It must be a Bradford thing because I always remember the 0-0 draw against them when they brought about 50 fans on bonfire night and literally the biggest cheers of the game were for the fireworks going off!!
Two final games of the season-winning 2-1 at Burnley when Jay Tabb scored the winner, and 1-0 at Stoke when Adebola got us a top 10 finish. The latter was memorable for Stoke announcing that Carl Hoefkens was player of the year as according to about half a dozen different Stoke supporters' clubs.
I don't remember the exact year (1960's) or the opposing team but we played a mid-winter evening game in the bitter cold at Highfield Road. The pitch was covered in snow (with ice underneath I suspect). All the groundsmen could do was to scrape the snow off the lines and sprinkle sand near the goalmouths. As I remember it was also somewhat foggy. The game was farcical with players sliding all over the place but me and my Dad stood on the terraces watching it and I think we won so we went home happy. A game would never be played in those conditions today.
I was at a night match in the 60's, very snowy, I think Bobby Gould scored a hatrick in the first half. The following day one of the national papers had a headline '999 but no help for.....' and showing a picture of the H R scoreboard. Just can't remember the team we played. Could have been that game?
City 2-3 West Ham cup semi final 1st leg HR . I was gutted .
Why was you gutted ? We won 3-2
Do you have the exact date of the match? I might be able to find it in an old diary.It was Ipswich at home on a Friday night, we ended up winning 5 - 0 in the championship season 1966/67. Ring any bells? Freezing cold night, didn't matter, brilliant home performance!
Wow where do I start.
In the early 80's beating Sunderland 6-1 at home on a cold Tuesday night.
Preston at home a few years back when we won 2-1 to go top of the Championship, when Doyle scored a screamer (sadly we lost the next game 3-0 at home to Brizzle)
Beating Sheff Utd 1-0 at Bramall Lane in the early 90's when I was a student there. I think Bugsy scored a penalty. An absoloute shite game, but my mate who was with me was a Middlesborough fan, and couldnt believe our fans booed one of our own players (Paul Edwards) before kick off, although he was useless. I was embarrassed but it introduced him to the typical depression of a Midlands football supporter.
beating spurs to stay up can't remember the year tho
Away at oxford. I'm sure they had John Aldridge and Ray Houghton in the side. We lost 2-0, they may even have both scored? This is mid 80s.
Anyway, does anyone remember those half and half ski hats that people used to wear? One of our fans has got a cov/rangers hat and another one of our fans has a cov/celtic hat. They proceed to try and knock ten bells out of each other, the pair of divs. It was more entertaining than the game.
I went to that. I think it was that one. I remember parking in nearby streets and reversing into another car as I tried to get out of my parking space. I was an inexperienced driver at the time. Never left a note or anything obviously.
Was it a gold one?
I think it was grey. I don't know, I was probably about 3
My clearest memory of HR is being about 13 and stood in the queue for a ticket ( was outside the door). A Sheff United fan came legging it over and absolutely one bombed the bloke behind me and then legged it. Can't remember the actual game though.

Everyone's capable of being a 'complete nutter' when there's the tricky issue of a large fence to be scaled.I remember the atmosphere at the Simod Cup semi final against Reading. There was a huge fence to our left as we stood behind the goal. Their fans were trying to scale a large fence to get at us and were complete nutters.
