supporters!!!this one is for you! and its serious!

[SAINTS64MAD]

How Long have you supported and what is the memory which stays in your head the most? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smilie_switch.gif" alt="" />

[Rob_the_Saint]

OK, you go first.......

[SAINTS64MAD]

the memory that sticks with me is forest green. Iv supported the saints for 8 years! I went and saw my first game when i was 5 and i really enjoyed it! Now you lot have a go please!

[HelenC]

OK I'll give you my memories! Of course Forest Green away and Boston (lets hope we can achieve this again soon!) and I suppose things like our good singing and pitch invasions!! Ooops, maybe I shouldnt have said that.

 

Always remember the moments that were not so good at City as well, like losing against Billericay in the FA cup last year and we lost to Oxford City 1-0 at home a few years ago and the players were booed off the pitch, but also coming back after suspension and scoring 10 goals away was something to remember!!

 

There are lots more that I can think of but I'll stop for now! I am sure City will provide us with lots more to talk about in the near future.

My one abiding memory is the trip to Telford in the FA Cup. A three hour drive to a supposed 'new' town and the biggest dump of a ground I can remember.

 

Great support from the City boys (and girls) and a tremendous peformance, especially from big Bob Dowie, Allan Cockram and of course Clarky.

 

I can still picture the little lay-off from Dean Williams and Clarky rifling it home from somewhere near the penalty spot (a long way out for him). We all went wild of course and had to endure the oh-so-charming locals having a go at us on the way out, still the journey seemed a lot shorter on the way home.

 

Next up: memories of Wisbech.

[HelenC]

Good old Wisbech!

[Laz]

Margate!

[ESG]

Too long

 

Torquay away...

asked to leave after they scored their penalty LOL

[HelenC]

How could I forget Margate Tony?!

 

 

[Rob_the_Saint]

Ooh err! Tell us more Helen.

[HelenC]

LOL There isnt much to tell, you had to be there really! I'm sure Tony will fill you in with the details

Aslo Hastings, Barrow, Wisbech (the recent trip), Great Yarmouth (twice). I'm sure there are others.

[Webbo MFI]

Probably the best for me was Hastings, not due to the fact that when we booked into the hotel the game was called off but the fantastic p*ss up! Ended up in a club where a small unknown band called Muse were playing!!

[Laz]

Webbo, that wasn't in 'The Crypt' was it? A sort of grotty bar with a band playing downstairs.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Telford, Bristol City, Wisbeach, Canvey (every time), Aldershot (last season), Ashton, Chester, Forest green

Basically every away trip that involved a massive drinking session and/or a night away!

 

Home Forest Green and Boston spring to mind

Basically every trip that involved a massive drinking session!

 

Anyone spot the common thread?

[Laz]

I forgot Chester! And how about Dulwich Hamlet, that used to be a good drink up, I remember getting a cab home from their ground because we couldn't be bothered to walk to the station. The driver didn't know where St Albans was.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

How can i forget Carlshalton away in the leauge in 92/93 and Kingstonian at home 8-3

[Laz]

Hillingdon at home in the cup 11-1, the same year as the 8-3. I think there was a few high scoring games that season.

Not sure of the name but definately went downstairs.....bought the ep from Muse for a fiver!!

Oh yeah, forgot about Hastings, we spent the weekend in Brighton!

The actual game a week Monday later wasn't such a great affair (even though we won 3-0)

Bashley away was quite funny as well.
