I struggle to recall any trouble at Highfield Road involving Villa.... but i can't think of a time i went Villa away and there wasn't any trouble. The relegation game was ridiculous at Sick Boy says. The atmosphere in the Rocket pub and in Cov station on the way out there was crazy.

I went to a Senior Cup game at Nuneaton Boro away in the 00's (can't remember exact year but it was at the old Manor Park boro ground). A grand total of 4 city fans...

if in doubt kick it out

Similar (but to a much lesser degree) to Mansfield who blew their load against Ipswich, and didn't have anything left against us.... i think we will suffer due to the combination of league schedule, and probably not reaching the highs of the Wolves game, and Manchester United having a bit more...

As mentioned in another thread, things could easily regress..... look at Sunderland (i know they're a bit of a shambles in comparison to us at the moment)..... they would have been fully expecting to do similar. That said, i have the same hopes.... a full season-long attack on promotion...

National Road Relays today at Sutton Park. 65 of the top clubs in the country toed the start line. 1st Leeds City 2nd Bristol & West 3rd Highgate Harriers Not seen final results yet but Godiva were around 35th (and 7th or 8th Midlands club.... a massive improvement over our 16th at the...

Funnily enough, they are older West Ham fans, and Alf Garnett did feature in our discussion!

No idea. This pub isn't Longford, but is firmly in CCFC territory (without necessarily being a "known" City pub)

On a similar note, a group of West Ham fans are stopping at a pub, approx midway between the above-mentioned Attleboro Arms and the Ricoh, this lunchtime. They do the same every year on the way to Wolves away.

Don't remember that one.

We played them last game of season at least twice, maybe even three times, early/mid 90's. I wouldn't know about the one in 92. 93 or 94 I think we were 3-1 up in the last minute but they scored twice (possibly both by Rod Wallace), and yes I think Cov got chased off the pitch by the Leeds...

Yes that was rough. I was specifically thinking of a Portsmouth fan who got "caught" in the East Stand..... can't remember if it was the same game or a year or two earlier.

Whilst i wouldn't personally choose to jump up after a goal if i was an away fan in the City home end.... i don't think its any more "risky" than it was 25-30 years ago. I'm sure most people here have seen away fans literally get kicked down the stairs and out of the exits at Highfield Rd...

It is a bit.... someone referred to 1996 earlier in the thread... which is incidentally when Leeds got a good kicking on the pitch last day of the season.

I've done a couple of 33 mile ultras in Yorkshire/South Pennines.... so probably quite similar to your Dartmoor race.... i think there was about 4500-5000ft climb in total. I think when its that short there's a tendency to go off a bit hard "oh its only a little bit more than a marathon"...

Might sound rather callous of me, but i'd prefer the large away allocations over trying to squeeze in another couple of thousand City fans. Atmosphere generally (not always) better with a large away allocation, and makes our noisy support more up for it as well.

Yeah I expect they were gutted they only won the European Cup in 1982 compared to our single fa cup win.

What are you doing and how far? I've done (i think) 12 ultras, but mostly on the mountains. And never more than 45 miles. Finished 8, dnf'd 4. My one attempt at a 104 mile Ultra was quite a spectacular dnf after about 30 miles. Only flat ones I've done are Coventry Way Ultra x2 (dnf'd first...

We had a club session last night. Seem to be in a prolonged run of every club night being abysmal weather. No exception last night with heavy rain and wind. A couple of miles jog to warm up, then a few drills in the Phantom Coach Car Park (attracting more than a few comments from the smoking...

Track session last night at Godiva/Warwick Uni track, in utterly foul conditions. Really wanted to atttack this and hit some good rep times, but the torrential rain and howling wind made it difficult. 8 x 400mtr reps with 2mins rests. Nice and simple, just bang them out as well as possible...
