First Game Attended :
Gloucester vs Witney Feb 81.......I'd thought City had lost 1-0 only to find out that they'd scored in the first minute & what I thought was kickoff was Witney kicking off after the goal !!! |
Description of yourself on a matchday :
HAPPY......usually lurking near the penalty area in the shed. Due to Groundhopping and living in Swindon I only see City play 4-5 times a season. |
Other team(s) supported :
I only truely support City but there's a lot of teams I'm interested in eg Swindon Supermarine, Swindon Town, Woking, Cirencester etc
I realise that football is bigger than one team but City's result is the one that counts!! |
Favourite Away ground :
Woking.......I followed them in the early nineties while in exile in Surrey. |
Worst Away ground :
Rothwell, is was cold, damp & NO food.......... Farnborough in 91 wasn't nice either... TOO cold & no burgers.... |
Furthest travelled to an away game :
Bishop Auckland....My wife said I was certifiable for driving there!!!.... A great experience with yellow & black scarves heading up the A1M |
Most memorable City match :
Numerous....City 3-0 Cheltenham 1988... Worth it for walking back to my Cheltenham pals' car GRINNING.
City 9-0 Gosport '90, first game back from the flood.
City 4-3 Bishop Auckland 97.... Phew!!
Bromsgrove 0-1 City 91... OH SOOOOO close!!
City 4-1 Dover.... SUCH a stuffing!! |
Maddest Celebration :
I went NUTS during the Bishop Auckland game when we scored to go 4-1 up |
All-time favourite City player :
Adie Mings...... Never had any brakes....
I remember two instances; one at Dagenham when I watched him track down the left winger & a similar effort at Bromsgrove when he was dumped on his bum & exacted his revenge 30 sec later at full speed!!!
Oh and the spectacular goal at Newport '96 |
Current favourite City player :
Jimmy Cox....... one of the last and important piece of the current teams' jigsaw. |
Improvements you would make to Meadow Park :
Cover the away end, & improve the car park. It's an eyesore, not at all welcoming. |
Most outrageous thing you've done at a City match :
Applaud Dartford after they won 4-0 at Meadow Park. Well although they stuffed us, they did score with a volley from the corner. |
