Glorious days and achievements the likes of which we may not see again in our lifetime The fact that you it was in L1 makes no difference to me
Wiz, Angelic. I couldn't agree more, we..........well most understand and enjoy the Championship but that season playing with no East End was fantastic......as good as any and better than 99% of any season we've ever experienced. Winning every week lifted the entire fan base, sadly, the usual suspects with their agenda wont admit.
There is no agenda I can see RP; that resides with others on other things and other people..... Nobody that I have seen or spoken to is disputing how great a season that was, but they are putting it in context that it was L1, is all.
I'm sorry Supcon, there is absolutely no need for context, either it was a great season or it wasn't, end of.......perhaps not you, but some have an agenda.
No agenda with regards to me, Bristol Post article resonant with my own memories, Cotts created us honours, respect, promotion, harmony and a joyous year, true we had been relegated into a lower league , we were down and the guy got us promoted and won the 'Mickey Mouse cup' as well, a winning double, now history but what a memory for that time. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport...ve-cotterill-football-strange-things-10017195
There have been relatively few highlights in my near 56 years of following City The LC semi final of ‘71 The FA Cup run to the 6th round in ‘74 Promotion to old first division 1976 Playoff Final in ‘08 Cotts season and the Double LC Semi in 2018 Freight Rover final win in 1985 Whatever Final it was in Cardiff when we beat Carlisle 2-0 eventually And that’s about it Or have we finished with this season yet ?
I don’t think many (or any) would deny that that season was one of the most memorable and enjoyable for many years. We all have Cotts to thank for the fact we are where we are. I guess my own personal feelings are; as enjoyable and successful that that season was, I would NOT wish to see relegation to L1 just so we could experience it again.
I remember the season when we went to the final of the Johnstone Paint trophy at Wembley as I extended my return to Canada to at least see City play at the national stadium. I wasn't sure whether I could get tickets but cidered on this site got them for me and we met up at Wembley and I thoroughly enjoyed my day out and of course the win with smoke and fireworks to round off a $3000.00 expense very well spent. Did anyone know that we played in front of the second highest attendance in the world that weekend and only some useless match in Spain tipped us by about a couple of hundred or so, and it was Barcelona vs Real Madrid go figure. Can anyone get me play-off final tickets?
it takes you to "homepage" and there is all sorts of warnings and cant find the page with the match's being played! ps JUST TRIED again and took to different page with list of events .. wait and see when more football being played

just 10% would be around £6,000,000? Just hope Burnley miss out on promo and Brownhill could be another £3,000,000 plus?????
It is so amazing to me that we produce individual players who go on to better things and survive at the higher level without too many issues. The simple question has to be that if we are so good at making good players that much better then how come we can't produce an entire team capable of better things? I fully understand that we are with a faint shout at having some post-season action but our inconsistencies have let us down too many times to make it a virtual certainty but nevertheless we are still hanging in the mix and that can only be good news.
