Waylander 166 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This would have been early 90's, Chelsea at Old Trafford. I recall at the away terrace there was a small terrace at each end where the Utd supporters stood. They seemed to sing non-stop and especially when the home crowd tried to get a song going virtually cancelling out the Away support. Someone had the idea of singing, 'One man went to mow' song. They gestured for everyone to crouch down and I recall even older Ladies and Gents with umbrellas and hats joining in and crouching too. The numbers for the song were being called out and as this was happening I looked across the away terrace and was impressed as you could see the whole way along. Finally 10 men was reached and we all stood to chant Chelsea, Chelsea. Before we got to the second chant of Chelsea the whole of Old Trafford woke up and the volume was so loud all I could hear was a buzz. I couldn't even hear the people around me. It was the only time I experienced that intensity of noise in a stadium. What's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted February 2, 2022 Administrator Share Posted February 2, 2022 At the King Power, coming back from 3-1 down to beat Man Utd in Sept 2014. Several of the title-winning season matches. Especially the comeback victory against Villa (0-2 to 3-2) and the Everton 3-1 final home game preceding the trophy lift. First CL match against Porto Sept 2016. 2nd leg 2-0 win over Sevilla March 2017. I don't go to many away games but when we beat Everton 2-3 away in Dec 2015 it was brilliant. Shitty weather, drenched all game and on the way back to the station but one of those where you just don't give a shit because you and your team came away with 3 points.

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted February 2, 2022 Administrator Share Posted February 2, 2022 I still remember going to Estadio Vicente Calderon to watch Atletico Madrid vs Malaga in October 2012. That was phenomenal as a first experience of watching a match outside of UK. Made sweeter with a last minute goal for Atletico, albeit an OG.

Waylander 166 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 I have another one, watching Chelsea in Austria where we drew 1-1 thanks to a great run and finish by wee Johnny Spencer. As we were made to wait they played Frank Sinatra, New York, New York over the tannoys and all the Chelsea fans sang along. It seemed ironic as it was something the old man would have liked.

I remember you saying you were there when Vardy scored the first one of this 5, was there a roar then, great goal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted February 2, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted February 2, 2022 At the Old Wembley, 1996 when Catona scored the winner, the roar was unbelievable and I nearly lost my front teeth when he run up towards where we were sitting.

Waylander 166 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 @CaaC (John)On a similar note to you almost losing your teeth, I once lost a contact lense seeing we were going to concede another to either Wimbledon or Coventry at home. Dave Beasant was our keeper back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story behind that is I have 3 front false teeth and when he scored and run towards us, we were all screaming to the high heavens and the girls and guys behind me surged forward into my back and my 3 false teeth nearly went flying from my gob.

I remember when you knocked us out at the Emirates as well. You were the first team to win an fa cup tie at arsenal in over 15 years I think. And you did it when in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike 3,009 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Not been for years. Plenty of those European games in the Benitez era to consider but the stand out would be Olympiakos in 2004/5 (didn't go to Juventus or Chelsea that season).

Lucas 3,825 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Bristol Rovers at Elland Road on the last day the season we got promoted from League One. I've never known a roar like it. Years of pent up frustration and anger let out, Elland Road was like a cauldren. Honestly, we were 1-0 down with 10 men, but the sheer noise and energy in the ground, Bristol Rovers absolutely shit themselves. They just weren't used to that atmospere at all, and the crowd overturned that deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
