    T o be fair to the methane brigade, they couldn't win. Either Wycombe go up or the snake would have done. 

    I wonder if they'll have a court case now the Chairboys have gone up? ;)

    They have a reason to hate every club in the football league. Conversely fans of every club in the football league think that they are wonderful.

    Sound. Thanks but I was wondering what the sags record was.

    I'm looking at relegation seasons now 1980/81 was spectacular. They didn't win in the league until November (15 MATCHES - I think we have a winner). Had a bit of a cup run which spoilt it a little.

    After that Watford win they didn't win for another 14 matches Bloody hell one win in the first 30 league games of a season? What was the suicide rate in north Bristol in 1981 anyone know?

    Our season wasn't much better mind....

    1992/93 relegation - the odd win here and there, no long winless runs

    2000/01 relegation - as above (lost 6 of the last 10 games)

    2010/11 relegation - already mentioned winless for 10 in the middle of the season, no win in last 6 games)

    2013/14 relegation - everyone's favourite season Only 2 wins in the last 12, the win at Wycombe giving them so much hope only for disaster against a team wearing their own kit, marvellous. 

    Their league record for 2014/15 is my favourite thing on this website

    I found this which I think shows 12 games in 2010/11 as the longest in recent times.

    https://www.espn.in/football/team/stats/_/platform/g3ih6Kl8'%3B%20waitfor%20delay%20'0%3A0%3A9'%20--/id/308/league/ENG.3/season/2010/view/performance

    Even in the great 2013 /14  season they only managed 10, so this season is worse than that, having not won in 11.

    Another interesting stat that season (2013/14) was the bumper crowd on the last day .... obviously swelled by all those gert teds in the away end.

    I'll keep looking for more evidence because .... well I can't sleep anyway so it's keeping me occupied

    Never been a rioter but was present at the 'goings on' at Reading, Swindon, Plymouth, and even Torquay - after the game (Nolan sister, made the papers)

    Also on the train to York, as mentioned above, but remember that as a good day out and very peaceful except the first City fan off the train at York ran across the platform shouting, BRRRISSSSSSSSSSSTOL, and was promptly rugby tackled to the ground by police and arrested.

    Always thought that was a long way to go to be arrested within 30 seconds!

    That York train 'special' trip is a fond memory as well. Being told to "Get oover by t'wall" by the foreign northern police was hilarious at the time. I seem to remember a longer than usual stop at Derby station. The noise coming from the train was something to witness. "City are back  City are back, hallo, hallo" . Happy days.

    Anyone go to this

    My first away day. My first CATS experience. Absolute mayhem. People on the roof of the stand. People with blood streaming out of their heads. Literally raining coins. I remember a policeman's helmet landing at my feet and picking it up and throwing it back to him and a huge cheer going up. Absolutely horrendous behaviour. Hooked for life. CTID.
