly surreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Wasn't at the 3-0 at the Azteca Trumpton, but the 4-0 when Allison was in charge (maybe his first game?) was a rather deflating 90mins. That said, the play-off loss to Brighton probably edges it, for the utterly shambolic manner in which we did it. Hull didn't bother me anywhere near as much.

Hull didn't bother me anywhere near as much. seeing the glee in their faces makes me mad to this day. By the end the away end had emptied to half-capacity with some hoardings going over and, i remember, someone setting fire to their own city flag. The team had let everyone down and then some. Mind you, we got em back later that season 2-1 at a packed Ashton Gate (thousands locked out, gates going in) in a match that although it didn't send them down, was a big nail in their coffin. Arguably, and despite returning to Bristol a few years later, I don't think they ever really recovered from that night which alone gives me a feeling of contentment. I agree with the sentiments about Hull. We'd gone beyond all expectations that season and while it felt we never really turned up at Wembley, we'd played all season with pride and togetherness. There was no shame that we finally hit a wall and ran out of steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too soon. This one for me too, I recall being sat on a kerb after, having found an off licence, trying to drink as quickly as I could to blot out the memory of what was, a shambolic game and Wilson had to go after that......

BRISTOL86 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hull playoff final by orders of magnitude, then Cardiff in the playoffs in the early 00s and then the 0-6 in the league takes some beating for sheer amount of misery crammed into 90 minutes.

Pezo Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I came away from the Hull game thinking that was a fantastic season, I was really proud of what we had done and I could easily have another season like that again. I came away from the Brighton game thinking bugger another year of playing a load of shit teams and were never going to get out of that poxy league, just never going to go anywhere!

Just the vivid recollection of their player reeling off to celebrate with about 70 away fans in the background, when we near the bottom of L1, with about 10k there hit Home. Nicky Shorey was a shambles that night. JET saved our bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westred1 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Spotting my mate run straight towards the away end after Rovers' win in 07. Swansea 7-1 is up there as is Wolves at home 6-1, and Cardiff 6-0. Cardiff in the play-offs at AG when Neil Alexander had a blinder was hard to take but the Brighton defeat was just awful.

WelshRobin Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 1. Loss to Hull in the play-off final, the journey back seemed to be endless, especially with the sags hanging banners off the M32 bridges. 2. Loss to Stoke in the Johnstone Paint final, the winning goal being hit from a free kick whilst we were still arguing with the ref I believe. 3. 0-6 defeat vs Cardiff. From what I recall some company had bought all the programmes and wrapped them in their advert and gave them out to the fans. Turned out to be very poor investment when 95% of them ended up being thrown on the pitch at half time. By the end we had reduced ourselves to singing 'we want one'. I was one of a small percentage who stuck it out to the final whistle. Not made any better by having to sit next to a Swindon fan at work the following day, who had won that evening. 4. Going 1 down vs the sags at AG, December 2000, luckily that moment didn't last and we turned it around. 5. My first ever trip to AG, aged 8. Was taken for indoctrination by my Dad, Uncle and Granddad to watch City vs Milwall, April 1991. We were 1-0 up at at half time, then lost 1-4, thanks to a Sherringham hat-rick. I wondered exactly what I was being brought into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting thrashed 6-0 at home by Cardiff was the most disillusioned I've ever been with City. Can proudly say I threw the first paper airplane that day! I second that - I mean the humiliation at home by Cardiff. It was an evening game - perhaps four years ago? . A freezing February night with sleet driving horizontally into the Dolman stand. And i remember the Cardiff striker (whose name I have forgotten) taunting us home fans with V signs after scoring. I think he scored twice that night. We stayed to the very end (God knows why) but by then there were about 500 of us left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheringham tore us a new one, but the mad thing was the chances we had we could easily have still won! effectively that match knocked us out of the play-off bracket. evil atmosphere with what felt like thousands in the park after!
