It was a real downpour!Throw in Newport away, monster queue to get into a tinpot ground and stand on an uncovered temporary stand in the pissing rain. Literally drenched to the bone. All to see an average performance culminating in a very fortuitous draw. Worth it in the end.
IIRC it was Duckens Nazon with a cracking finishLet me add Swindon away on a Tuesday or Wednesday then. Left after work with my usual crowd in the car about 5. Accident on whatever motorway you have to take and arrived at half time. No card machine at the random living room window they called a kiosk and so borrowed the cash from my brother. Saw from about 50 mins onward to see that lad we had on loan whose name I can’t recall score. Then took about 2.5 hours to get home as the same motorway was closed. Thankfully it wasn’t my turn to drive so beers were had in the passenger seat. Work was a challenge the next day.
Love thisRemember sitting at Rochdale the season we went down to league 2 thinKing this was the end of this football club and we would fall into non league and Into oblivion. Me and my old man stuck with them and followed them everywhere and it feels so fucking good to be rewarded like this after such a horrible 10/15 years. The last 3 years are what supporting a club should feel like... It's such a great time to be a city fan PUSB

Rained from when we left Bucks to when we got home. Couldn't see 50 yards on the Severn Bridge. Highlight of that day was the save from Burge, one of the best I've ever seen live. We were happy to scramble a point as we had a guaranteed 3 points coming up against Yeovil on Easter Monday. That went well ;-)That was hard work that day...
Coppers in the queue were a laugh though...
Like many on here I was at both of them.Well it seems like it was worth it! Honoured to have supported this club through the dark times, this is the 2nd time my Dad has seen us rising up the divisions, days i never thought i'd experience with him a few years ago! Pretty emotional and extremely proud tonight! Bring on next season and the beautiful football the City play. PUSB
The two lowest of the low points: the Oxford game you mentioned (complete lack of effort), and Northampton away in January (poisonous atmosphere, flares and pitch invasions). That was the day we knew we were going down.Yes that Oxford away game was the lowest point for me. Checkatrade and L2 final helped us get rid of the losing mentality that has dogged us for years. Finally that 1st home game this season v Southend - there was a real unity between the club and fans that I have rarely seen in 45 years of watching us.
Il be honest, a deal to get back playing in Coventry will be the icing on a great cake, we are no longer the pity boys of football, no longer the laughing stock... There's just 1 more thing to do and everything is where it should be PUSBYes, I can imagine you have had some dark dark days following our Sky Blues, I'm sure you will enjoy the evening!. People always say things will turn around but never seems to happen to us, well it has. We can save save the "whys and wherefores" about Ricoh Arena and SISU until another day.
Lets enjoy the day and rest of summer , Corona permitting.
Remember that ! Was on the way to watch AJ / Parker in Cardiff .. stopped off to watch the game .. Piss wet through..Throw in Newport away, monster queue to get into a tinpot ground and stand on an uncovered temporary stand in the pissing rain. Literally drenched to the bone. All to see an average performance culminating in a very fortuitous draw. Worth it in the end.

Took my daughter to this one, her first game. She’s not been back.Nah, I wasn’t that bad. Was next to someone who bought their girlfriend to their first game. Her I feel sorry for.
The Cambridge defeat you mention was actually a decent performance and one of many games we should have won but didn’t. The team were actually applauded off that day.Worst moments I attended:
Oxford Away (4-1 defeat)
Charlton Away (3-0 defeat, already knew we were going down)
Morecombe Away (1-1 FA Cup)
Cambridge Away (2-1 League defeat)
And there were plenty more I didn't attend!
The league game at Swindon, 2 or 3 years ago when it was pissing it down and most of our fans were getting drenched in the open stand. I was cosy in the 1920's Arkell's stand and we were chanting - We're in the dry.......
The following year I was in the open end and it was roasting hot and sunny, came away red raw!
That the game we were 2-0 up with 5 minutes to play and Phillips gave a last minute pen away?That's happened twice there, I was in that stand just before christmas 2013, I think we lost 2-1. Got absolutely drenched. Same again 2015 when we drew 2-2.

The worst ever performance by any professional sports team in the history of sport must be our 2-0 home defeats to Southend in an evening game at the Ricoh. Robins’ third game since his return and probably only about 4K in attendance despite what the official figure was. We were abject, totally devoid of any redeemable feature, particularly fight. We were two down to two quick first half goals and never looked like even having an attempt on their goal. It shows the magic that Robins has worked to take us from that to where we are now.
I like to pretend that never happenedNo one mentioning the FA Cup defeat to Worcester, no?
Anybody able to tell me if there have been any squad survivors from the checkatrade trophy win to this promotion? Jodi Jones and Jordan Shipley perhaps?
I really enjoyed the Oxford game well until we gifted them 2 goals. Was a shame we dint win as the melt down from the Oxford fans was amazing.
Funny when we played the preseason game at Swindon you would never have thought that you would be watching two EFL champions
