Oh Louie louie Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Andy leaning, unsung hero. I recall going to bury away, promotion season under joe. Bury had about 50 fans to the left, and i had a batman t shirt on. For the whole first half we sang bury got a batman fan la la la la. It was the bad, he came out in a jumper someone lent him for the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably because Grimsby is such a grim place. Steve Torpey scored on his debut and was then taken of with (I think) concussion. He looked a good player but never quite managed to score sufficient goals Yes, a very hot day I remember ,people water skiing off Cleethorpes !

Right lads , I’ve got a feeling we won’t lose at home all season . Millwall played us off the park and won. We got relegated We didn’t get relegated that season..or have we lost 0-3 at home to Millwall on the opening day a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Millwall just instantly springs to mind. So much anticipation going into it - proven manager, England’s goal keeper, full house. Then we did what Bristol City do best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red white and red Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Sam vokes came off the bench and went off about 3 minutes later, never to be seen at city again. Completely summed the day up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 3-1 against Barnsley the other year. 3 early goals and in cruise control, we looked really good and 3 -1 flattered them. That was during the peak of Johnson Ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Lots of fun and high jinx over the last 30 years. For all of that though, don’t let recency bias allow you to ignore the nature of our 3-1 thumping of Barnsley in 17/18. It was some of the best football I’d seen in 30 years. The subsequent 4 month spell was arguably the best football and team I have ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Opening day of the 1996 season, away at Gillingham. 2-1 up and playing well. Shaun Goater scored on his debut. Then we went on to lose 3-2. It was a long drive home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st because of the sheer positivity going into the season. The second because as soon as saw the team sheet with no new signings in the 1st 11. Starting the same 11 that were involved in the season before was just a feeling of "this isn't good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portred Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Sadly for me it’s the 0-3 v millwall. A dear mate of mine was days away from saying goodbye to this world due to cancer. He brought his season ticket with me at early bird prices in February, but never got to use it. I can remember texting him at the start of the game ‘wish you were here’ at 3 down I text ‘glad you’re not!!’ He was gone 5 days later, one hour past his 32nd birthday. Sorry, getting all emotional. Opening day for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 August 1978 listening to the radio with fans from an assortment of other clubs. "Bristol City 2" I threw my arms in the air; "Wolves 3" At which point all others in the room laughed. The Ref had awarded four pens that day.

Midlands Robin Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Here's one I almost forgot. 7th August 1999 - Reading 2 - Bristol City 1. Made famous by Gerard Lavin losing his head and belting the ball into the reading fans, breaking a womens wrist in the process. One of the strangest games I've ever been to. Spent about an hour waiting on the supporters coaches to be let out of the Majeski by the police as it was kicking off somewhere near the ground.

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Wasn`t that Blackpool game where they scored in about ten seconds played in torrential rain? IIRC it was touch and go whether it would be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Nice sunnyday it was latern, think your thinking of the blackpool away game?
