My son's first embarrassing cup defeat.
I'm sure he'll see many more.

Five years. Doesn't seem that long ago. Day started badly too, queued for ages on the A46 just going into Cov, I think they were building that new bit of road for Jag or whoever, made it with five minutes to spare. Horrendous. Burge sending off, Reda's awful penalty, Steven Pressley...

bumped in to a lad I knew in the Wheatsheaf before the game, big city fan and a great lad.
Told me he had had cancer but was over it on the road to recovery. Never saw him again, it returned and he never recovered, real shame.

Ah, poor sod. I was luckier than many, many others and I never take anything for granted. Hopefully, it was just a case of you not running into him anymore.

no, he didn't make it mate, I didn't find out until I a while after the funeral.
Sorry Torch, forgot I who I was posting to and that you'd had your own serious illness, hope I haven't put a dampener on your Saturday.

He was cross, and wanted to plant his nut on everyone there.



Anyone know specifically what happened?

Similar. My daughter (she was nearly ten at the time) expressed a desire to go - I was so chuffed, she'd only attended previously as a babe in arms/toddler with me and her mum. Flatly refused to go any time after!.
Day got off to an appalling start as I called in at petrol station and shoved the card in the wrong slit of the card payment pump (stop sniggering at the back) In (partial) fairness these were newly replaced machines that I was unfamiliar with but a large slice is down to my own fuck wittedness. I couldn't remove the card.
For once, preparation was my salvation via having another card.
Game unfolded as we all know.
We left (at my advice) shortly after their second.
She hasn't requested a return visit since.
The only good part of the day was the remembrance day issue match day programme.

Wasn’t it something to do with Redas urine test & the piss being the wrong colour or something & Pressley being angry about seeing Reda laughing after the match? Just remember seeing this written somewhere

I think that Worcester game and result illustrated just how far our club had fallen.

Somebody should turn that into some sort of strapline to be applied to any bad news related to CCFC. Perhaps even come up with an initialism.

Not as far as when we lost to Sutton I assume?

Don't be silly, absolutely not.

Poor, poor man. We seems to be clapping fans who have died almost every game. So sad.

The trip back from that was so depressing. I remember similar desolation travelling back after a mid week defeat at Scarborough.
