Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Is that the game where it kicked off behind the open end at half time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamussy Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Great clip there. Thanks for posting. That was my first ever city match. Me and a mate went not supporting city at the time but went away hooked. Can't believe 24 years ago... I remember on the way there was loads of fans sprinting across the park. Was an electric night that had me hooked forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Cole was a different class. I can't remember him missing many chances. I think that only changed once he left Newcastle for man yoo, I think he got a bit complacent with the amount of chances created for him. I know people think she was arogant etc etc but he is far and away the best finisher I have seen at the gate in my years supporting city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I saw from the Eastend, both the home and away areas on the open end disappearing off the terrace presumably to join the action out the back. Gate was forced open I believe.

Well.....not quite forced.......There used to be massive corrugated iron gates which were usually padlocked, of course, A Welsh friend of mine, who we gave a lift to, didn't want to wait for the toilet queue and had to relieve himself against said gates......In the action of doing so he said he rested his arm against them , in the time honoured fashion of male relief, and to his surprise they pushed apart.....only slightly , so he pushed a bit more, curious to see what was the other side.... he really is an all round nice innocent chap, believe me, so he was totally shocked to see an equally long queue of reds a few feet in front of him and quickly he tried to close them before he was spotted.....Unfortunately a few taffys had noticed and promptly said "well done butt. ..you opened the gates" before storming through.......still talks about it today , whenever we bump into each other. ...I believe him...

Absolute carnage in the corner. Guy Whittingham got the first 3 of his 40 odd goals for Pompey that season. Ended up with 88 points and finished third!

Fodbarmyarmy Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 They only got to top of the steps.. I was in B block and it almost emptied over the seats in A.....Not a particularly nice experience though tbh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Cardiff forced the gate open, but they didn't seem too keen to come through, once they did they soon realised they had bitten off more than they could chew, and couldn't wait to get back behind it!

Yeah that one I was closer to being in Dolman. Crazy scenes. Before the kick off I think.

I'm sure that game was the one where an announcement went out on the PA about 21:20 to say that the club had received info from British Rail that the last train back to London had been cancelled and the only train to Paddington was leaving in 10 minutes or something?

poland_exile Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 brilliant find, been trying to find this for years. Was a thrilling atmosphere and a rampant display of attacking football. The forwards were on fire, and Jacki totally mesmerizing. One story related to the trouble that has always stuck with me, i remember someone telling me that a few cardiff tried to rush the tea stand to nick the till - they met unlikely resistance from the tea lady mind who emptied a load of boiling water on them. I was up in the Dolman that night and remember seeing the ends practically emptying. A few cardiff did get as far as the open end itself and i can vividly recall them getting pursued right into the corner where they received what can best be described as an utter pasting. As for West Ham that season, i think the rumour was they had attacked a kid in the grandstand. A school friend of mine got chased to long ashton by a car full of west ham later and spent what he says felt like half the night hiding in a bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me & my brother were getting a cuppa when saw the gates open slowly then the Cardiff fans poured through. I thought we were in for a good hiding but they ran straight past us on to the terrace. Then a huge roar went up & they came running back followed by half the open end. To say they got slaughtered would be an understatement.
