Mr Popodopolous Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Always considered us, Ashton Gate one of the better grounds in UK modern times tbh. Especially pre-redevelopment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, and I've said it on here before, it was the most intimidating I can remember the old girl. The place was absolutely toxic that day. It was great! As for Brighton, again, said it on here before, they've usually bought good numbers with them to the Gate, which always helps the atmosphere. I like to read things like that, always feels a little stale to me nowadays. Nice to know we can still put on a show from time to time Got arrested that day!

Cov 77 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 21 hours ago, sglosbcfc said: Brighton supporting mate of mine told me that he had heard Baldock was on his way back to City. I can't find any mention on this site. Whilst looking on the Brighton forum I found a thread entitled 'most intimidating grounds'. Not surprisingly Brighton fans listed Millwall most frequently but there were also quite a few mentions of us. I can't recall any problems between City and Brighton fans at Ashton Gate in the past 30 odd years but obviously I've missed stuff based on their memories. I guess we all glossed over the Baldock coming back bit ? Maybe unlikely but more likely than Curbishley managing anyone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Charlton scored from the cross, SM turned around and shrugged his shoulders in fake innocence when he started receiving abuse from what was then the enclosure. It is fair to say that the atmosphere did heat up a little bit after. Ha, good memory! Was in the Dolman, so obviously missed the finer points 15 hours ago, bs3 said: Got arrested that day!

Nogbad the Bad Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 On 7/18/2017 at 10:04, Wheatus is back said: To be honest I cant imagine he will get many games at that level , I expect the 3 year deal was given so they could sell for an inflated price , around 10 million i daresay . 10m?? He'll see out his contract in the reserves then, they won't find any clubs remotely interested. Probably not even for a 5th of that price. A paltry average of 6 goals a season for Baldock since he left City, no reason why his value will have risen at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were certainly true from what I witnessed. A mob got chased round the back of the Wedlocks Pub (as it was then), which to their dismay was a dead end. I can 100% confirm that there was a chap with a Millwall tattoo across his neck (seen it with my own eyes). Whether that was just 1 guy who decided to travel of his own accord I don't know, but I'm certain there would've been others. To add to other comments - yes, that was one highly charged atmosphere that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis what Crisis ? Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 i still have a little chuckle when i think about this game.....or at least the aftermath. One particular 'saarf' Laaaandon gentleman wasn't content with exchanging pleasantries with the Dolman hordes as we left the ground and headed towards the park , this clown decided that spitting through the police cordon at the city supporters would be a great idea ! Now this plan is flawed in one very big way as the bloke his detritus landed on was a legend at the gate for years and any Shire boys reading this will know exactly who i mean . We knew the 'thin blue line' wouldn't last forever and suffice it to say when it dawned on 'spitty' that he wasn't getting his own individual police escort his face was a 'picture' of panic ....well at least it was for the half a nanosecond before it connected with the biggest ' right hander ' i've seen thrown at the gate ! i believe they call it KARMA ......

The_Don Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I was 17 and also in the Open End, that goal and the atmosphere around that time. Think a big part of it is being young and loving the hostile environment, maybe it seems soulless now as we are older? Still think Ashton Gate is an intimidating place now on its day.

Trueredsupporter Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Ashton Gate is not in the least bit intimidating. Bristol Sport are skilfully creating a top family environment winning Family Excellence Awards . Its one of the few grounds where fans of both clubs mingle together in a fan village. In the future there will be there will be stands like there are at Fulham where home and away fans can watch the game together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Remember they had Carl Leaburn up front who was putting himself about a bit, to say the least, which didn't endear him to the home crowd. For years after that game and the furore over their goal, our fanzines of the time referred to Minto as 'Snott Vimto'. Maybe it's because I was an innocent, oblivious 10 year old at the time, but I had absolutely no idea until years later that there was a load of trouble after the game.

Excepting when we play:- Cardiff Millwall Leeds Villa Brum Wolves Forest Boro QPR Sheff Utd ... Lummydaze, they can't even allow away fans on to the corporate hospitality bar balcony without it kicking off big time. AG is still initimidating when it wants to be.
