    If you don’t mind a 20 minute walk Sandford on Thames is good and easy to get away from.

    Quiz question

    One of my first away games too. My mates dad ran a coach company and had a job to pick up some Cov fans at Pool Meadow. Me and my mate were probably 12 or 13 then - load of right bruisers got on coach. Got to Derby parked up coach and police got on to tell th to leave any weapons on bus as they...

    Team of players no longer with us

    That’s good to hear, he is part of my Sky Blue history. Graham Oakley was the 1st RB that I can recall, followed by ‘Scoop!’ and then the fantastic Danny Thomas. There may have been others but the memory isn’t as good as it used to be.

    most ever CCFC fans in one ground

    I’m with you on this RoS. Only ever went to Upton Park twice, 1st time that semi final night where it was kicking off all evening ( I particularly remember Gary Thompson going to pick the ball up for a throw in at the side of the pitch where all the green bomber jacket guys were and getting...

    Match Thread Notts County v Coventry Friday 18th May

    I appreciate we have achieved nothing yet but where would we be if MR hadn’t gone to Huddersfield? That is in no way a criticism or anything but just having seen him on Sky applauding the SBA the thought popped into my head

    Me and 2 mates went down to London on Friday to make a weekend of it. We wanted to do tour of Wembley as soon as we arrived and got train from Euston to Wembley Central. On that journey we were mugged in broad daylight on a fairly busy train by 3 black lads, one of whom stuck a knife in my side...

    Well, You been giving it all the talk

    I was at university in Canterbury in the early 90s and had the misfortune to live in Herne Bay for a year on western esplanade (the end furthest from town). The only pub my mates and I felt safe going in was The Ship (IIRC). I remember travelling back from HB early one Saturday to see us lose at...

    going into last league game with something positive at stake

    I have exactly the same memory of Shilton’s save. I was also at the Bristol match which IIRC ended 1-1, I think Ian Wallace scored in front of our fans. I was stood at the opposite end of the ground with the home fans. It was carnage outside after the match which for 14 year old me left a...

    4000 to Notts County Possible?

    I’m with Grendel on this one, we didn’t sell out at Leicester on many occasions, the last one that springs to mind is when Clingan missed a penalty. Villa used to be poor too in the 80s and early 90s. I went to a replay match at molineux in the FA Cup where a few hundred of us were stood on the...
