wowee

Yep, first year I didnt renew due to working saturdays in new job. Oh well ?

Just check my last post SMTM and I actually admit to supporting 3 teams, City ( always my no 1 team as followed since I was 8 ? Sheff Wed as lived there in my teens and Torquay United, as I love Torquay and Paignton. You could also chuck in Hamilton Academicals as I always loved the name !!

ever since I went to Wembley in 1966 as a Sheff Wed fan ( been well documented on OTIB that I lived there in my teen years), happy we will stay up so.............welcome Everton ?

What a lovely article. My dad took me to AG for my first match in 1958. His dad was from Knowle and an ardent City supporter. Was the days of if you were born north of the Avon ...you were blue, and south....you were thankfully Red. After a few years, we went our separate ways, me to the East End and him to the enclosure with his half brother ( father to @CyderInACan and @SuperDziek) City was constantly a major bond in our life and we did now and then meet up for one of the 'biggies' Luckily Dad and I saw us win in 1966 and again saw us play in the old Division One. So we have been blessed. I lost Dad in 1995 and believe me, it hurt, no longer could I rush home and ring him about our win over ABC team. I had two daughters, neither interested in football, but have a grandson who has just turned 7 and is now ready to take on our legacy. I just have to prepare him for his ordeal he will have to go through !! COYR

RIP to the worlds best ever footballer. Not second, not third but THE BEST. A true LEGEND.

Nailed on, we give the away teams points start. As an ex Eastender of the 60's, I cringe when I see the Atyeo nowadays in a key match.

In my day, Harry Dolman was the only millionaire I knew. Now, even boot boys at Prem Clubs are millionaires ?

Usual shit draw, Swansea,

To the tune of Robin Hood : Borehamwood Borehamwood going to the Mem Borehamwood Borehamwood smashing Barton's Men Loved by us Reds, Loved by all good Borehamwood Borehamwood Borehamwood.

RIP Ronnie, glad you were remembered by the club. One of the best goals I have seen in 60+ years of watching football.

yep 2-3

why oh why do we let teams attack after 89 minutes ?????

i tried that one, ab crap, did hesgoal for about 30 minutes then it started buffering, 1969 we landed men on the moon ?

cracking goal, watching in Zante

Would be great if they could

Well done Tommy.............................................WE WANT MORE ?

stuff all that. im off to the mem in their tent, will actually feel like you are there ?

After starting to watch and support City in 1958, my ups and downs of following this club are probably similar to many others. An Eastender in my teens, moving North with old mans job and following Sheff Wed but still keeping an eye on the club ( No internet then) going to Elland Road when Gary Sprake was sent off, moving back to Bristol at 19, taking missus on 1st date to watch a match, sponsoring supporters club with my business in the 70's, Crackers corner v Pompey to get promotion, watching Norman Hunter debut at Baseball Ground, watching fall and rise of my beloved 1982 club ! ST holder all around the ground till this season when for 1st time in a long time did not renew.............No particular reason, 72 this year, getting weary, medical probs for last year with vertigo. Am I still a fan ? I'm on OTIB on a match day.......the flame is still and will always be there.

Yep, as my name suggests, Dad used to stand at back of the terracing and I stood on a wooden stool he built me with my back against the front of the old stand or Cowshed as twas known.

cant remember us saying that about Trevor Jacobs or Donnie Gillies when they went to play for the Gas........Idiots
