Is it still a horrible dustbowl where a tank of petrol costs less than a UK pint? I sent some cargo there once, via train. weird indeed. The furthest city with a population over 100,000 to Bristol, on Planet Earth is Dunedin @ 11,935 miles. You must be in some smaller place? Wellington is 11,716 miles from Briz. Just saying like ! Nice. Hope you are in a safe place. With Phil Fogg, you, one other guy I lost touch with and myself we have the semblance of core support.

I was a 16 year old Liverpool fan sitting there with morning paper on the 20th of November 1977. A draw, at home, against Bristol City. Liverpool won everything. Not much fun. Bristol City caught my eye and since then I have not looked back. First City game was a pre season friendly in Sweden late July 1979. First visit to AG 1st of August 1980. First game at the gate Swindon (h) on the 5th of May 1984 Howard Pritchard scoring the decisive goal. Went there buy boat, 24 hours from Gothenburg, when I came home I had one white and one red eye.

ukneil Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 As I sit here watching the snow fall from my window in Bowmanville, Ontario the far flung supporter I would most like to swap places with is One Team In Keynsham. Arrived here in 2000 as my Canadian wife, whom I met in Sydney's red light district, convinced me it would be a better life. No regrets, except for going to the Gate, English chocolate, friends, family. In that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there is a local sag chapter? Chellaston calling (number 2 bus from you). Spotted a Sag shirt in Spondon B&Q (when it was a B&Q). Was left speechless. Also lived in Zurich(ish), Indianapolis, Singapore / Hong Kong & a coiple of other obscure places. Originally from south east Kent, and moved to Bristol for a year on a university placement. Want to a Gloucs Senior cup game (us vs Gas) with the aim of following whoever looked the best team for the following year. That was >30 years ago...............

ROSEBUD RED Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Live in Rosebud, Victoria, Australia (about an hour from Melbourne). Family came here in mid the mid 70's - we went back to Whitchurch in early 80's for a period then back to Oz. Me and the Old Man love the City. Interestingly, I played football with Bailey Wrights Dad, Andy, for a few seasons many moons ago (Bailey is very much like his Dad, only better!). Great to see a lad from where I live go onto play for City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chellaston is quite a nice area, from what I have seen. My girlfriend lives in Wollaton, Nottingham, so often around the Derby/ Nottm area. Luckily seen no gas troglodytes!
