Millwall geezer got run over by the BH that day. Probably the craziest day at football I ever witnessed, including all the England away games I went to. Everyone knew Millwall were coming down in numbers. Bristol City were a rated firm in those days which is why Millwall, Pompey etc came to Bristol.
All seems surreal compared to AG nowadays, but that’s progress I suppose.

I think it was by the London Inn unless there were two ran over !!!

hmm, I'd like to think so.

It's not just that though. Because of that stupid SKY deal, I don't know if I can actually attend any games.

I'm really ****** off about SKY

I agree, i could make every game if it was Saturday 3pm, i must of missed about 6 games this season due to dopey  K.O. times/days

Remember him playing for us, good to see him still playing to a decent standard 

He's made a decent living from football, spent most of his career in the 4th division & Conference

The system will go into melt-down on Monday when everyone on here who says they're undecided will decide to re-new, we all know that our love for our team is unquestionable, go on, you know you want to

Taunton relegated after losing at home to Weston 1-0

Marlon Jackson with an 84th minute winner 

He was on City's books, my boy went to school with him, a lovely kid

Such a heart-warming video, such seemingly little things can go a long long way, fair play to all concerned

I bet Villa's keeper didn't know the rule. Great pen keeper but what an absolute clown. Could have cost them everything!!

Didn't he win Argentina the world cup with the same sort of antics ?

Would of been have the crowd arrested in that Millwall home game in ‘85

Realistically stayed up by winning

In reality a draw isn't enough for Taunton either, otherwise they have to not only beat Hemel Hempstead on Saturday but also better turn a 4 goal, goal difference over Eastbourne 

Eastbourne have really turned it around in the last 5 games, they looked doomed a couple of weeks ago, third in the table on current form

Went last Autumn, my Mrs loved the Gothic monastery, the time out food market by the station was great also just sitting on the front with a cheeky bottle of Chablis at sundown was quite relaxing  Personally i could of sat on the trams all day going up and down those steep hills rather than having to do all the cultural things with Mrs Tom !!!

Not in the National itself.  IMO all Steeplechasing should be stopped. 

 

Two horses have died during Ladies Day at the Grand National Festival.

Both horses fell at jumps and were treated on the track, at Aintree Race Course in Liverpool.

Giovinco fell at the final fence of the Mildmay Novices' Chase just before 2pm, and required treatment on the track.

He was treated by vets for an extended time, but could not be saved from the injuries sustained in the fall.

Giovinco was trained by two-time Grand National winner Lucinda Russell, and was seven years old.

A second horse, Pikar, was killed when he broke his neck after a fall, campaign group Animal Aid said.

Pikar, ridden by Stephen Mulqueen and trained at Dan Skelton's yard, fell at the second last hurdle in the last race of the day.

It's a massive moral dilemma for me as i am a big animal lover but also love jump racing (no interest in flat racing)

I think Aden split up with Mrs Pack’s sister and started going out with Chanel Cresswell (actress).  

Look at Dave with the showbiz gossip

I'll say it again. 

When I was at Ashton Gate in the Eighties, I used to dream of it looking somewhat like it does now. 

If only I had known how it would impinge on the atmosphere and matchday experience. 

Would I want the return of the AG of the Eighties?

No. 

But sometimes..

...yes.

Exactly this, how i would love to go back to AG for a day in the 70's for those big games against Liverpool, Man Utd & Leeds in front of 38,000, the atmosphere and emotion was something i've barely experienced since in anything else, it's a whole different experience nowadays and has been for a long time, i blame it on removing the old floodlights !!!

I do oppose the pedestrianisation of the city centre though. People need access to Tandy's. 

Haha, and you can’t beat North Norfolk nights on a wet and windy November night

Pub options near Kennilworth Road are woeful. And to be honest it isn't much better at Stamford Bridge!

Griffin Park - now you're talking! And even the new ground has an easy walk to some lovely old pubs in Kew Village. 

My favourite away ground - although I won't be travelling there this visit - is Carrow Road. Near the city centre and not too far from the station, nice waterside pubs nearby and some cracking bars and restaurants. Far away enough to be a real jaunt. I usually stay over as I'm a big fan of the city and Norfolk on general.

Ryley, Marlon and Joe, well done lads

Fair play to them, will need an upgrade on all three next season though

I see there are 400 left, I thought the allocation was 1600 so 1200 is pretty good

Be surprised if we took as many as 1200

Found it an odd vibe in there personally, went in just before Christmas. Food was nice enough, but every waiter/waitress acted like we were bothering them whenever we asked to order more drinks/sides. 
 

Am going to Rassay myself on Friday!

I had exactly the same experience in there about 10 years ago, never been back. Most recent one i've had was Dhamaka on Clare Street, it was superb

Anywhere off the Wells Road heading South is great, some great pubs in the chew Valley as well

Barely anyone is ‘embarassed’ by the Wurzels. People cling to pillars of regional identity and they get passed on just as successfully through the generations today as they always have. A strong sense of regional identity continues to hold across the entire country from place to place and with devolution movements growing and being successfully implemented these regionalist sentiments are only getting stronger. It’s one of the things that makes England and the UK interesting. Our national identity may be a bit confused sometimes but from city to city, region to region we have such a stretch of cultures, dialect, even language. It’s a great positive way forward for pride of place in this country that most people can get behind. Which is also why the songs of the Wurzels, particularly those written by Adge Cutler, remain just as relevant as ever to folk of all ages in the West Country. He sang about life in rural Somerset, where a lot of City fans are from, and in many of those places the essence of life is much the same as it was when he sang about his experiences.

Personally i think they should keep to performing to the big eared boys on farms:

If they see a lovely field with a family having a picnic, and there's a nice pond in it, they'll fill in the pond with concrete, they'll plough the family into the field, they'll blow up the tree, and use the leaves to make a dress for their wife who's also their brother.

This may sound a little harsh but I think it’s time we left the Wurzels in the 70s. We need a new anthem, kids of today aren’t going to belt this music out.

I know I will be in the minority here.

Agreed 100% and I was around in the ‘70s !!!
