Exactly, we played Norwich away in the cup years ago, in their days of Robert Fleck and terracing and our end was rammed! Alot more than their crappy effort. We lost 3-0 IIRC and a mate got nicked for stealing a coppers helmet. That was bloody funny mind. Edited January 6 by Ska Junkie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there that day, went to the toilets after they scored , think this was the first time I'd seen TVs showing the game at a ground. Just looked and it was 2-1 , I'd forgotten we got it to 1-1 before Fleck scored. I remember the most random of meetings with a lad who lived on the Street next to me and my mate in Bristol. We were just leaving the pub and bumped into him, as I say random. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mates carpet van did some miles in those days with about 20 of us in the back. Edited January 6 by Ska Junkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a surprise as the journey seemed to take about a week, I expected to get off the minibus in Amsterdam the amount of time it took us to get that far East.

I remember staying with relatives just outside Bedford one weekend and making a last minute decision to go to our game at Norwich. I left about 11 and only just made kick off!

For two years I was stationed at RAF Coltishall, 10 miles North of Norwich. Going home for the weekend was a major undertaking. Had to leave Bristol 3.00pm Sunday to get back to Coltishall in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rudolf Hucker Posted January 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 7 Imaginary West Ham supporting mates of mine said that Bristol City are the best team, by far, that they’ve ever played against and the noise made by our supporters was louder than all of the planes at Heathrow taking off together.

Just bumped into Danny Dyer, he said he’s binning off West Ham and supporting the mighty reds. Travelling in those numbers is unheard of in the premier league. Said he was surprised we weren’t touted to join the super league with support like that.

22A Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Norwich fans ain't happy with their own players or fellow supporters. https://forum.pinkun.com/index.php?/topic/155066-todays-the-day-the-joy-was-finally/ and completely for now, sucked out of this great club. Nigh on 20 thousand supporters there for an unfashionable but potentially exciting tie against a mid table league 1 side. Starting with our main strikers, our best defender and club captain and defenders who have been involved enough this season. In fact other than Forshaw virtually every player in that starting line up had previously started games recently. It was a strong line up. The ground is full of new young supporters, probably here for the first time this season, excited at a potentially positive attacking display by city and what do we end up? An abjectly poor, lethargically mind numbing, painfully disjointed and frankly tediously boring 1-1 drab 90 minutes of uninspiring pointlessly ineffective football. Hang your heads in shame Norwich senior management. The coaching/tactics/in game management/will to win attitude/forward fast integrated play/aggression etc etc etc, is missing in action yet again. Enough is enough. Sort it out NCFC, this is simply not acceptable, otherwise I strongly suspect you will reap the whirlwind that is coming! Even the diehard ‘ happy clappers ‘ on here are keeping well below the parapet tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many SC holders, and no SC holders, myself included that didn't get tickets, our own fault for taking too long but we don't have tickets regardless. I reckon we could have taken 5 figures in all honesty. Easily would have taken 10k+ if more tickets were available. I just have a membership so no way got a chance for a ticket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make that atleast 18000. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
