  1. I remember the fans that did travel down South to the Gate waited until the very end (they'd long been relegated) to applaud their side, then they were impressively supportive of our lads as they did their lap of honour too. I have a lot of respect for Rotherham fans after that day. Plus, they seem to accept their lot without much fuss……..unlike those delusional sorts over at the stolen rugby ground.
  2. Well, my arse is a sleeping giant, admittedly………….but when it stirs, TAKE COVER
  3. For any City in Lanzarote ATM, Justin will be showing the game live at the Owl and Pussycat in PDC this afternoon. Take a phrasebook as it'll be full of Northerners, mind!
  4. Why would they move here? They've only been at the fruit market stadium for a couple of seasons, surely?
  5. Ex-Charfield Youth fc. A good side back in the day
  6. Living in Worcester at the time, I had a couple of pints with Geoff Merrick in the player's lounge at St George's Lane after a Worcester City v Bath game in the Gola League (or it might have been the Alliance Premier League) after he came back from a spell playing in Hong Kong. We talked BCFC and I confirmed that he'd been my role model for putting blokes into Row M. He wasn't bitter at all about our darkest days and was (I think) chuffed to talk all things Ashton Gate. The man is still my hero, although I did break my leg putting in a Sir Geoff type tackle in a lads v dads game a few years later!!
  7. Sadly, I suspect that we'll continue struggling to break down championship teams for the remainder of the season………..but go on to win the bloody FA Cup! If so, I'll boo
  8. Years back, I was at a film studio near Fonteney le Comte doing a voiceover for a company training video. The Producer was doing all of the technical stuff cutting sections together to make sense. So, I spent much of 3 days sat on the edge of the stream running through the garden dangling my feet in whilst sunning myself, just responding to the times he stuck his head out of a window to tell me I was needed. Just like you @BigTone I got little to no signals at all from the stream. Must be a French issue, then.
  9. A few years back when I was site manager on a job in Kintyre, an agency sent me a site labourer. He lived about 35 miles from the site so it sounded positive. Turned up in a blue quartered jesters outfit wiv a Gert funny accent. Seems that he left Bristol to shack up with some sort he'd encountered in Benidorm, who lobbed him out pretty soon after he'd burned his west country bridges! I could have had him litter picking most of the time.......but those toxic crappers weren't going to clean themselves every 2 hours. I don't have a west country accent and didn't crack on who my team was, so he couldn't accuse me of being a Ted who might have been picking on him for the very best of reasons. General comments to him like "I've been to your ground a couple of years ago and I thought it was really good"......... I watched the goon bask in a bit of glory and then I quickly followed up with " That view of Brunel's bridge is outstanding"! Also got all of the Scottish lads working for me on site to call him 'City'. Not really a popular lad though!
