I vividly remember a (I think) Derby player getting his toes stuck in the turf at the arena and properly face planting and knocking himself out and having grass pulled out of his mouth.

maybe around 05/06. Think it was the game where Wise got a booking within the first 5 seconds.

Fiasco?! It was a great trip, albeit one that exceeded budget!

I shouldn't glorify football violence but a Blunts fan getting sparked out by a kid was pretty funny.

Micky Adams signing his mate Andy Impey on a pay as your play deal, then bringing him on for a few minutes every game.

Signing Adam Virgo on the back of him scoring against us.

Dean Gordon being absolutly tortured for pace away at Rochdale in the FA cup. We filled the whole side stand but got turned over 2-0.

Yeovil piss stop incident?

I do remember going there first game of the season. No air con or pisser on the coach. near thirty degree heat outside. I got badly sunburnt.

Memorial Stadium, Boxing Day 2016. We lost 1-4 in what was not only the worst Coventry City performance I've ever seen, but also the worst performance I've ever seen from a professional football team. It was Russell Slade's first game as manager, and it was plainly obvious he wasn't going to last long.

It was, however, the day I heard my favourite heckle from a football fan to someone on the pitch. We went 0-2 down, and one of the coaching staff leapt from the bench, left the field and came back on with a folder of papers. The guy next to me yelled "DOES IT SAY "TUDGAY'S SHIT" IN THAT FOLDER" and even the coach laughed

Hoping someone can help, my memory is telling me we played Crewe at home, we absolutely battered them for the whole game, they had one attack all game, scored from it and won the game?? But I can’t find it anywhere?? Someone tell me I’m not going mad??

I feel like I remember this too but the game I'm thinking of was circa 2002-2004? Clayton Ince was in goal for them and had what must have been the game of his life, then he signed for us as a backup keeper a couple of years later

He's answered it above, he was on a coach run by I think one of the blokes involved in the Trust and it drove off without him from the services.

That cup game triggered perhaps the most disastrous loss of form I’ve seen, even by CCFC standards. I think we went on to only win a single league game and from playoff contenders to barely above the bottom 3.

MK Dons away stood out as weird little moments in our time floating around being quietly sh*t. Two seasons in a row of outnumbering home fans with one being the Chris McGuire game. Both were pretty sh*t games.

and Notts County away. Persuaded my mate to go to his first away game. "We're flying, Clarke and Wilson can't stop scoring!" then by the time the game rolls round, Clarke's gone and Wilson's crocked. Pitch was like a ploughed field. Awful game. Delfouneso looked hungover. Grealish looked like a Love Island reject. Such a grim one.

His lack of pace that day stayed with him for the rest of his time with us.

Massively disagree. Hyam’s turnaround from that performance (where I couldn’t see a future for him in professional football) to two good performances for the suspended Tom Davies at Notts County and Wembley - and becoming the cornerstone of the championship defence before a move to Blackburn ( to quickly balance the books when the ground was closed) and a full international cap was pretty impressive in my book. He’s a very good professional footballer and would walk back into our starting XI.

Sorry, I wasn’t very clear. Just that some people would drag it up as evidence he was slow.
I entirely agree with you.

I still chuckle every time that memory comes back to me. It happened right in front of the North Stand, and if I remember correctly, it was actually Sheffield Wednesday and Drissa Diallo who face-planted.

The surreal part was his name just got him in the team rather than his current ability.

1st game in 3rd division.

Absolutely roasting..... couldn't move on the terrace.

1-0 up inside 10 minutes and City fans singing "we'll never play you again"


Although our best moment 2001-2018 was probably beating Manchester United in front of 11500 away fans..... reminding a few people that we were still around...... spanking Blackburn 4-1 away in the Cup was not far off either.

Don't know why but "Smoke Bomb Infringement" really made me laugh which I shouldn't be doing as I'm at work and that kind of thing is frowned upon

He was harmless but volatile, showing his youth at the time, pretty sure he had the Scottish bug, Celtic /Rangers.
