Having the QPR cup takings stolen from the ground. Only could happen down the City.

Not quite, I seem to recall our West Walian friends having a similar situation with a certain Tony Pretty.
Hardly a boast but I'd say his 'era' was far more ridiculous than anything at CCFC.

On the ridiculousness scale it's fairly low, but I have always found it curious that the GMB have sponsored the back page of the programme for decades now.

I’m certain it was a Friday night and it was indeed freezing. It was the most miserable walk back to central station I can remember, and there have been a few grim ones. I think the next couple of games were postponed due to the freezing conditions and then City went on an unbeaten run when things resumed.

If i remember we were behind the goal on a terrace that had crumbling concrete under foot?
To the right near the halfway line was a scaffolding platform with plastic chairs on and to the left a cricket pitch?

That’s the place, Stan. Incredible ground, as in incredibly bad.

At least the Shay had four sides to it. Wigan’s old ground Springfield Park had one of the grimmest away ends I can remember. Basically, a muddy bank with zero facilities of any sort.

I visited The Shay back in 1997, we beat Halifax 2-1, goals from jon Williams and Dai Thomas, it was a friday night and the beginning of a fantastic run of form. Strange ground, the one stand is built into a steep bank.
