Hi everyone, Chris from Free Radio here - I'm after a bit of help for a radio programme we're putting together about 'that' game at the Reebok Stadium. We're looking for your stories from the day; whether at the ground or listening/watching it elsewhere. You know the sort of stuff - the kind of anecdote you'll spin for years about how the day unfolded for you! Tales of leaving the ground early, hiding under the kitchen table, switching off the coverage and going for a walk to avoid the score, partners being rushed to hospital to give birth halfway through (!) - basically anything that you excitingly gabbled to your friends the night after! If you've got a good one, or perhaps know someone that does - then I would be hugely grateful if you'd leave your thoughts below and I'll be in touch. Many thanks! |

Nothing spectacular to offer but I flew back from the USA for the Bolton game and was fortunate to get a ticket. Plenty of little stories throughout the day and night, as you'd expect travelling to a Blues away game of such importance. Especially if you're drinking gin and John Smiths on the 7.00am train. The quirky thing that I remember about watching the game unfold was the fella to my left, who I'd never met before, passed me a chocolate eclair when we went 2-nil down. I said I hoped it was a lucky eclair. He looked resigned to relegation so I said to him "there's still time, mate." I'd hardly chewed enough to hit the chocolate centre when "boom" Zigic 2-1! After the obligatory going berserk celebrations had abated, I found myself by a different seat .... in a different row. Nobody was sitting and nobody seemed bothered. It took me a minute or two to regain any sense of where I was, but I located the group of lads I'd travelled to the match with and rejoined them....next to Chocolate Eclair Man. The game pressed on and Blues pushed forwards, but it was looking desperate. I looked at the scoreboard clock to our right and it seemed to be racing along. I turned to my left and I was greeted by an outstretched arm with a hand holding another chocolate eclair. Chocolate Eclair Man cracked a smile and gave a shrug. I knew what he meant, he didn't need words. So, I popped the second eclair in my gob and chewed frantically. I swear I hit chocolate (not a euphemism) just as Zigic connected with his header, but I didn't get to finish my second eclair because it celebrated Caddis' equaliser by flying out of my mouth to a location unknown. The rest, as they say, is history. Chocolate Eclair Man - thank you for saving us from League One football. Edited by OhioBluenose, Jun 26 2014, 02:19 AM.
