Think York away was on a choo, choo special if memory is still intact? -
40th anniversary of my favourite away day
fisherrich replied to ralphindevon's topic in Football Chat
Brilliant day out. City were back! There are some great pics on here or FB of us all invading the pitch, someone might post them if they still have them? Great memories of the 80s following this club. Probably best days for me after the 1st Div obviously. -
The football club is a basket case. It ain’t just Tinnion who is just another Lansdown ridiculous appointment. It is the Chief Exec, Chairman and Board also. The sooner Lansdown goes, the better. What a rediculous Twitter post.

Brings back memories. Bolton away was good day out although not for the faint hearted. Divvy (RIP) organised a meet at M5 Michaelwood Services at 9.30am Northbound. Taunton, Barton Hill, Whitchurch, Knowle West, Hartcliffe, Bemmi, all there. Loads of vans, mini buses etc. 200+ of us in Bolton at 12.30pm. At a pub called the Walkabout or something - with a central bar in the middle of the pub 15 minute walk from the ground, (you could walk all the way round the bar in a full circle, big pub). Good old sing song and then Bolton turn up outside - Ding Dong for 5 minutes, felt longer, no OB, sketchy. Escort to the ground. Little Ronnie (RIP) had a police horse stand on his foot outside the ground if memory serves me right. You could not write the script! Always remember Burnden Park, hell of an atmosphere/deafening. Loads of City went back to Blackpool for the evening, where it got pretty nasty with one guy I know put in hospital. Football was different in those days. What a season that was.

Time to dump Sky for the summer?

A decent broadband speed is key apparently. But works really well apparently. As Tesco say “ Why Pay More”? -
Good day out prematch, hated Rovers ever since. Plotted up early doors. City all over Bath that day. A part of me misses the Bristol derbies.

The Office (UK): Ipswich Town edition
fisherrich replied to LondonBristolian's topic in Football Chat
The problem is clearly in the corner of the Lansdowns. How much longer can this rediculous ownership continue. We ain’t going nowhere anywhere soon under these bafoons. If Ipswich make it, then we’ll done to them. Great achievement. -
Having worked at a senior management level with large companies in my career, I believe I have a pretty good idea how businesses should and should not operate at most levels - both accountability, corporate, commercial and Board level. Looking in from the outside, it is plainly obvious to me how the current structure is hopelessly inadequate for what is needed. We have no chance under the Lansdowns unless a fluke like Luton happens. We need change at the very top. Anyone who thinks different are in cloud cuckoo land.
-
We will sign 2/3 and then sell 2/3 and around we go again. No progressive plan/structure in place and no ambition. Fact.
-
What Ipswich are doing, just underlines how bad Bristol City FC has been run under the Bristol Sport template. Well done Ipswich if they get there.

Anyone paying for Sky nowadays are nuts. You do need a decent WiFi connection for the streaming service to work though and it is probably a good idea to purchase a decent VPN such as Nord. And away you go.

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’m on that video (:laugh:). Got a 12 month banning order. But Pompey were in our stand. End of!! Good days back then watching City.

Great football club Pompey. Close knit, tight fan base. Bit like how City used to be. Well done Portsmouth .
