Cheers.I don't remember the full line up, but I'm sure it was Chris Garlands first match back for the city after he returned from Chelsea etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I remember about this game was the fact that City hit the bar at some point, and nobody knew until they read it in the paper next day.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 This was my first ever time watching City. I was 6 years old and all I can remember is standing in the enclosure in front of the grandstand (Williams) with my dad & not being able to see ##** all.Not a great start, but I've ben going ever since!

Over 30,000 crowd that day I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Garland hit the bar and i think the chant got up to about "nine nil nine nil" before the game was abandoned.Ive got the programme somewhere but would take me a week to find it !!

Uncle Ern Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I was there what a laugh.Unfortunately I tried to walk down Ashton Road just as Leeds were let out and had to squeeze between the buses that were adjacent to the park in order to preserve my life.Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I remember every time the ball went up the leeds end and out of sight of us the chant would be "we want two" "we want three" "we want four" and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a stack of programmes with that cover and have been threatening to put them on e-bay for a couple of years now. Without doubt the best memories of my City-supporting career though, so I'll probably just keep them and get them out for a look occasionally when things are looking bleak Ah yes, memories.

Pewsham Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I remember thay actually started the game with a White Ball and changed to an Orange one after 20 minutes or so. David Harvey must have got quite confused. I also remember Stormin' Norman kicking Ray Hankin up the arse and disappearing into the fog as the Referee blew his whistle.

Old Dazzler Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I remember we beat them in the re-match 1-0 or 2-1? to grab vital points (2 points for a win in those days) which helped keep us up that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherErnieFromBarrowGurney Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Be careful using the programme to see who played that day. The programmes were printed in advance and because of injuries/tactics were often wrong when it came to matchday. Some Old Boys even used to update their programmes with a pencil as the teams were read out over the tannoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest revkev Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 The replayed game the following May was a vital win, with Chris Garland (who'd been getting a lot of stick from the fans) scoring the only goal in front of the East End. It was one of many important games during that month:Norwich away (lost 2-1)Middlesbrough away (0-0)Liverpool home (won 2-1, both goals by Chris Garland)and, of course,Coventry away (drew 2-2, Gow and Gillies). I still go tingly thinking about that night in Highfield Road, a rollercoaster of emotion and the sheer delight of celebrating with Coventry fans in the pub afterwards. That's what being a Bristol City supporter is all about (well, that, and laughing at the Gas ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would possibly have been for Anarchy in the UK: that, I think, was a 76 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would possibly have been for Anarchy in the UK: that, I think, was a 76 release.But the re-arranged Leeds game would have been in May 77 I think? This was when God Save The Queen was released on Virgin (having previously been pulled by A&M when they sacked the band back in March). So ads for GSTQ could have appeared in programmes around that time, rather than in the original Leeds programme. I don't recall it though. Anarchy in the UK was, as you say, released in 1976 (in November) and the band would have been out on the Anarchy tour around the time of the 1st Leeds game. I'll take a look through my 76/77 programme collection for any Pistolian content! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
