Mr Popodopolous Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 5 minutes ago, Die Hard Red said: That’s a fact that can’t be denied, but the club itself was founded in and still stands in the City and County of Bristol. Loads of Chelsea fans in Surrey too. Agreed. I'm from Bristol myself, just saying our fanbase can stretch quite well. We're clearly Bristol though, no doubt.

One Team In Keynsham Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 43 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: We're definitely within the Bristol boundaries but at the same time fairly sure we have a strong following in bits of North Somerset... Quite a lot of City fans in Weston, Keynsham to name 2? I refuse to accept this fake news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dazzler Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think the OP means MU are "coming back to Somerset", having played at Yeovil 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Though I also intended to refer to the site of our stadium being historically in Somerset, not Bristol, before the Reform Act of 1832!

RedLionLad Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 It's always good to see the big teams playing in this part of the world. So many fans typing Surrey to Somerset into AA Routefinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeovil are a shocking side, have been for a few years now. They’re basically a non-league setup. Darren Way has done a good job there considering the resources.

How the hell do I get to the nearest metrobus point then? If only this statement could be printed on 10,000 pieces of paper, put into a timed explosive parcel, mailed to the council house and detonated once they were in session so that it rained all over their ignorant minds.

Admin phantom Posted January 24, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Did anyone just see ITV West news? Yeovil put the last 200 tickets on sale this morning, the news interviewed 6 people, one guy said he was a lifelong Yeovil fan, the next FOUR all said they were united fans getting tickets in the home end, they even mentioned wearing Utd shirts. Amazing they were openly going to buy these tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing they were openly going to buy these tickets I couldn't believe that it seemed anyone who turned up could buy tickets. Someone had three and another couple bought four. But no details in the report, so perhaps other factors determining the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never underestimate the good folk of Somerset.....most of my family were from deepest, darkest Somerset....in the towns and villages down there they will welcome anyone with open arms, unless you decide you want to abuse their hospitality and act all big and clever.....
