Ashtonwurzel Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Anyone else go to any of these games in the late 70's/early 80's ? I saw St Mirren and Morton down at the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two dozen Jags fans came down in a 'plane. City were winning 2-0 and at one stage all you could hear was "Bristol, Bristol give us a song"! THE game of the Anglo Scottish had to be that battle in Edinburgh where City had two sent off v Hibbs, but we won on aggregate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So close, my only excuse was my age ... was a young nipper and remember that was the first (and only) time I ever went in the Dolman and was gobsmacked by the view - was only ever used to peaking over the EE wall!

I remember my maths teacher taunting me that we were losing 2-1. City drew 1-1 at Luton in the Anglo Italian Cup and progressed to the next stage where they would play two Italian clubs at home and another pair away. The first three of these games were defeats and the fourth was drawn. This was at Cremenese on a wet windswept midweek afternoon. Despite a contingent going from Bristol, the attendance was a mere 535 spectators! Cremenese went on to win the competition and brought over 1,000 fans to England for the final.

22A Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Expanding this thread; how many cups have City competed in? I can think of nine; anyone know of any more? FA Cup, League Cup, JPT, Welsh, Anglo-Scottish, Anglo Italian, Gloucester, Watney and Friendship. For you younger Forum Members; the Friendship Cup was played H & A between City and Bordeaux. The Watney Cup was a preseason tournament. The two top scoring teams from each of the four divisions who had not won promotion played a knockout competition over 8 days. As replays were impossible, the penalty shoot out was introduced. City stopped playing in the Welsh Cup when the Welsh FA decided the winners would only be permitted to play in Europe if they were Welsh. In the late 80s the Final was between Shrewsbury & Hereford, so one of the beaten semi finalists was put forward for the Cup Winners Cup (now part of the Europa League).

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Zenith Data Systems - lost to Reading on penalties in 1990 (?). Do you count all the different JPTs - Freight Rover, Leyland Daf etc.? I guess not as the league cup has been called a load of different things over the years.
