We had a decent team in 97/98.21st February 1998
1 nil win v Barnsley
Dublin penalty
I can remember a few Liverpool games in december that had a number of goals. Terry gibsons hatrick in 83. The one that you refer to & I recall a 6-1 to them & possibly another where we scored 5We had a decent team in 97/98.That was a horrendous game to watch though, as Barnsley parked the bus and the luggage, well and truly.
City 5 Liverpool 1 in 92/93 was my first. I was then expecting this kind of result every week, haha.
You were hooked even though you sat through half a game of boring passing?I always consider my first proper game being at HR in 1977 - Coventry City 2 -2 Bristol City.
There were a couple of rows of seats right at the front of the Main Stand, at pitch level. You sat behind a little white wall. Remember being so close you could smell the turf and looking up in awe at players like Hutchison, Powell, Yorath, Ferguson and Wallace.
Fucking hooked from that moment on.. and will be until it’s my time to say goodbye.
It was only the last 10 to 15 minutes, and I am not sure it was quite as blatant as reported. I was quite young but remember the match being really tense and exciting.You were hooked even though you sat through half a game of boring passing?
I was there too. It was boring.It was only the last 10 to 15 minutes, and I am not sure it was quite as blatant as reported. I was quite young but remember the match being really tense and exciting.
I took my cousin to this for his first match - not a bad start!We had a decent team in 97/98.That was a horrendous game to watch though, as Barnsley parked the bus and the luggage, well and truly.

I was sat in the top tier of west end when the Sunderland score came up on the board above the spoon Kop - my dad said they should go for a draw - Bristol had come back from 2 down so they had momentum - but it was not obvious cheating it looked like 2 teams who were very tired at the end of the season - we were 15 mins late kick off - all the Sunderland thing is rubbishIt was only the last 10 to 15 minutes, and I am not sure it was quite as blatant as reported. I was quite young but remember the match being really tense and exciting.
Did you see me there?1978 Cov 1-0 Leicester (Don Nardiello scored). Attendance 24,000. I was 10 years old and I can remember it like it was yesterday.
Which village near Rugby Ceetee. I lived in Dunchurch as a kid. First game at highfield road was in 1966 aged 5. Think it was a birthday treat so Feb 1966.Honestly don't know but would have been around 1959/60. Lived in a village near Rugby, no transport of my own, so had to go when and where anyone offered to take me. Had no link to Coventry so we went to the odd game at Leicester, not to support them but because they were First Division

Bourton near DraycoteBourton
Yes went through Dunchurch everyday on the school busBourton near Draycote
More of a hamlet than a village
Nice place to grow up and only a couple of miles from me.

Was always the case with Liverpool and Man U I sat next to Liverpool support family in the west end a few times but no one got silly -Although I had been going for over four years this was the first game I actually remember, I was 11.
Remember fans seemed to be mixed in from both sides. What really sticks in my mind is the players casually passing the ball around and that did strike me as really odd.
…. This Saturday
Of course they had that terrace for us amongst on the left - now that place was cold !1-1 v Ipswich, 27th Dec 1976
8 years old, with my Dad, on the Kop (recall us moving right to the very top for some reason)
Being December, remember it was bitterly cold, wet, and decidedly dank, no surprise..
No mate, I was on the old Spion Kop (crow's nest)Did you see me there?
I was best man at my brother's wedding and I was under strict instructions from my brother and parents, not to go to the match, but I sneaked out and made it for the game just in time.
I was the one wearing a three piece suit and white rose in my buttonhole, standing right behind the goal in the middle of the West End.
Yeah remember that game. David Smith was tripped in the box in the 2nd half and we equalised with a penalty. They dumped us out of the cup in the replay, which was one of the worst City performances I'd ever seen. The dark days of Terry Butcher & Don HoweView attachment 29908
Dad to me before the game: "Their no. 9 is meant to be good!" Dion Dublin scores the opener.
First I can remember was aged 7 in 1956 but sure I saw some before that it was V Southend Won 2-0
Now 75 and annoyed too handicapped now by Parkinson's to get down but will be with you all in spirit watching in a Pub up here now in Ripon
Over 25 of family still in Cov are going
Will miss you all
