Oh my God yeah i remember being at that game. Really depressing ended up watching the fireworks instead of the football.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the most drab, depressing game I've ever had the misfortune to attend. Two poor teams playing out a dull game in front of a pitiful crowd that remained almost silent and disinterested throughout, only interspersed by the sound of fireworks outside.
Despite the complaints of some this season, the club feels light years forward from then, even though we are in the same league!

I dunno - the last game of the season (and ours in the prem) against Bradford at home when we drew 0-0 was more drab and depressing

I remember the loss against Grimsby around the same time.....plenty of unhappy fans refusing to leave the ground and then having a sit in, in front of the Grimsby coach. Police got confused as couldn't push people away!!
Yeah, you look back now during that season, and if anyone had told you how bad it really would get you seriously would not have believed them for one minute.In this period we only one one game between December 2002 and September 2003, it was so bleak and I think we thought things couldn’t get any worse.. how wrong we were.
In that period we were also taking a few hundred away, I just looked and we took 195 to one game- now we’re getting 26k per home match, 5th biggest away following in the league- it’s incredible really and just shows how we wasted a generation while most other clubs were making progress.
I've been in some very barren away ends after that era as well tbfIn this period we only one one game between December 2002 and September 2003, it was so bleak and I think we thought things couldn’t get any worse.. how wrong we were.

It was a dump but it was OUR dump though.Yea I listen to them singing,take me home highfield rd. And remember the midweek games on cold winters nights in the west end. Less than 10k in the ground.
Shity discussing toilet,wooden hut at the back passing for a bar. No problem getting served cos there was hardly any ducker there.
Ahh the good old days
I went to my first game there in 1962 so I get the nostalgia.It was a dump but it was OUR dump though.
I still think the old girl could have been redeveloped despite what others have said.
I don't buy into neighbouring houses prevented this or that. Just look at Anfield and how that has changed in the years we dropped out of the prem. That was very much landlocked with scores of terraced houses squashed up next to the ground and yet with careful purchasing of neighbouring properties by the club and a desire by their City Council to assist it's become a top stadium in this country.
Back to CCC again.I went to my first game there in 1962 so I get the nostalgia.
But when I am at the CBS I know where I would rather be.
Just need the shitty council to remove parking restrictions. Sod all the nimbys of today, the residents in the past put up with it for a couple of hours now and then.
Back to CCC again.
I hate them and I haven't lived in the city since 1980.
