swanker Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Louis Donawa scoring the winner against Rovers was pretty good. Also beating Hereford in the semi final at Ashton Gate was something special back in the day. A day out at Wembley was a big deal back then.

WhistleHappy Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Umm, seem to vaguely remember something a bit exciting happening one Tuesday night vs Portsmouth around the mid-seventies. Somehow a few of us (probably a million or so at least) found ourselves on the pitch looking up into the Grandstand cheering some old fella called Harry and some other blokes...

Septic Peg Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Best crazy moment? Hartlepool play off when Roberts scored the winner. I was in the old Luckwell Club at the time. Honestly, the roof might as well of collapsed because everyone lost their shit. Grown men crying, kids singing. Just an amazing atmosphere.

Spoons Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Best footballing day of my life 27th December 2001, Cardiff city 1 Bristol city 3. Loved it for many reasons. I hate Cardiff, the atmosphere was the most intense I've ever watched city play in, build up pre match was amazing was with all my mates and it was the day I realised that was the day as a17 year old that I couldn't live without bristol city!!

Dr Balls Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The whole of extra time against Palace in the second leg of the play off semi-final in 2008. The atmosphere was intense and when Trundle scored a pearler followed by McIndoe's long range free kick Ashton Gate just went mental and the loudest I have ever heard it! Getting one over Warnock never felt so sweet. And he couldn't even blame the ref (Howard Webb) as they missed a penalty in normal time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I don't know why this one has always stuck out for me but it was the 26th of December 1998. We were at home to Milwall. Earlier in the season we had gone on a good run after anthe up and down start but when we moved into 2nd we were still 10 points behind Watford. A couple of pundits had said we would never close that gap. Just before half time against Milwall, Rob Edwards had scored from a header and I think we were 2-1 or 2-0 up. The word filtered around that Watford were a goal down and we'd just gone top of the league. The place went mental and for the rest of the match the atmosphere was brilliant. The game ended 4-1 to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Constant Rabbit Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Swindon in the 80's. I hate that horrible scummy town and club (had to live there for 3 years...shudder) Just before the game where trouble flared all afternoon, I was in the public bogs on way to ground on my own - 3 swindle came in and one lad thumped me twice in the back of the head while I was having a slash. My mates were about 20m away down the road and were in no position to help. The arseholes ran out straight after hitting me. Karma - about 1 hr after the game we saw this bloke coming out of a chippy - it did not end well for him. I've never really got 'stuck in' viciously at football, but this coward had it coming (and it was one on one, my mates were told to stay out of it unless more Swindon turned up). I'm embarrassed now, but at the time gave me great satisfaction, especially as one-on-one he wasn't as 'tough' as he was 3 on 1 earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 That Donowa goal was a fantastic moment - pandemonium in the central section of the EE, especially with the goal coming after Hollowhead's penalty miss. Another one that stands out for me is the 5-4 win at Mansfield. I've never experienced euphoria like that at any other "normal" league game. From that moment when Roberts scored the winner onwards (wild celebrations in the away end, trouble in the car park afterwards, journey home, phoning my dad who had switched off the radio commentary when we went 4-2 down and still thought we had lost) everything was a happy blur. I'm still so glad I went to that game. Special mention also goes to Flint getting his hat-trick in the 8-2 thrashing of Walsall. That's still my kids' favourite game. The uniqueness of a defender getting three goals topped off a fab day in a game that had been a bit flat at the start. Lots of happy singing in the Hen and Chicken afterwards as well.

Typical City; when I'm hoping for a dull 0-0, they overturn a 1-0 deficit, romp to a glorious away victory and I can't celebrate any of the goals. I'm not sure what was worse, having to politely applaud the Cardiff goal or not celebrate any of ours.

Frenchay Red Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Agree with many of the memories on here.

Unbelievable, never seen anything like it, last 15 mins or so at 2-2 neither team wanted to attack, over 15000 City fans ecstatic and even more Coventry as well.

The second wasn't a diving header, it was a straight forward header from a cross that Clemence should have caught but made a hash of. But agree with you, a great occasion. I recall everyone clapping Liverpool onto the pitch that Monday night as they had won the League Championship two days earlier. Just over a week later they won their first European Cup. It has to be admitted that they did rest Keegan and Joey Jones for the City match with the FA Cup Final and European Cup Final their next two fixtures.
