    Ridiculousness Down The City

    Apart from the obvious red debacle do any other daft actions by the club spring to mind?

    Two for me. During the dungeon days, the team coming out of the tunnel to ‘Simply The Best’, embarrassing! The other was a male voice choir in front of the Newcastle fans at half time serenading them with ‘Blaydon Races’, cringeworthy!

    There’s got to be others.

    The firework display at our last match at NP which was as damp and lifeless as the performance

    This.

    To add to my embarrassment I had taken along a guy who had never seen City play (he is from Liverpool and a genuine LFC supporter - yes there are some in South Wales!) with the promise of a really entertaining evening of football! Never lived that down.

    I seem to recall he did pay for them to get there. But he didn't pay for them to get home.

    I remember that - they would have been better off having no fireworks at all rather than that pathetic couple of bangers and a rocket.

    The Newcastle choir was cringey beyond belief. Having stewards sit down at the front with their backs to the game - just watching fans is also a bit creepy.

    Didn’t the club opt for the rather exotic ‘Caerdydd’ on the socks one season, but spelt it wrong?

    A couple spring to mind -
    When Ken Thorne went bust and Leekes took over the shirt sponsorship, the club shop sold cheap replica shirts with a Leekes iron-on badge over the Ken Thorne logo.
    Also, the short-lived 777 shirt sponsor.

    I recall the first home game after the Ken Thorne fiasco and there were grown men walking around wearing City shirts with the logo cut out!

    Letting Sam walk around the pitch wasn't the greatest idea
