Phileas Fogg Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 14 minutes ago, SecretSam said: Such a shame he couldn't make the most of his talent. Agreed. On ability alone, he was Prem quality. Just not quite athletic or consistent enough.. and enjoyed the social side of being a footballer too much. High quality player though. Really enjoyed watching him.

tin Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 What a great trip to Selhurst Park that was. We were on the Natch Express at 6am to be up there for the 12pm kick-off on a roasting hot day. Both goals were right out of the top drawer. There was less than 1,000 of us in the away end and what an atmosphere we generated. Absolute scenes when Noble scored. Shame it proved to be our cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 One of my favourite away days that........what a strike from Noble. Top player when he was on it, more ability than our current combined midfield multiplied by about 25, just didn't happen enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Great free kick. Why can't we show some invention with our free kicks now ? All we ever seem to do now is blast it either into the wall or over the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 As some other posters have already said, pretty sure more than 1000 in the away end (side)..? It went absolutely bonkers when Noble scored and walking back through Victoria station, it was just City everywhere and noisy! Definitely up there in the top 10 of away days!

I went when we lost to em 2 nil on carles debut and swear there was 2/3 thousand there I think it was because it was a 12pm kick-off, it was on Sky and the allocation was low, possibly for segregation as we were in the side stand. 1 hour ago, weepywall said: There was more than a 1000, think it was about 1700, didn't sell out tho, bizarrely. Palace gave us a small allocation and I'm sure I saw in a programme for the return leg that we only took around 900, because it surprised me at the time.

North London Red Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 1,921 City fans at Selhurst for the play-off game, compared to 2,880 for the league game earlier that season when we lost 2-0, according to this: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/fanzone/away-days/away-days-200708/ I believe we didn't sell our full allocation for any of the three play-off away games we've played since 2000 (Cardiff, Hartlepool and Palace).

East Yorkshire CideRed Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 What a day! I remember sitting outside a bar in Balham afterwards and a group of City fans spotting my shirt.

It doesn’t help when the club announces it’s sold out though,we all wanted to go but didn’t even try to get tickets in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
