Always thought that some of the comments about our blue friends were over the top as in fairness most of my blue few mates are a bit strange but alright really.
However a recent experience in Spain would make me review that.
Me and my city supporting friend went to Malaga match against Athletic Bilbao. We often go and watch Malaga .
Anyway on the train back to fuengorila where we were staying we got talking about the game when a rather portly gentleman who was sat next to us asked us in a thick Bristol accent what was the result of the game. Thinking this was odd as he was wearing a Malaga shirt I asked him if he had been to the game and he told me that he had but had gone early from the match because he wanted to get a taxi all the half or so mile to the railway station.
He had missed the two late Malaga goals but also admitted he didn't get into the game to see the early Athletic goal because he was late meaning he had missed all the goals.
I was thinking what a nice chap he was and asked him if he was a Bristolian which he said yes and what team he supported which he replied " I was born on the right side of the river" which I replied "the red side?"
Anyway said nice chap becomes very aggressive towards me and starts to rant "you're not a f*****g s***head are you. I f*****g hate s***heads. You b******ds are everywhere. I am going to text my mate and tell him". I told him to make sure he told his mate there was two city fans to the one R*****s fan so normal service had been resumed even in Spain.
Well this rather nice chap who had turned into a real nasty git then got his phone out and showed me a video of when he went to Sabadell in the summer for a friendly saying " we took 850 fans you S*** heads would have only took about 70"
The train journey took twenty minutes and he continued to get more agrresive and tell us how rubbish Ashton gate is and how their so called new stadium would have a 33k capacity.
If I am aboard and I meet fellow Bristolians I like to chat to them and maybe have a drink with them even if they are r****s fans.
This guy proves everything that has been said on this thread about them being nasty and hating us more than they love there own team
Surely the referee not going to allow thirty seconds of more for every Cardiff throw near our penalty area?
