A feel good thread for those lucky enough to be there and experience the moment.

How great does our ground look full? Thats hairs on the neck time for me...That day had everything for me apart from a win. Excellent.

Haha, what a day!

 

[skybluegod]

wow that looks awesome i wish we could fill it out like that every match it would be amazing

But how many of the 'home' fans were supporting Coventry?

I remember how odd it was seeing it so full. I got there really early too as CWR made me panic about the traffic.

pretty sure the Yeovil home match will sell out, no ?

Its what the Ricoh could have looked like every week with a bit of ambition from SISU. :jerkit:

If you look down the links on the right, about six or seven down you will find highlights of the 87 semi at hillsboro, i prefer that with 21000 city fans standing on the kop.

Strangely, when the ricoh is full, it makes it look really small, but in a good way. Intimidating.

However, despite this, we seem to lose when its full/ close to, so it seems we are intimidating our players rather than the opposition.

as soon as poeple turn up, we lose

I remember that day, i was fuming at the amount of people standing by us with their 1987 shirts on (that couldn't fit over their stomachs). Pretty certain that was the last year they'd been to watch us too...

What a waste that day, Chelski never really got out of second gear.. I don't even rate half their team and they were running rings around us.

My memory of the chelsea game is the 2 blokes who sat next to me. Both had the limited edition chocolate away kit. They knew all the names of the chelsea players but only leon best of the city side!!

i think the richard shaw testimonial was the largest attendance coventry win, sadly due to a high number of people from coventry in the away end. strangely the first thing i thought was how small the ricoh looked at the chelsea game.

How many went to the win over Wolves in 2005/6?
