City Scout Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm going to Chesterfield on wednesday night.Been there 5 times before, seen us lose 3 times, draw twice, & watched Tinnion, Aaron Brown, Butler, & Jamie Smith all get sent off there.Plus last seasons match where some of the City fans had a go at Gary Johnson.Throw in the fact that its a dump of a ground with an open air toilet, & I have to say that this is definatley my bogey ground, but I think this is the season where I finally see us win there.Whats everybody elses bogey ground, & do you agree we will win there at long last???

RedTop Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I have a soft spot for Saltergate, crumbling weed-strewn terracing and all. I love old traditional grounds which smack of generations of history and atmosphere, and while I accept the need to move on and for clubs to upgrade to new, identikit stadia - and that it's crucial for City to get up to the higher divisions - I admit one thing I will miss if/when we get into the Championship is the old grounds like Saltergate that have their own character.

kiwicolin Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 It is my birthday on Wed and we are going there as a birthday treat.So we just have to WIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm with Red_Top I like the place immensely. I like terraces (I'd prefer it if it had a roof) but hey ho. Even if it is persisting down I shall stand on that Terrace ala York and enjoy the match.It is a bit of a bogey ground, as Blackpool was but we overcame that one so........... Perhaps it is more down to the players attitude, shit ground, no fans etc etc. Well they have to battle for the right to play at Upton Park etc etc next season.

22A Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Bogey grounds tend to come & go. In the 60s we nearly always lost at Cardiff, since the 70s we won there regularly in the League. We ALWAYS lost at Northamoton and Hartlepool. Last two visits to H'pool and three trips to the Cobblers have been City wins.Last four visits to Scunny, Posh and Wrexham were City wins, now this season (when it matters) City lost at Scunny.

NiceRed Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Notts County is a bad ground for me. Never seen us even come close to getting a point there. Seem to remember us getting a 4-4 draw there a few years ago. Needless to say I missed that one. On the other hand, I've seen a few comfortable wins at the New Den, so fingers crossed that'll continue at the end of this season when we could have a promotion decider there.

Went back to his homeland of Moldova. He was playing in Korea at one point with Paul Cooke whos now at Shrewsbury. That goal was a hell of a goal at Chesterfield.
