Tinmans Love Child Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 In my first season as a City fan (89/90 promotion season) with Bob Taylor, Rob Newman, Mark Gavin and all the rest, we played Walsall at home last game of the season winning 4-0, I remember the crowd stood around the pitch and Junior Bent came on as a sub and was running down the wing with the fans only a fag paper away. Hopefully history will repeat 25 years later!! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time we have just beaten our local rivals 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Derby well, I was 11 and listened to it on the radio and I'm not ashamed to say I cried that night, dreaded going back to school the next day to face the grief! That's why I want the title more than anything, to right the wrongs of 25 years of hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 We only finished second that year so I hope it's not history repeated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted April 8, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 We only finished second that year so I hope it's not history repeated! EXACTLY !! Not sure they would play the game if that happened this day and age. BEFORE, getting ahead of myself - clearly we'd need to stay off of the pitch for the trophy presentations ??

'Orns Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Last time we played Walsall at home on the final day of the season and got promoted, we also threw the title away.....lets hope that doesn't happen again. Super Bob picked up a thigh injury with about 8 games to go as I remember, done for us The 3-0 at Trumpton was one of the lowest moments of my time following City. I remember all through the Walsall game there were rumours R*vers were losing at Blackpool, and we were top again....can't happen in this day and age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 That Walsall game was there was a rumour that NLBR who,were at Blackpool were 1-0 down , 2-0 down 3-1 down etc etc (They were winning comfortably all along) and every time a new rumour shot round another pitch invasion resulted - there must have been 4 pr more before the final whistle !!!

Kingswood Village Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I was in the enclosure that day - missed the first goal as my dad and his mates decided they could do another pint and still make the game! Remember some lad leaping like a salmon out of the crowd and heading the ball - then they announced the crowd as 16000 when clearly there was a LOT more in there. Happy days, soon to be repeated...

Fordy62 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm pretty sure that was my first season going to the gate. Didn't we also trounce Fulham that year and maybe Crewe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Beat Fulham 1-0 away on ? Boxing Day Fordy but can't remember the home game Crewe we hit for ? Six ? But was the game where SuperBob (The real one !)'scored a,cracking hat trick and then pulled a thigh muscle, just as he was about to be taken off (which cost us the title to some tinpot outfit) On a secondary note Fordy - was it you I managed to help out with tickets for the Hull Play Off ? Did you collect them from Winterbourne ? Not important - just curious if I'm right in 'placing' you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Blimey where's my six gone Mixing up with Huddersfield the year before - six incl another SuperBob hat trick Went to every game that season but just cannot recall the Fulham game Grey cells not as young as they were but that's a worry !!!!

One Team In Keynsham Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Was up in the Dolman with mates and my Gas-supporting old man. By the end I was pitchside (Christ knows where he went), and was on with most of the invasions as the rumours flew about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just looked it up. Beat Crewe 4-1 and Fulham 5-1. I think Bob Taylor scored a hat-trick against Crewe but pulled a hamstring after the last goal. And that was the end of our challenge for the title!

grubby Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Think I remember a Dave Rennie chip the keeper from the edge of the area in that Walsall game? Remember one of Bobs goals vs Crewe was a thunderbolt from 25 ish yards, stunning. GREAT memories other than the trumpton result, should have been sooo different if Gavin had beaten their stopper when one on one in the early minutes...
