davieG Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 Was this the last time we met? Was it really 15 years ago? If you've 8 minutes to spare watch this and cry.
Ric Flair Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 Steve Thompson gave me my first recollection of an erection that day.
CosbehFox Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 The sole reason I really want go. This scarred me and started it all off for me. We must win! We got there on a double decker bus from Brauny, made a flag and I remember the massive banners pre-game. Face paint the lot, still got the photos. They went 1-0 and feel asleep at Old Wembley!! Woke back up 3-0 down. The atmosphere was soul-destroying at half-time. I then creamed my pants as we came back to 3-3 and then absolutely shocked at the final outcome. The bus on the way back was awful. I came back home, ran to me Mum and Dad and just cried for the rest of the night. Watched it the day after on video, cracking game and then watched our comeback on repeat continously for about a year. I used to be able to name the goalscorers and the minute they scored in. Haven't got anymore, would love to watch it. Gutted and it's what really got me supporting us. Apparently, every time I lose my face is just like that face on returning home.
The People's Hero Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 I've hated Glenn Hoddle ever since. Many of my heroes were in that City team. It might not have been the best.. but it's one I identified with at an earlyish age. Stevie Thompson!
Corky Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 This is the first match against Swindon since the Play-off final in 1993. It's been a long time coming. I think we'd have done well in the Premier League in 1993-1994, much better than Swindon anyhow.
Zingari Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 if any one team has suffered more than us in the last 15 years , it is Swindon
Corky Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 if anyone team has suffered more than us in the last 15 years , it is Swindon Well they lost Hoddle a few weeks later, got relegated with 100 goals against, and then got relegated again the next season! But I think some teams have suffered worse. Oxford, Notts County and Luton spring to mind.

Corky Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 possibly but they weren't at such a lofty postion 15 years ago ; but yes , relatively maybe so Look, I am right, you know I am right so listen to me from now on
marbelladave Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 My car could do with a bit of a run, quick blast down the M4 on saturday will be just the job. Might even get to see us win, easier than getting to the Walkers for me.
Zingari Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 Look, I am right, you know I am right so listen to me from now on ok but you're not Daggers you know
Corky Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 "Whitlow drives forward now, and pulls it back for Thompson, and Thompson has equalised! It's unbelieveable stuff now!" Iconic commentary from Alan Parry.
sbfox Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 Sad, sad times. As a wee child (well 6....) I have fond memories sitting with my late grandfather watching us go down to Swindon. Revenge is more than necessary! Anyone up for a few Histon related chants?!
Darkzzz_ Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 I was only 7 when this was played. Crazy match, I think I have it on tape somewhere.

Stig the Lawnmower Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 can't wait. this will be my first away match for some time. my brother lives in swindon (city fan!) and is coming too along with my son. not the first time at swindon though, was there that time joachim got sent off for being strangled by colin calderwood! was that the play off final year? their ground was 5hit then, as i recall they had one stand shut down cos it caught fire i think. up the city
JakeShingler Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 What a game! Cheers fir the vid davie and Cmon ciiiiiiiity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy2Drags Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 Good man for posting that link buddy, what a fcuking day. I was 15.....where did my life go?
JakeShingler Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 I was in my mothers womb then 2moths later pop.
Koke Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 That was few weeks after my 9th birthday. First time we meet them since that final - I can't believe it's actually 15 years ago.
CosbehFox Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 After watching that video, I now have the emotional skills of a 5 year old again.
Webbo Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 We stopped at the Wembley Hilton the night before that game. It was packed with Leicester fans. The bar was rammed with fans singing all night . The next day I felt dog rough, not just at the amount of ale I'd drunk but the price of it as well.
Guest Posted 12 November 2008 Posted 12 November 2008 What a day. I had an asthma attack at 3-0, refused medical treatment, and was glad in some ways. The day was all the more memorable because I could have pulled a bloke called "Fried Bread Fred", whilst my mate was getting attention from his mate "Fat Lee". I have never seen them at a City game since (the blokes, not my mate).
