GeoTheCiderHead Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Bit of a random post, but in my 11 years of supporting City, I've gotta say the loudest I have ever heard Ashton Gate was when Christian Roberts scored in injury time against Hartlepool United in the play-offs. IT WAS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DEAFENING!!! Anyone know of a time when Ashton Gate has been louder??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some big crowds in the pre-hillsborough past though, and didn't it always "seem" loud in the East End???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mightymilks Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Aparently the referee (Graham Poll i think) wrote in an article for a national newspaper that, that game was the loudest hes ever officiated in (including champions league semi final at The stadio Del alpi at juventus)!

Even the old grannys by my were shouting like crazy. It was a very emotional/exciting end. Don't forget there were also a lot of fans, and the fans are relatively close to the pitch.

Guest marcclifton Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 AG was always very load in the late 1970's. When we were in the 4th div it was dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 The goals that spring to mind were Beadle's and Millen's against the Gas. I think we were 1-0 down at half time and those two quickfire goals were absolutely roof blowingly loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didnt care that day!People had to keep asking me to stop saying "WHAT!?!" whenever they asked me anything for the next few days!And when we stuffed Notts county, that was quite loud too!Dollymarie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 When we were in the 4th div it was dead←Er, are you sure? I remember there being a very good atmosphere at times down in the 4th.What I particularly remember is the 'Dunkirk Spirit' on the terraces, the complete lack of whinging and the hilarious 'always look on the bright side of life' sense of humour around the ground.Loudest I can recall off the top of me head though are City v Liverpool in 1977 (38,000 crowd), City v West Brom in 1979 (30,000ish) and......... as someone else said, Forest in 1989 (Brian Moore remarked on the deafening noise in the commentary) and............... Hartlepool last season. Whether that was as loud as the Liverpool game is difficult to say really as EVERY match was deafening back then in the late 70s and the hearing suffers a bit after a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesco Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Only been going since early 90's so for me it would have to be either the Liverpool game (this however may have been because I was a kid but seemed loud) or a cross between the Hartlepool game or when we beat the gas 3-2 just before xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboy-BCFC Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Harletpool for me too, couldnt bearly speak next day, probably doing that red army chant for 20mins + the 2 goals, i also remember Southampton in the league cup was pretty loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_pill Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I was watching the DVD of the Hartlepool game this evening - god, watching those last five minutes sends shivers up my spine. What's weird about it though was seeing Danny celebrating - made me feel kinda sad. I was never his greatest fan in the last days, but we haven't really seen days like it since he left, well, not yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRed Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 The loudest I've heard Ashton Gate was in 1941 when the old grandstand was bombed. Thankfully I had an umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Red Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Yeah. The atmosphere at that Forest cup match was amazing. Another good one was when we were 2.0 down to Hereford from the first leg, and beat them 3.0 at The Gate. When that third goal went in everyone went crazy. Also, when we beat Chelsea in the cup was another loud match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton Kate Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 The game for me had to be the Hartlepool game I have never quite heard anything like it before but when the Dolman Stand moved I had tears in my eyes. Another game that springs to mind is the Notts Forest game ,my cousin Paul Mardon played that day and I have never forgiven him for getting me tickets in the open end. I got bloody soaked. We were unlucky to lose that day.Another would be the 5-4 gaame away to Mansfield those who had left the game eraly must have been gutted but the elation on the faces of the fans who witnessed a great comeback will stay with me for a long time.

madmax Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 1. Hartlepool2. Notts Forest League Cup Semi3. Bristol Rovers three days before Christmas when we won 3-2In that order.I took my wife to the Bristol Rovers game and she said it was deafening. But she was at home with our baby watching the Hartlepool game on SKY and when Roberts scored the winner she heard the noise above the TV and we live in Ashton Vale, now thats loud.MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
