123456789000 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 With all these negative threads flying about, I thought I'd ask what are your personal, happiest / proudest / favourite ever City moment, whether it be a particular goal, game etc. Being a relatively young City supporter, mine has to be the pitch evasion following promotion in 2007.

TRL Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Louis Donowa goal vs the Gas, years and years of draws and losses ended. The only time I have left the gate with no voice. I should have said promotion or play off games, but for pure emotion noise and bragging rights, it tops all games for me. It was a pretty scrappy game as well.

It was a pretty scrappy game as well. like yourself TRL, I should be voting a promotion clincher or a wembley appearance or suchlike. instead though, i'm going to go for beating the gas 4-2 at trumpton - after years of waiting to beat them on their turf, we finally did it in style in their last season there. a great day out that lives long in the memory.

Danny P Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Definitely has to be that Noble goal at Selhurst Park, best moment in my city life by a mile! Will's fun bus was rocking all the way home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 The day Pulis left. No doubting he's gone on to bigger and better things but it was an awful period for us. Also Steve Neville scoring that goal v Hereford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taunton_City Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 The 3-1 win at Cardiff in 2001 or the 5-4 at Mansfield both amazing days of which I shall never forget!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Paul Mardon's screamer at Forest, Matty Bryant's 30 yarder v Stoke, Trundle's equaliser v Palace & Basso's backheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkjn Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Christian Roberts scoring to turn around the result against the monkey hangers in play off semi second leg. Can't remember the year. But it was a pretty special moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm in my early teens and have only been going 8 seasons so mine has to be the 2nd leg of the play off semi's at home to Palace! The Dolman stand was rocking! quite literally shaking! Brilliant moment! suprisingly that has cheered me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy082005 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Obviously all the predictable ones like Roberts v Hartlepool, Nobles goals v Palace and Rotherham. ...but for me , McCombe v Donny away in our promotion season. What a moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 94 at Anfield is by far my best night as a City fan. Then after the game our coach ended up at a pub in Huyton in that City. Spent pre match in the Aldephi Hotel in Liverpool city centre, until they had to shut it!! We should have put 5 past Liverpool that night, but one was good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghornred Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I was at all of those games but beating Liverpool at Anfield with a Tinman goal was tops for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, to their credit, they all came up and shook his hand and congratulated him. I'll go back to my childhood for my moment and say knocking high-flying Leeds out of the Cup in '74.

I have a feeling childhood memories and games from your teens are always more rose tinted. I love memories from mid 70's to early 90's from then on, as I have got older, football seems to have lost it appeal slowly, until I am the cynical bugger I am now Message to the Young uns on here. enjoy the football now, don't listen to whinging buggers like me. Then remember them when you are in your late 30's 40's and onwards. City of the 2008-2012 will be remembered as good, while the teams 2030 will be utter garbage with no fight or passion and Bryan will be a woeful manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Christian Roberts against Hartlepool. Just the most amazing moment I've experienced with city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 One nil down, two one up, we knocked Rovers out the cup...... This game at Eastville in 83/84? was the first high moment after the worse period in the clubs history. With the gas being in a division above us, this for me really marked the end of a period in which we nearly ceased being a football club. Finally there was light at the end of the tunnel and the whole day from making our way to Eastville to being frog marched back to The centre, when our car was still parked on Muller rd, surrounded by unhappy sags was just great fun that I hadn't experienced before.

Maltshoveller Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Anfield 94 Jimmy Mann v Forest (When forest were a million times better than they are now) Tony Thorpe header v Gas on a friday night (sky game) 3-1 win v Chelsea in fa cup 2 from Turner (When chelsea were just another little london team miles behind Arsenal and spurs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Most of mine have already been mentioned, but another great one was beating Coventry 3-0 away to go top of the Championship in September 2007, we took over 3,000 up there that day.

CiderArmyy Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Christian Roberts goal against Hatlepool, the second that ball hit the net you could hear the cheer from the servern bridge Also remember games like 1-0 against Doncaster Mccombe scoring in the 88th minute. And more recent times the conventry game looking back was pretty special, considering we just couldn't afford to lose it. I'd rather go back to being a strong league 1 team then a shite championship team.

Rowley Birkin Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nev's extra time winner against Hereford, to take us to Wembley for the first time ever. Of course that orgasmic night game against Pompey, when we were promoted to the top flight. Nothing can beat that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antlers Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 i cant separate beating Chelsea in the cup and the promotion game V Walsall, so these 2 memories joint top and from the same season (89-90). The in no particular order beating the gas 4-2 at Twerton, the playoff games V Hartlepool and Palace, beating Carlisle at the Millenium Stadium (the only bit of silverware i have seen us lift) and lastly even though we lost, the atmosphere at Ashton Gate for the league cup semi final V Forest.

I was there, I think Byfield got two. 2 memories stand out for me, David Noble at Palace and the flare game against the gas at Ashton gate, near Christmas on a Friday night, I think they took the lead which made it sweeter. Always believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Many happy times so far, with more to come. A momoent in time that sticks with me is Wembley stadium, and looking up at the famous old scoreboard and reading, BRISTOL CITY 3 BOLTON WANDERERS 0, it brought a tear to my eyes, absolutely magical.

ralphindevon Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Chester away to get promoted was just the most fantastic day. A proper way to win promotion. As opposed to when we were promoted as runners up to ......you know who. Has any other club ever had a bad feeling in their stomachs after getting promoted as we did then?
