Dont know if anyone else has put this thread up before but as this is the last ever season at our long and illustrious home of over 130 years there will be thousands if not millions of memorable moments and i was just wondering what one sticks out in your mind here are just a few of mine:

1: That memorable night in 1996 play-off semi-final against mansfield and nicky law scoring two penalties in etra time.

2: The last game of the season against blackpool when those three dressed up as nuns in bright orange habits ran onto the pitch and were waving at us when being led awzy when blackpool scored.

3: Then there was one game when i was younger i went with my dad it was new years day and so cold the plaeyrs were slipping around on the surface. At halftime a maasive roar went up from the kop we looked over to the away end somebody had come out the toilets stark naked in the freezing col and run back in once the police or stewards went running in to him.

so many more but just wanted you to share yours?

Glynn Hurst against Luton to keep up us..spark manic scenese! Thats a fond one in my memory! Beating QPR 4-2 (might have been same season) Those are recent memories.

Ash, When i read the title of the thread it was my first thought, so you beat me to it.

What about Tommy Curtis penalty against Forest but think ash has got it nailed on

Here's something funny again ive just remembered can anyone remember the time when chester was allowed to throw sweets into the kop some idiot run onto the pitch rugby tackled him to the ground and knocked his head off. Its making me smile even now just thinking about it

[Sammy Spireite]

I guess the same as most people in recent memory:

Hurst v Luton

Beaumont v Wrexham

Play Offs v Mansfield

4-3 v Halifax Dave Waller Hat Trick

2-0 v Grimsby to make play offs in '90.

My mate streaking from Main Stand during a local sunday league cup final circa 2001, shook hands with the ref then returned to the stand to a ratuous ovation!

[CFC_SJL]

What about when wally use to be stood in the kop?

Whatever happened to him? Not seen him for years

also anyone that used to sit in the wing stand remember the old guy(normally refered to as the Muppet) that was never happy no matter what happened on the pitch. think he moved into the centre stand. we had a right good time laughing as his comments!!!!

[Tonycfc]

about 11-12 years ago when the ball landed on the main stand roof and a section of the roofing game crashing down. Just avoiding a member of the catering staff. OOOOPPPPS.

Football would have to be the Luton game or the FA Cup quater final against Wrexham.

The best bit of that incident was when Blathers, coolness personified, strolled over and perused the floor for his sweet of choice,picked it up, unwrapped it, ate it and then buggered back off.

[Sammy Spireite]

There was the incident where the ball hit the underside of the main stand roof and a piece of the roof broke away and landed in the lap of the match sponsors wife!!

Nets went up pretty quick after that game!!

Also, recall a game in the mid 90's played in swirling conditions where a ball was lofted out of defence high in to the air towards the 'no mans land' on the old Compton side. The lino flagged as the ball headed towards the tv gantry onlt for the wind to hold it up and in smacked him flush on top of the head, he turned and collaped against the railings with his head in his hands!

I think he was ok after a minute or two composing himself and carried on the game.

[Sammy Spireite]

Recall a match too, Mick Leonard in our goal and a wayward pass from the opposition was running out for a goal kick, only for the ball boy to run on the pitch and control the ball and pass it to Mick. The ref waved play on and the poor ball boy went bright red and got some right stick!!

Reevesey writing rude words in the snow.

Stood on cross street for the first time, looking at a deserted and condemned Kop was a strange feeling, and probably not helped by the football and result served up that day!!!

Am not ashamed one bit to say I wept when Hurst scored against Luton.

Nor me when we beat Forest in 97, or a few other occasions

[Sammy Spireite]

Just recalled the very low ache in my stomach when we lost away at Yeovil in late March when we got relegated when Rico had just taken charge.

We were still far from relegated mathmatically but stood on their away end, having seen another poor performance knowing it would take a massive upturn in form to save us.

Very long drive home that day.

True remember us all packet onto compton street not being able to all stand together on the kop and also can you remember the first game of that season losing 6-3 to colchester.

Who would have thought though 8 years later we would be getting a new home especially after how close we came to going bust during those dark days of darren brown.

[dmb1978]

Also just remembered the time when we played hereford and the truly alfull performance by andy d'urso who somehow went on to be a premier league official especially after already sending one of our players off he sent hewitt giving him his second yellow card for mearly tripping over the ball to give it back. The he gave them a penalty when darren carr slid in with a challenge that was outside the box and when they skied it over the bar and the kop just cheered like mad, think it was in the green un that the put we reacted like we'd just won the cup game.
