Big Red Rich Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I noticed they got tanked 8-1 at home yesterday in the cup, brings back memories of us hammering them 9-1. They love conceding goals don't they!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Wendall Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 9-2 wasn't it, remember that game fondly as we were singing keeper what's the score from the ateyo, their keeper pretended to lose count and shrugged his shoulder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes it was 9-2. Did anyone get a hat trick? Think Matt Hewlett bagged a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 For a club that size to make the first round proper is financially huge. Alright they got tanked, but I bet they've made a fair bit of money getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes it was 9-2. Did anyone get a hat trick? Think Matt Hewlett bagged a couple. Matty did get a couple. Ago got 4. Goodridge, Kuhl and Nugent scored the rest. Can't believe it was nearly 17 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Shame they're out, really. Would've made a nice away day. A pint or three in the Olde Fighting Cocks, a nice stroll through Verulanum Park - and the only chance we'll ever get to witness a Ryan Taylor hattrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 To be fair, they tried to play football at the Gate rather than putting 11 behind the ball. That got a bit of appreciation from Dolman A and Atyeo F? Blocks after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Verulamium** - (The Roman name for St. Albans - making full use of my 4 years of 7 studying the Romans) Yeah, was a bit unsure of that one... Gurt big park it is though. At 100 landscaped acres, well worth a stroll down to the Roman museum at its furthest end.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Does anyone remember the 11-0 drubbing of Chichester at the Gate, I can't remember what year it was, but I can remember their keeper laughing after the last goal went in.

Shaftesburyred Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 St Albans did manage to get a replay in the FA cup first round abut 25 years ago against Bruce Riochs Torquay. Game was famous for the fact that they forgot to put any soap in the Torquay changing rooms. Made headlines on the sport pages of the Sun- must have been a very boring 1st round that year!

MrBibs Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I remember Spurs played their reserve matches at St Albans a few years back. As they were playing City and I was living in Aylesbury I decided to go on watch - only to find out on arriving that the match had been switched to Ashton Gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 A mate of mine lived in St Albans when City dicked them 9-2 (it was 5-0 a half time, BTW) apparently in St Albans' next game, their opponents scored and all their fans started chanting "We want nine! We want nine!" IIRC, the write up in the Guardian gave us a bit of a telling off for not entering into the spirit of the FA Cup, etc. A few years later, didn't we annihilate some little team in Essex 7-1 at their place? And they scored first?!?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaftesburyred Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Also famous for Sopwell house hotel. England used to use it as their base before games. Was working there when Ipswich. Stayed there before an FA cup final. We all got woken up in the middle of the the night before the game when a fire alarm went off. Think they still went on to win it.

North London Red Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 A few years later, didn't we annihilate some little team in Essex 7-1 at their place? And they scored first?!?!?!?!? It was 7-0, against Heybridge Swifts in 2002: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/2429717.stm Cracking away day - I remember someone had the bright idea of putting part of the City allocation behind the home dugout. Every time their manager got up to say anything to his players he was completely drowned out by the City fans. I felt quite sorry for him by the end but to be fair he took the banter fairly well! That same season we went on to draw Harrogate Railway away in round 2, which was still, to this day, the coldest I've ever been at a football match.
