On this, the most scariest of days, I ask you to share some of the most horrifying experiences watching the town!
The most horrifying performance I've seen is our drubbing at home to Bridgewater 8-0. It was when Paul weekes first took over. It must be 2 or 3 years ago now.
Although seeing Sean Seaville's leg break at Wimborne a couple of years ago was a horror show!

Must have been the horrific injury to our No.6 in the first replay against Forest Green Rovers,in the second or third qualifying round of our famous FA CUP run,at home on the Causeway.Game was held up for what half an hour or more,ambulance on the pitch, guy was unconcious for a while, knee back to front and presumably broken--player was in agony ,worst injury I`ve witnessed. Anyway ,we drew and beat them in the 3rd game/2nd replay at FGR to go through to next round.
Also remember a town player ,johnny innocent fall down ,unchallenged,with broken leg in 3 places, in a game played on the Causeway between Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. John was playing for Hfd.Late 60`s.

Horror show--game at Weymouth,when we lost *! nil,anyone there cant bring themselves to say the score, it might have been 8 plus 1-but it was such a horror display I still cant bring myself to say the score.This was about 19 96or 7-I cant remember and couldn`t careless.We were in the game for the first 4 minutes and then Smithy was sent off and we collapsed against a top side in the league. Sickning ,horrendous,hope it never happens again.Bad dream.

One that sticks in my mind, is away at Stourbridge, we had no manager, (derek lightstone) acting for the game, as for players few. we were 1 down after about 10mins, had to use the facicilites came back out 3 down, went on to lose 8 -1 . That is a living nightmare

How about the FA Cup replay at the Causeway when after a draw at Weston-Super-Mare, Weston (managed then by former Forest Green boss Frank Gregan) arrived with only 9 men!
The 9 of Weston duly put us out by winning 1-0 !

Got to agree with Boxxon - the worst injury I have ever seen was the broken leg sustained by Tony Hopkins.
I also remember another broken leg incident, probably back in late seventies or early eighties when Tim Smith was hurt at Whaddon Road in a GFA Cup game against Moreton Town. The sound of the leg break was sickening.

Got to agree with Bev the Weston game losing to 9 men but the Weymouth game ain't far behind. And yes Stu I was at both games.

this is great topic!
A few years ago we played away at woodford. we were 1-0 up after 85 minutes. Then 1 of each teams players were sent off at the same time. They both started fighting in the tunnel and that followed by a massive brawl between teams. Game was called off... The game was arranged for a tuesday night and we made the the trek there and we got stuffed 4-1

I remember the Weston game well they were acctualy down to 7 men at one point.It wasnt that cinderford played bad more like weston played out of there skins
Len Ashurst was the manager at the time the reason i remember was one cinderford fan telling him 10 minutes from the end he should be proud of his lads.Great sportng gesture that you wouldnt find at a league game

Does anybody remember back in the mid 90s the referee being knocked unconscious just after the game started the linesmen didn't see the incident so the offender got of Scot free.The ref couldn't continue.The offender got his just deserts later on in the game when he barged a town player into the main stand i believe the team was cirencester but i may be wrong on that one but the player was a serial thug initials MB
