Same here. That was maybe the 3rd time I'd been to the gate, but it was the one which got me hooked. 24 years and many season tickets later, I'm still hooked. So I'm just about able to bear some of the cringeworthy threads that have popped up since last night, as I realise first-hand just how much this game could mean to city in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Manchester are hugely in our debt. As a result of the 1909 FA Cup final they were able to use their share of the gate receipts and the prize money to build Old Trafford. Once this was done and they were getting massively improved income and this set them up for the success they would go on to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thread by looks of it. I did laugh at this post You are best off steering clear of the home end. Bristol City are up there with Cardiff and Millwall, off the pitch. They have been waiting for this for years. Many years ago, like maybe 20, they went up to Liverpool away with 9,000 fans and took many liberties. Do not be fooled by the accent, the songs about Cider !, or the lack of exposure to the top flight. This lot are a right bunch of nutters, and I'd say there will be plenty of trouble given United's away following also. Come on United ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I got no problem with it personally. People jerk off to hav<whatever his name is> official match day threads. I avoid them until it is at least 2 pages long because I find the original post and the bum licking nice thread “hav” rubbish mind numbing - I’m here to talk football, not history but each to their own at end of day.

Took a look and all they are talking about is the Semi-Finals which suits me. Ok, a couple have said it won't be easy, and a bit tricky as we've knocked out the 3 other Premier Teams but most just think all they have to do is turn up and we're just going to roll over because it Manchester. Ok, we're probably going to get tanked, but you never know, it's a funny old game.

I think the only way round this mate is to have the, "our," old Bristol City back. You know, the one with the East End of our youth, the financial meltdown, the decades of mediocrity and disappointing cup draws/ties v Gillingham, the inability to cope with second tier football, the failure to maximise our strengths, the weary acceptance that success is for other clubs because we are "miles from London/the north west" and a list of other spurious reasons (Swansea, ffs?!) why we should ever hope and expect better as long as Flint's arms, the hapless decision-makers in the boardroom, the pisspoor local derbies with dullards like Swindon and Rovers...................
