Wanderingred Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hartlepool playoffs home leg. I was at uni at the time and spent my money on coming home for the Blackpool game, convinced we were going to nab 2nd place. Grrrr. I managed to get funds together for the final though...fml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Arsenal away, first game after promotion to top flight. Won one nil Coventry away, same season, draw to stay up. Both games I was still at School at couldn't afford it. Next one will be the game we win the title at this season, it's bound to be a game I can't make.

Me and my dad couldn't face the bus ride from Madrid to Seville so missed West Germany v France. Proved to be a classic. yeah also should say when I was playihg local football[ a f...kin long time] missed out on some good ones. if our game was called off early enough we would try and go and watch a decent game anywhere!! always tried to talk em in to going to the city. but one Saturday when our game was called off the lads set off for the midlands to take in W.B.A v COVENTRY. this was another game I thought f..k it can't be bothered. it ended wba 7 /0 cov what a **** I was, the albion had regis up front and laurie Cunningham on the wing!!!

MarcusX Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Supporting since 93/94. Iv made pretty much all the big games but I missed Hartlepool! Was the night before my last day of year 11 and we had a huge party. I still remember exactly where I was when I got the call from my dad to say we'd won and we were going to Cardiff, for that terrible day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did not miss anything with the Wrexham cup tie. We were awful that day and got out of jail to get a replay in which we got dumped out of the FA Cup. Wrexham of the Third Division that season and City in the First, had also knocked us out of the Football League Cup a couple of months earlier.

Big Red Rich Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I played cricket away to slimbridge on the day city beat palace away, wished I had gone to that. I've never scored any runs at slimbridge or anywhere else for that matter so no idea why I didnt go!! Apart from that I've been fairly lucky, of all the 1992 onwards games mentioned above I've been to, the highlight probably being Mansfield. The best day of my life being a city fan I think.......well Hartlepool aside perhaps! Actually I didn't make Anfield in 94 (was 12) so that's probably my answer to the question!!!

Wrexham of the Third Division that season and City in the First, had also knocked us out of the Football League Cup a couple of months earlier. If you want to pinpoint the start of our slide to near-oblivion, it was that game. Odd game though. The only one I ever saw, either in person or on the box, where both sides came back from two down, . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
