chinapig Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I have friends who support Leicester and Chelsea - born and bred fans not latecomers - who are equally impressed. They were both disappointed not to end up meeting us in the semi as they wanted to experience the atmosphere at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveF Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I was chatting to a Cambodian waiter in Phnom Penh yesterday and when I said I was from Bristol he said ‘Bristol City!

None spoke English but I was welcomed in by Chief Lion Heart for blended insects and sheep balls. I mentioned I was from Bristol, England to which they all shouted “In by Taylor, ITS SMITHHHHHHHHHH!!! THE ROOF HAS JUST COME OFF HERE AT ASHTON GATE” was a sepcial moment followed later that night by severe diarrhoea... I suspect it was the sheep balls...

redysteadygo1 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 At my age the conversations often turn to illnesses, body failings, medicines, etc, and although I am reasonably healthy and medication free I often quip that I have to take two pills a day. One because I am Bristol City season ticket holder and the other because of the wife. Well it's down to one pill a day now and I can assure you it's not the missus that has changed.

Robbored Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Just goes to show that when your little known team is winning and near the top of the Championship how much interest that generates. Beating Man Utd helps of course..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyolly Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Just been chatting In a pub in Brighton while watching Cardiff LOSE. Got on to City and subject of Man Utd came up.

Maybe but it's good to bring bristol City back on the map, it can only help us regarding transfers. Being on sky 5 times in 6 weeks also helps.

Possibly but not my experience. Most who have endured losing the Goldstone, playing at Gillingham then at Withdean seem pretty grounded. Loved beating them at the Amex to stop them winning the league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s mad to think that at that time my parents and a lot of people on this forum were probably in the pubs of Bedminster with their mates completely oblivious to what was happening here. It’s given me a lot of a interesting experiences including the worst diarrhoea known to man... but I’ve found a pub that’s showing the City match this evening and the missus is happy to wear a City shirt and watch it with me!
