If you were at the turgid last PL home game v Bradford. Finished 0-0 and were involved with replying to the Bradford fans chants of "goin' down, goin' down, goin' down!" with "So are we, so are we, so are we!"

The Bradford home game on Bonfire night around 03/04 was particularly shit. Nothing happened in the game and the, about 8k, people in Highfield road just cheered when a firework went off.

Can't remember, to be honest. Just recall the loss and the long journey home. Also, we were so close to the pitch you could almost reach out and touch the players.

I believe that was the first ever game at that stadium. Went to use the toilet before kick off and it was basically still a building site.
My brother said I must've been the first person to ever take a shite in that stadium - he was probably right. Great times. We Lost 2-0.

Someone told me he’d drive us both to the Ricoh to get the coach. Never turned up, so I managed to get the train instead and got the coach back down.

I want to say Iain Turner was in goal, his only appearance?

If you used your season ticket to get in free to watch the reserves just so you could do an “olay” on a Leigh Jenkinson step over.

Bristol away when there was a slight chance we could have stayed in the Championship as we had a bit of an uptick in form.
Packed away end, bank holiday fixture. We were unbeaten in 7.
Got beat 3-1 and don’t think we won anymore matches after that and were relegated .
Absolutely pissed in down all day as everyone trudged back into Bristol city centre.

Up until Robins it seemed like we fluffed every chance at doing something good when they came along.

I know everyone talks about Mansfield away in L2 but despite our lamentable league form it was a real turning point for us in being able to have nice things happen for once.

Barnsley away 2016-deliberately burning your mouth on bovril because it was the only way to keep warm whilst watching the pathetic dying embers of a once great Mowbray City team willingly bend over and getting shafted 2-0.

Went to Vicarage Road first game of the 1983/4 season (27th August). Bobby Gould first game as manager following mass player losses after Dave Sexton left. Fully expected a defeat but won 3-2 With 2 own goals and Terry Gibson debut goal.

That was horrific. Weekend before xmas if i remember. I'd parked my car on the seafront for the weekend and the spray from the sea covered it and it all froze.

I got so smashed after the match, my brother had to drive us home the next day.

Wycombe in league Cup in 93/94. Won home leg 3-0, lost away leg 3-0 & 5 minutes into ET Wycombe make in 4-3 on aggregate before goals by Babb & Morgan won it for us. Also had the added bonus of John Gayle playing for us. 2 games later Bobby Gould resigned after a 5-1 hammering at QPR.

IIRC Berry scored all 4 and we didn’t score. I also remember singing to Venus he was getting sacked in the morning. Unfortunately he lasted a few weeks more.

You're right, he got all 4 in a 4-0 defeat. Bonus points if you also saw Callum Lang score 4 against us for Pompey last season.

If this page is to be believed, the last time a Coventry player scored 4 in a match was Steve Livingstone 36 years ago...

I can remember going to York away in the JPT in 2012/2013, thinking “How the fuck did we get here?”. The toilet was basically a bit of guttering behind a wall.

Reader, it would get even worse.

It seems like we lost every fucking time at Scunthorpe. And every fucking goal was scored by Paddy fucking Madden.

The CCFC-branded screen-wash.

2-6 at home v Yeovil was a particular nadir. But, thankfully, the play-offs were only a few weeks after.

If you travelled up to Highfield Road on 17 March 1979 with your dads shovel to help clear the snow from the pitch following a club appeal on the local news that morning, prior to the match with Bolton, then watched the game from the 'posh' stand (after being given a free ticket as a reward) sat next to some bloke who kept shouting at Don 'Fardinello' (sic).

Why was Accrington Stanley a classic, we deservedly lost 1-0

I enjoyed Lincoln away though that season!

Did he go in as punishment for taking it away or take it away after?

He discontinued the halftime penalty thing with immediate effect then went in goal at HT the next match against all the kids who had their turns lined up before it was cancelled
