gaz897 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Simple. Bristol City beating Liverpool at Anfield. I went to both home games, 1 being postponed and then to kick their ass up there. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayer Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hmmmm..the Hartlepool game was excellent and the game against the Gas a few season ago because it was the last day of work for Xmas hols and we dominated the game.( And that Aaron Brown sprint, cross, Thorpe goal )I think it was televised as well.

BrotherErnieFromBarrowGurney Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Beating Liverpool 2-1 at AG in 1977 in our (successful) bid to stay in Div 1. 38,000 in the ground, most of them in the East End I think.

Redtucks Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 It has to be the FA Cup replay in 1973 (I think!) when, having already drawn 1-1 at Ashton Gate, we went to Elland Road for an afternoon game (due to the ban on floodlights during the three day week/miners strike) and beat the best ever Leeds side (Jack Charlton, Billy Bremner, Allan Clarke, Peter Lorimer etc. etc) 1-0 with a Donny Gillies goal with about 20 minutes to go.The followed the longest 20 mins of my life. I don't think we got out of our penalty box. There were shots off the line, bodies going down everywhere, shots against the post etc. etc.But what a relief at the final whistle.Leeds were top of Division 1 (equivalent to todays Premiership) and had been unbeaten for about 28 games. We were a struggling Division 2 side.Next round we were drawn at home to Liverpool. No problem, we thought, they are only second in the league. We've already beaten the top team.We lost 1-0 if my memory serves me right.Happy days!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimihendrix Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Littlewoods Cup Semi Final against Forest. Just 'cause we were soooooooo close to , what was then, a proper cup final.Or the Derby Vs City game on ITV, I think it was 4-3 to City. It had everything, Sending off, Out field player in goal, great comeback, last minute goal and a City win. Amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonyate Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I was at Manchester when we beat Man u 0-3 Great game, the game that had the biggest inpack on me was the 2-2 draw at Coventry. I smoked at the time I smoked 22 fags in the ground it was the most hardest game I have ever had to watched. The first away game I when to was a cup match in about 1953 at Colchester I remember it mostly because because my Mum a big lady got locked in the tolets at one of the stop. This was a very long trip as there was no motor ways in them days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Faith Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Apart from some of the obvious ones mentioned above i think that when city beat colchester 4-3 away a couple of years ago it was one of my favourites. Its such a long way to go and such a dingy little ground and we went 3-1 but to come back and win it was awesome.Also the 4-4 draw away at Notts County a few years back was a really enjoyable day.

Fantastic! Got to agree with you Ernie so much depended on that match,if fans thought the playoff game against hartlepool had the ground rocking then there was an earthquake that night. then the following tues night at coventry 2-2 with 20,000 city fans there most away fans at any away ground. after final whistle on the pitch you couldn't see a blade of grass cause of the red and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunley Legend Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 The first leg of the Littlewoods Cup semi-final at Forest when everybody expected us to get totally dicked and Paul Mardon put us 1-0 up. We held out until about 5 minutes from time and drew 1-1. 7,000 City fans there that night and a fantastic atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Play off semi-final against Hartlepool without a doubt. I never screamed so much in my life.

Tunley Legend Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Another good game, on a lesser scale, was the Sherpa Van (or whatever) semi-final when we beat Hereford 3-0 after being 2-0 down from the first leg which got us to our first Wembley final.

Amazing I went to that derby game, city came back from 2-0 down & Derbys Andy Comyn scored an own goal to put City 3-2 up. The only thing that let it down was the Derby fans throwing coins and stones over the fence outside the ground after. Doesnt quite beat Liverpool at Anfield or the Hartlepool play off semi though.

Although you failed to mention that prior to the game Leeds were unbeaten at home for nearly two years. Also the 2-2 draw at Coventry was probably my greatest memory. What a night that was.

GoneWest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 No doubt Coventry away 2-2. Totally orgasmic more away fans than home - actually took both ends of the ground that night. I was with the few thousand late arrivals in the centre of the open terracing - the end at which we scored our goals - so will take some credit for the result given the match delay! Not too far behind - and I've still got the taped video that is normally played at 2am during 'drying out' rituals - the Forest away 1-1 semi. The noise from the 10,000 odd City fans that night was astonishing and when Mardon scored the place just erupted.These youngsters just don't know what they've missed.Odd that both of the most memorable matches were draws rather than victories.

magunn Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Best game for me a long time agoEastville really windy day late seventies, aged about 7 in open end with my dad. Played against wind in first half all Rovers, 1-0 down at half time. Cried at half timeAn old timer said 'Don't worry son we got the wind next'City score 4 in second half winning 4:1 never forget it.

GAS8ER2 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Battle of the Aloma at the Hawthorns, City won 1-0 to continue their push to Div 1 after seeing their woodwork save them 5 times and Gerry Gow so knackered he looked dead on his feet. A great day made better by going to Cheltenham Races on the way up and betting Night Nurse to win the Champion Hurdle to pay for the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
