A lovely tribute. Despite the sadness of it all, it's wonderful to see that enormous grin across Cyrille's face after so many of the goals. Such charisma. When he sprints through and smashes that one in at Hillsborough, I can't help punching the air :)

There tends to be some “grade inflation” when we get the win. If we’d lost today (as could easily have happened if Swindon hadn’t passed up so many chances) I reckon there would have been some very low ratings dished out. Burge 7 (but 2 for his distribution) Grimmer 6 Stokes 6 Willis 8 Davis 8...

Sorry to hear you missed that brilliant game, but yes it was dangerous alright - swept off my feet a number of times that day. In hindsight, I wish I'd raised a complaint or raised it with an MP or something, but it would have been futile. And it wasn't only that ground where it used to happen...

Brian Joicey’s early winner at Molineux in 1970 that took us into Europe – got caught in traffic & arrived just in time to see & hear the goal celebrations of the City fans from outside the ground ☹ Ernie’s “donkey kick” – just about the only home game I missed that year, because of some kind...

Ah, the delights of Moss Side :)

Some people remember where they were when Kennedy was shot. But I remember more important stuff, like where I was when Bodak floated it over Corrigan - listening on the radio in the car park at Pool Meadow. It was a memorable moment even in sound only:) Wish I'd been there, I went to a lot of...

Can't say I got vertigo, but it's certainly the biggest and most concentrated mass of Sky Blues fans all under one roof that I can remember. That end behind the goal held way over 20.000, and I've just looked at the total attendanced for that game - 51,372!

Plenty of good shouts, and I could "like" a lot of them. But for me it can only be Gynn's equaliser at Hillsborough in the semi. In that huge terraced end it sounded like an atomic bomb had gone off.

Ah yes, the radio commentary went something like "and he scores, in off the bar, no it's been saved, yes it's a goal, no it didn't cross the line" I was in a heap on the floor.

Caught up with the pre-match item from last night's Chelsea / Norwich game, including Dion getting upset, and right enough it got me going again. One thing is clear this week, there's not a soul in the world of football who doesn't regard Cyrille as a wonderful player and the greatest of guys.

Don’t know Nick, I haven’t looked into the details and like I said it was only a quick suggestion having skimmed the thread, trying to be constructive and not picking at anything. As I commented very near the start of the thread CCFC have done a great job for this match and let’s hope it’s a big...

Briefly skimmed some of the posts about having to be a JSB to be let in free (?). Maybe a compromise would be to let all kids in free, but then have people going round and signing up as many as possible to JSB (with suitable freebies etc.) once they are inside the ground? Just a thought - I...

Anyone know of any other tribute programmes for Cyrille that are scheduled, or that I have missed and might find on catch-up TV?

Very fair points. And if the allocation is less than 8,000, I suggest it doesn't make sense to allow each ST holder to buy four.

Really good stuff from CCFC

That's exactly what I'm saying - more Marty's needed!

That's not how I see it at all - it's mainly just the atmosphere of travelling in large numbers to support your team. More people leads to even more people. Beer might be a slight factor for some though :)

I agree, as I said.

And neither do I, as I said! It’s just a matter of where you draw the line – for me, priority and a couple of tickets each would have been enough. Then the limited allocation wouldn't have been so much of a factor. Match package holders, who surely we want to reward as well, stood almost no...

I didn’t mention bigger ground, I agree with all PUSB’s 3 reasons (post 341). The younger generation I’m talking about* aren’t children – people in their 20s or 30s have never known a successful City team have they, which is shocking. How many of our ST holders are in that age group, and how...
