Thread: Favourite City game in the Championship since our promotion in 2003

    Favourite City game in the Championship since our promotion in 2003

    Should make for a good thread!

    So many to choose from, some big wins with the 6-0 at Ashton gate being right up there, but I reckon my favourite would have to be the 2-1 win over the Jacks when Chopra scored at the death. Just seconds before the away end was singing in unison "You'll never beat the Jacks", then we had the last laugh. In terms of an after-match party, it beat winning a playoff semi and Carling cup semi at home.

    Over to you for yours!

    2-0 win over Birmingham in 2006. They were top and we were 2nd and we blew them away. Over 20,000 in NP, great atmosphere. We started that season in great form and came away from that game thinking we were going to storm the league. Didn't turn out that way.

    You expect people to highlight one game in 14 years of supporting CCFC

    Loads to choose from. Beating West Ham 4-1 at NP is up there, coming back from 0-2 down to win 3-2 against the Wurzels, that 2-1 win against the jacks.
    I think my favourite would be the 2-2 draw with QPR, with the excellent goals from Bothroyd and Tarrabt.

    tbf Russ was only around for just over a year and a half so it should be less challenging for some!

    That reminded me of the worst game I have seen at CCS. 0-0 Rotherham at the height of Slade's reign here.

    Yes, i remember that one. Brighton were all over us, we had 4 shots and scored every time. The only decent game that Dutchman played for us.

    You started a pointless thread where you gave 3 examples of games but you didn't give your "Favourite" game.
    Try and put a bit of thought into your posts before you press enter.

    Fair 'enuff. But we're all here to see Tandy spend his evening bickering with strangers on the Internet tbh.

    Sure you haven't been at the meths or are you deliberately trolling? There's a thread about Russell Slade for you to hijack btw...

    It's so difficult as there have simply been so many delicious and everlasting-in-the-memory victories, but for me, it's definitely one of these:

    City v Wurzels 2-1 2008

    City v Wurzels 3-0 2009

    Wurzels v City 0-6 (SIX) 2010

    City v Wurzels 3-2 2010

    City v Wurzels 3-1 2011

    Wurzels v City 1-2 2012

    City v Wurzels 2-1 2013

    Wurzels v City 0-2 2016

    City v Wurzels 2-1 2016

    Wurzels v City 2-3 2017

    Just outside the Championship years, there was also the momentous two legged win magnificently celebrated at their own shithole back in 2003.

    Overall though, I will plump for when we utterly humiliated the inbreds 6-0 on their own turf in 2010, as I'd made a last minute decision to attend. Seeing their free white programmes being thrown onto the pitch simply put the icing on the cake, of an unforgettable footballing lesson for the slave traders.

    3-0 Doncaster at Ninian for me. Remembered for Eddie's goal but a couple of class goals from Bothroyd and Chopra before the icing and an excellent team performance.

    I'm trying to spot a trend here.....

    Warnock's first game has to be up there, Bristol City 2-1 and it was a 'phew' moment. As early as it was in the season, we were on our way out of the Championship, the wrong way.

    Funny you should say that, because that was my son's first ever City match. Will live long in the memory for that reason alone. Eddie finally scoring was another massive reason to remember it!

    2-0 win v Sheff Utd when we wondered wtf was happening with our club and 4-0 win v Sunderland after they failed to observe the John Charles minutes silence. My lads first game- he had to leave after 20 mins as my wife forgot his shoes and his feet were freezing.
    16 now and fully fledged City home and away 👍
