cidered abroad Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Ref the last 20,000 plus crowd for a cup tie. My guess is Chelsea or Cambridge in 1990 or 91. Gas to be before we went all seated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight is an opportunity to reel a few more in, to grab some occasional, undecided types by the whatsits with a full blooded evening of end to end cup tie football exhiliration. We failed to do this a year ago v Hull, we botched our big day v Brum, we flunked in front of a big crowd Saturday (and the West Brom at home cup tie was poor, too), it is time we took the long view - as the club have done in other areas - and seize this opportunity. Even if we lose, we can win over some folks with the manner of the performance and the size and support of the crowd. Let's not go out with a limp and the proverbial damp squid.... £5 for u-19s. Half Term. Bring the kids . Then they'll be supporting us vs. Man. Utd or Chelsea in the Quarter Finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Some great replies to my 20k question, good research all! One of my oldest memories of watching City is a vague recollection of a Tinnion free kick against Charlton at the old open end. Can't remember anything more than that.

Cider-Head23 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Despite the poor performance/result on saturday there is a real feel good factor around the place at the minute. 20,000 for a midweek cup game against an average premier league team is nothing short of superb. It helps that LJ seems to take cup competitions seriously, also the fact we are 90 mins away from a Quarter final, which we will very likely get a massive team, or who knows a winnable game with a huge chance to get into the Semi final. If we were to win tonight and draw the winner of say B'Mouth Vs Boro at the gate.. then we have a very big chance of getting into the Semi final .

ChippenhamRed Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Wow! Genuinely @Hillzider, thanks so much for that - for whatever reason that Tinnion free kick has stuck in my mind as one of my earliest football memories, and that's the first time I've ever seen it since! My 10 year old self was in Dolman block A (or maybe B) that day. Turns out how I remembered it in my mind's eye was pretty much exactly how it was.

I’d forgotten how dominant we were in the home match v Liverpool, probably because the focus is always on the replay win at Anfield. The replay shouldn’t have been needed given the amount of chances we had! Dave Martin’s performance that day really stands out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 There have been bigger cup gates in the last 30 years, but any bigger home only turn outs than what could well be 19/20k..? Baring in mind that Liverpool, Charlton & Everton probably bought 4K ish each..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
