RobArnold10 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Was called masters football. Agreed that it was a good watch, but like you I haven't a scooby doo as to why they cancelled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Just looked it up - it apparently stopped in 2011 due to lack of people going to watch it. Can't believe it was that long ago. I think they only had one year for south west/wales group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilksi Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I went over to that. Good day out. I'm sure Gary Owers played for us as well in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Hammered Rovers 4-0. Beat Swansea and Cardiff 3-2 I think. City brought quite a following for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and in the national finals we lost in the quarters to Wolves, who went on to win the tournament. EDIT: Found this which shows what happened in the regional one. Picture of our team too.

Who is the keeper and wtf happrned to his nose? It looks like he borrowed it from Alex Ferguson, snorted some pollen, went 10 rounds with David Haye and then put it in a bees nest - looks more like a STI bell end !!

His name is Dave Mogg ex City and very well known non-league player and manager. He's a regular at Ashton Gate nowadays so perhaps you can put your question to him personally........good luck.

Red Skin Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I used to go and watch some similar thing at Wembley Arena in the 70/80s with my local football team. Always trouble at that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, can remember Moggy getting into a right ding dong with support behind his goal giving him stick, to compound his misery Weston got an injury time winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Anyone remember back in the 80's they regularly had 5 a side football on sportsnight with all the top teams and all the top players in midweek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty years ago there was an annual 5 a side tournament, but only for clubs in Division One. Back then though that included City. We lost 3-0 in the first round to ........ Wolves.
