Men against girls eh? That’s a progressive insult form Club Legend Kruger

Very much so. I very nearly talked myself out of going today. So glad I’m not very persuasive.

Think it was Terry Evans… Talking to myself now!

I was at that game too. Some years ago I was chatting to theirGary Phillips, their goalkeeper at that time - Lovely bloke. When I told him I was a City fan he instantly recalled that match, remembering our fans being none too friendly. Said some of ours smashed the dressing room window to try to get at their players after the match,/warm downs. Was Droy the big bloke? Said he squared up to some of our fans outside the ground after the match.

Had to look it up. Think it must have been November 91 I remember some wag In the City end asking ‘Anyone want to buy a boat?’ During the minute’s silence for Robert Maxwell ?

I reckon that was 1-1 and both goals were at the Oxford end so didn’t see either

You’re a good man @Davefevs

Greg Goodridge?

Luke Wilkshire?

Went for a stroppy fast paced walk towards the end with us 2-1 down, keeping an eye on the score then giving up. At 16.53 I get a text from my 18 y\o daughter who was up there saying “Fell down stairs limbs” Thought it might be just a delayed message from the first equaliser, so was delighted when I checked the result. She gave me a quick call to say their fans were very loud when they scored “But we silenced them at the end Dad!” ?

I’m sure I recall the following season Freddie Sears scoring against us in the first half for Palace, but we came back with a very late Maynard winner to win 1-0 ?

I recall we sadly lost someone, I think to a heart attack, in the Dolman during the Gary Johnson era iirc. Medics tried unsuccessfully to save him but the game wasn’t stopped.

The security checks couldn’t have helped as many would have got in just before kick off. I try to spend my couple of quid with the club if I can. There was no queue for coffee and shortbread which was handy otherwise would have been a choice between getting drink/food or missing kick off.

That is great midweek away support. Worth bearing in mind though it’s their first time at Salford so a new ground to visit. I went to Salford with a Plymouth mate for a Tuesday night match in Feb 19 and they took over a thousand.

If I advance buy for Wednesday I assume it will be collect tickets on the night at the HPC?

Solid start at Exeter tonight

Let’s just say there are unlikely to be any “Full time scenes” or “Fan cam” YouTube postings from the club for this one.

Feels to me like today’s the day too, although I can’t see it being fun for long parts of the afternoon.

And is it just me who thought the chant of “City till I die” while the gentleman was being treated and then taken out of the stand whilst clearly unwell was a bit inappropriate?

The old fan songs that used to sung for Famara, Bobby Reid, Bryan, Pack, Flint, Webster, Paterson and a fair few others. Also East end bounce around followed by West Brom bounce around Some of it felt like a bit of gallows humour to me.

Nice write up. I remember seeing that “Seen one wall, seen them all” clip on Badiel and Skinner. Very funny. I’m surprised our record against them is even that good actually. Feels like a team we hardly ever beat. Recall an exciting 3-2 home win a few seasons back but not much else. Will be heading off in hope rather than expectation today.

Quite a lot of the men do too

Additionally, West Brom away. City sold out 2,000 allocation 3 weeks before the match. Rovers at Walsall (virtually same distance) took nowhere near that amount Another small factor is league 2 match tickets will on average be cheaper than Championship tickets

I remember that one. It was steaming hot. Went for.a quick wee just before full time only to hear a cheer for their winner. Akinbiyi scored one or two for them I seem to recall

I think you’re underestimating how much extra the Roker roar is worth to them. Not many expected them to beat Leeds in the final and it certainly seems to have given them some real momentum to take into this season.
