Major Isewater Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 We are good as a big fish , possibly a Carp, in a small pond. There just doesn’t seem the courage to push on and get to the top division, which is frustrating for those who have seen us there and who have had enough of turning out against smaller clubs in the lower leagues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 That's the only one of our FLT finals that I missed. I gad tickets, for the kids as well, I thought a day at Wembley would win them over as City fans. Sadly, I injured my back a few days before and couldn't go. Gave the tickets away. Gutted.

1960maaan Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Enjoyable day, strange too . I knew we would win , not even a second thought, we just would. It was more a celebration of the season. What really made the day . We caught the train and into Harrow ( I think) found a pub and settled in . Then a coach of lads I used to go to football with, 30 odd years before , turned up . Got a photo similar to one outside the Ship and Castle with 5 of us both . Then the train was delayed, because some ******** got stuck in the toilet , it took 3 1/2 hours to get back. Good day though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when we beat Bradford by 6 to go up, we had a few minor scares early on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 (edited) It was undoubtedly a great day out and there are some very funny stories from that day, but given our resources we should be looking at proper Wembley days out, not the Mickey Mouse Cup. Way were currently going though it’ll be the Mickey again before anything else Edited March 22 by lenred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizzleRed Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Geat occasion and I extended it with a few days stay up in London, so had a cracking time. Some great memories of a time when we could take some genuine pride in the club we support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days many clubs have easily identifiable badges. Wolves is the obvious one as is the Foxes. In the PL Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs along with every club are easily recognised simply by their badge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Nearly every game that season I was so confident we would win , went to nearly every away game that season too was always confident , great team , highlight beating Swindon at the gate after they had already one the league in November ( ******* ) and getting promoted away at Bradford 6-0 as the game was unfolding in front of me at valley parade I just kept thinking is this really my Bristol city , it was oh to have those days back again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Bcfc Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 As memorable as that season was I’ll be delighted if we never have to play another LDV Vans/Johnstones Paint/Papa Johns/Checkatrade trophy game again in our history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the same train we came back on, it was actually 2 people stuck in the toilet much to the humour of those around us.

I’ll never forget seeing a City coach that had stopped on the M4 hard shoulder to allow half the passengers to offload some of their bladder contents, whilst many cars slowly passed blowing their horns Edited March 23 by RedLionLad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
