Sweeneys Penalties Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 5 minutes ago, Galway Red said: Taking just 5 points out of a possible 15 in the last 5 games ultimately cost us, it's no coincidence 34 goalscorer Super Bob missed those 5 games, if I remember rightly we had far and away the highest average attendances that year which was hardly surprising considering the great football we played, in my top 3 of most enjoyable seasons ever definitely.

Seems insane to even contemplate being that confident now an despite my winnings I was a bit disappointed it wasn't more than 4 Stoney Garnett was in the bar before the game and as he left did a little speech ended with 'I want to see every one of you ***** in here after the game' To be fair, he did come in after and did one of his routines, although I can't remember any City players coming in (At Twerton the players bar was also a members bar where a lot of fans drank}. I'm glad that my son (who is 23 next month) saw us beat you (the 1-0. Mickey Mouse cup semi final), I can't see it ever happening again, I'd die a happy man if I could see it one more time!

Miah Dennehy Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 On 29/04/2020 at 08:07, Hello Dave said: You’re spot on there, I used to knock about with Boris ( Dave Mehew) and a couple of other Gas players. We were in town a few weeks before the game and Mark Gavin came over chatting. He was boasting about what we were going to do to them and how much money he was on. I had a bad feeling about the game straight away! Funny how when it comes to football you get irrational thoughts about 'jinxing' things. I was at the Louie Donowa game with the lad who started the 'Where's your chairman gone chant' and from that moment I was convinced we would lose. On a side note, that particular chant was hushed up pretty quickly, but some in the open end that night tried to defend it as some perverse revenge for the Mickey Barratt chant a few years earlier. We often moan about modern football being de-sanitised, but you couldn't imagine in a million years opposition fans mocking a death nowadays.

Absolutely, as I said, luckily we don't see that kind of thing at football anymore , not in the real world anyway, unfortunately online is another matter.

I remember the Mickey Barrett chant, there wasn’t many, but it was chanted. Think that was the cup game when we lost 3 1. Takes a lot to shock me, but I was squirming a little bit when I heard it.

Sixtyseconds Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yes .. Met at the Huntsman by the Abbey. City smart chaps kept going to Jollys. They were doing a leave your clothes behind in the changing room and replace with Ralph Lauren free offer. Post game the chaps stated a game of bowls using cars. Not our finest moment but they put up more fight than the players did ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Went to the game in Bath with Rick M from Bath (RIP). He is on the YouTube video for those ITK. Good memories with Rick at football. Top lad was Rick. Met up in Bath off the train with Rick and quite a few others. Few ciders all day. Awful game to watch. Afterwards was lively. Always hated Holloway, always will. Not good memories. This game is one of the reasons I hate the scum. Football in those days was a lot different to today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 As a more younger supporter who wasn't even born when this game was played I find the Sags obsession with this game very odd.. making a massive song and dance about it and having one of their famous open top buses.. Just feels like it's fans of a poor, pathetic dying club clinging on to anything just to feel something again.. Then when this day is over they go back to being reminded they got relegated in their own shirt, in millions and millions of debt with no one to bail them out.. 2 tents and 4 white plastic chairs they're unable to fill out every game, the worst manager in the football league the list goes on..

I remember seeing their open top bus ride the year before in 1989. It stopped outside the Highwayman Pub. I stood there in my City shirt and gave them a nice reverse handed wave. This was after they'd LOST in the play offs. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds.like you've nailed it Ron. To be fair, we were a lot more even then but, if the fixture had been played on it's original date, we would.have battered them and they know it.

I remember them going up and down the main road by there beeping their horns when they’d qualified for the play offs that year. I was only 7, the old man said something like they were “sad bastards” and wouldn’t be going up. I remember their bus going past in 95 when they lost too, although at 13 my mum and dad made sure I wasn’t at home as I’d promised that I’d be ready with stones to lob at them this time! Younger supporters will find it hard to comprehend that in the 90’s they did have the better of us on a regular basis, thankfully their luck has dried up in the new Millenium.

Without checking the stats I remember us beating them just as much as the other way around, i'd say we had the edge, but not by much. But agree not much between both sides. I n the nineties we played them 18 times winning 9 drawing 3 and losing 6 so we were the better side through the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
