Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Brum at home 1967/8 stood on terrace where Dolman is now; many moons ago, was a season ticket holder for the first 2years of the Dolman as well sat right on the halfway line but that was enough, the Eastend was my home and will always will be; great memories there; they can take away my access but not my memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Bury at home. 1-0 just after that Chelsea game.Birthday treat, I was 8. I've since forgiven the Old Man for he did not know what he was doing...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Blackburn at home in 1991/92 - the season they were promoted to the Premiership. We won 1-0 with an Allison goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 0-0 draw with the Gash in Oct 1999! My best memory of that day is Tinnion running over to take a corner and urging the Dolman to get behind the team, I've been hooked ever since.

tin Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 City vs Southend Utd in the old Second Division (now Championship) in January 1992 was the earliest I can remember. Finished a 2-2 draw and even though I can't remember who scored for us I remember Brett Angell, Andy Ansah and Stan Collymore all playing for the Shrimpers.

PhatWill Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 5th February 1994. The game after we beat Liverpool at Anfield...A 2-0 home win over Tranmere Rovers.Wayne Allison and Tinnion with the goals. I think Tinnion's goal was similar to the one he scored at Anfield a couple of weeks earlier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 1979 home to Arsenal, lost 1-0. Fantastic game.1981 home to Sheffield Wednesday, I think we lost again. Rubbish game and atmosphere.If you don't live in Bristol these trips are rare and so really special trips. I still remember the roar of "Bri-stol" from 1979.Wasn't old enough (and wealthy enough) to start going regularly until the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASSO Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Bury at home. 1-0Same for me although I think it was in 97 so they're different games but same outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderEagle Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Late 1996. I was working in Bristol and at a loose end, so I thought I'd check out the local footy teams. City were playing Luton, a team I have always hatedfor reasons I can't even remember, you know how it is, so I thought I'd pop down. It was a very cold evening so I bought a hot chocolate from the bar behind the Atyeo and went up the steps to look for a seat. I was standing at the entrance to Block E at the top of the steps with the City team warming up when I saw a ball heading into the crowd, hit by David Seal I think (hence the reason it was heading into the crowd!). It wasn't heading anywhere near me but it took two deflections and hit me full in the face, spilling hot chocolate down my jacket, arms but not too much on my face luckily. Got a huge cheer from the City faithful behind the goal, which I milked, seeing the funny side... City won the game 5-0 and I was hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red`s Ashtonic Lustpit Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 home to norwich,early 70's.we lost 1-0 but bowyers sponsored the game.i remember being ecstatic because i managed to get a free pork pie that was thrown into the park end!i was hooked after that.have never had a free pie since Yo, Scants!Slightly off topic, but remember Oxford away, with the pie going the other way and almost taking that plod`s earhole off?That coupled with the JB incident....superb.My first game was during the dark days of `81. Wrexham at home, and we lost 0-2; for some inexplicable reason I was reeled in. It would have been cheaper if I hadn`t....I would have paid off mortgage by now with the savings!!COYMR.

As you say, pretending it hadn't happened wasn't really a possibility so I took a bow to all sides of the Atyeo and went to get another hot chocky - which incidentally the buggers tried to charge me for !

Milton Red Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 My first game was a League Cup match between Bristol City and Rotherham United in August 1979. City won 1 - 0 and Tom Ritchie scored the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednready Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 We did this before Christmas, so I remember that my sisters diary said that Dad took me in 1947, I was 4. Even though its been more than 60 years, I still get a thrill out of being ecstatic or suicidal. I am sure there is a red and white bar in heaven. For the record, I've never seen a City player better than John Atyeo, not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 11th Oct 1986 beat York 3-0.Think Leaning was in goal for York. Like most other people, from that point I was hooked.I've waited a long time for a season like this, all of a sudden the 21 and a half years of (mainly!) hurt seems worth it.
