Such a shame we never got to do it in 1988.

Don’t think we will ever again.

Think oldskyblue did, somone posted some tweets with photos from the game, (it might actually have been me!), and someone from here was in the photos, fairly sure it was him.

Fun memories and stories that I'd never heard. Thanks for this thread @Hutch11 and to all that have posted their remembrances.

I've got more (the "7-4 victory" against Man Utd at their place when all our goals were scored after the final whistle according to the Cov fans present, the Anfield "Battle of the Bellies" between Razor Ruddock and Quinny) but I'll make space for others to share.

Ha, yes. I remember that day at Filbert Street. Lost 5-1 just before Christmas. When we got outside the ground, the police herded us away from where we'd parked out cars.

I was there That Sunderland night in 63 "Blaydon Races coming from their fans all night till George and Dietmar shut them up.2 days later joined queue for tickets at half past 1 for the Saturday(Man U) sale time should have been 5 pm.It was in Britannia Street 6 deep around the ground by then .The club started selling them at half past 3 got mine and was back home by 7 o clock .
Memory is fadeingI would have bet my life on the game being aTuesday night no Monday.That winter games were played whenever the grounds were playable (big freeze).We played 14 games in 42 days extra time in the second Portmouth F A cup game 3 in 5 days at Easter no subs then same teamalmost every game , fatigue was never mentioned.

And that Portsmouth game went to three games the third at neutral ground While Hart Lane we might have played that game Sunderland and Manchester United in a row as said above I reckon it was the same eleven for all three games.

Sutton 2-1 (FA Cup), Northampton 1-0 (FA Cup), Scarborough 3-0 (League Cup), Rochdale 1-0 (League Cup) ... yes, I was there when we lost away to lower league opposition. And to make matters worse, I was captured on TV dropping my head into my hands as Scarboro scored their 3rd and winning goal. Oh, and on the train back the next day, the ticket guard was a Villa fan. I loved that trip

I was at the 2-2 draw at Gillingham after being 2-0 up and the loss at HR in the replay, the 4-2 loss at Wycombe and the lucky 1-0 replay win at Woking.

I went to Bayern away, possibly the youngest City supporter there aged fifteen. Still gutted I couldn’t get to Trakia Plovdiv away in the previous round.

I was in the main stand at that game with Linekers mate, Willie Thorne, sitting right behind me. All I seemed to hear was him chorteling every time Lest*h scored. Bobby Goulds walk onto the pitch wasnt seen by the ref thank Gawd.

I was there when we lost the Simod Cup semi final at Reading. Given it was a nothing competition, the atmosphere was electric.

Went to Trakia Plovdiv, Bayern was only a couple of weeks later and too expensive apart from losing two days again off work. My foreman hated ccfc with a vengeance. Northampton Town scuffer.

Remember going to Scarborough for a cup game and losing. That was a long drive home too.

I was there when Les Sealey came back to us on loan, and played his role as the pantomime villain to perfection.
