Reading home, under Sven I believe. If I am correct, I'm quite ashamed that I can remember that and not the names of family members on occasions.

There's a YouTube video from 2011 which says it was vs Reading

If it was 2011 it would've been the first home game of the season and we lost 2-0.

Not even the worst performance of the day judging by that video.

That was the season before. Mills was playing for us in 2011 and was shocking.

We signed loads of players that summer though I think. First game of that season possibly the most fun away game ever, 5,000 at Cov for the 1-0 win. Absolutely no drip trays and 19 year olds on their phones

Wasn't it  a 2-0 defeat and Jimmy Kebe (I think) tormented us

It was the welsh bloke with the late goal, the one that was born in England....doesn't narrow it down much.

6,155 Vs Shrewsbury in 1983 shivered through and cheered us on to a 3 - 2 win on the start of that great run culminating in promotion 

Got to be one of the lowest gates that one, recall it was often 7 to 10k in 87 and 88. Combination of rubbish Football and the height of Hooliganism driving fans away. Also remember playing Villa on a Saturday morning once, won 5-0 Lineker hat trick. Kicked off 11.30 I think and less than 12000 turned up.

There would. People will always see Filbert Street as "home" and I think this applies to all fanbases that have moved ground. Moving is so difficult.

I'm of the mind that Filbert Way in its current state doesn't help with that feeling of this is home. There are plenty of ways the club could improve the stadium in this aspect which would make a significant difference.

11,885 from memory - Lineaker hat trick - apparently we'd been training in the dark before the game and caught them cold. 

 

SK3Blue - Great Name

 

I was Pen 2, then Pen 3 and then of course Crazy Kop Corner

I do not disagree with that.

 

Our ground seems so neutral, more King Power than Leicester City.

Nice to see our fans still clapped to rubbish back then as well.

I was there, Kasper’s debut for us amongst others less easily remembered. Nuge as well maybe?

Lee Peltier got the winner I think after Vassell got a red card if that's the game you are referring to. Was a good turnout.

6300 went to that match   (our best turnout at their new ground).    Did a really good "poznan" after we scored, if I remember rightly.

Ever since they got rid of the banner round the top. Wasn't great but gave the place an identity

Generic bowl stadium devoid of any identity
