I was in the Sky Blue stand. It was my brother's first game - what a start.
I was absolutely convinced that Liverpool would still win right up until the 4th goal. I remember that sense of relief when Gibson scored that goal.
Going into school the following Monday, with all the plastic Liverpool...
Memories of that awful afternoon in February in the Cup vs Ipswich remain raw. They played a mostly second string side and beat us at a canter. This will be a good test of how far we've come (and how far they've slipped).
The steeper stands are a real asset. Far better sightlines, more imposing, it feels larger. But it doesn't have the slightly frightening over-steepened feeling that you get at Reading.

The last two matches we went to Street Bar SR1, which is a sports bar in the city centre. No problems on either occasion - indeed, lots of chat with local fans. Not a place to start singing Jimmy Hill songs, though.

Today, the area to the southwest of the city centre (e.g. Nether Edge)...
Yep, agreed. West St / Division St is quite student orientated. The Cambridge Street Collective is a fantastic place for a wide range of street food and a drink, and a good, lively atmosphere. Kelham Island / Neepsend is more indie, less student-orientated and fun. Chop Shop is great if you are...
