It's through proper publishing house, so you kind of think they should have proof readers for such things , you hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe - although could be wrong - that the author is currently self publicising the book (making the flyers etc.), which might explain the poor grammar. Don't think the publisher has been involved in any of the current advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things were looking bad we had lost the game 1-0 It was our turn to run the gauntlet of the home boys who seemed to be every were outside. After an eventful exit we arrived at Paddington to get our train as we were boarding the train we came under attack from more Chelsea boys as we tried to keep them of the train eventually the train pulled out the station and we were on our way Home!

Bristol Rob Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 22 hours ago, BS4 on Tour... said: The typo seems to have been corrected...but shouldn't the second speech mark be after the word 'More' ? So the speech marks are in the wrong place, there is a lack of capitalisation in the publishers name and the author seems to have a reluctance to using the word 'the' in the updated information. This bodes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking about it when I saw your post, horrible bobbly pitch and all that train noise. Over 30 years ago. Why do we always show our age? 19th November 1983. Cold, drizzly, overcast and gloomy day as I recall. I remember on the way up up we were wondering if we were about to witness a record City victory. 18 months or so after that day in '82, 2nd season in Div.4, and we were still ridiculously optimistic, even though we'd yet to assemble a team to give us any real confidence.* Showing our age? I suppose so, but those days following City were bloody memorable, even if mostly overwhelmingly disappointing! *Thinking about it, this match took place in the 83-84 season, which finished with us getting promoted at Chester, and of all our successes since the early 70's that day was about as memorable as they come.

Funny it was grey getting to the game but I seem to remember the sun came out second half. Blimey you were optimistic I was happy with 0/0. Maggie had just moved/bought a gaff to Dulwich and the place was in the news a lot. Overwhelmingly poor football as well as disappointment. But it was more about supporting the team and when a little success did eventually come our way the club always conspired to bugger it up The early 80s era post reformation of the club for me was defined by the ex players that dropped down to play for us the likes of Tom, Howard Pritchard, Jon Shaw et al and that goal by Hirst at Eastville, mayhem!

Gary Hirst goal at Eastville, this one I went to. It was around this time the CSF were starting to get the upper hand over the Gas. They were on the way down while City were as mentioned earlier in the thread were on the way back up. As stated, a little bit of success and us City fans latched on to it big time, after what we had gone through before as a club. Rise of the phoenix almost because we were very nearly gone!!!
