  1. After all he did for them. Should be ashamed of themselves
  2. So - fellow Somerset fans, and yes I include myself. Why oh why do we come back for this annual humiliation. To make it even worse there was actually some hope for a while tonight - surely there’s enough disappointment watching City without choosing to go through this. That’s it. There’s no way I’m coming back for another dose of this... until next season!
  3. We mustn’t forget that their away support is way better than ours. Ok, the tickets might have been cheaper than we had to pay up there last week BUT the pay on the day option will have put thousands off as being able to turn up and pay cash at the turnstiles is a real inconvenience. Also, don’t forget they have another game next Saturday and thousands more will be choosing that one instead.
  4. I recently came into some money..... I’d ran out of tissues
  5. I was out for a Christmas drink with a bunch of them on Friday and I have to say top salt of the earth lads. Misguided?Absolutely I say, although I’m sure they think the same about me. They can also laugh about their club as much as any of us can. All of the Rovers fans I know in person are decent.
  6. That really is one of the shocks of the season......Nichols scoring
  7. Plus a lot of them would have been saving their money for the Barnet replay
  8. Hardly fair though. Don't forget literally tens of them would have been in Peterborough.
  9. Just bumped into a Rovers fan I know. Asked him how he was. Didn't even mention football. First thing he says is 'Good win for Wolves' WTAF - 'Good win for pretty much every team you play' was my reply
  10. Can't thank you enough for posting this. My down in the dumps moody teenager would barely communicate until I took this up to show her. Transformed her mood instantly
  11. Was surprised to see a Banjo Reds flag at the Boro match. I was born in Cadbury Heath before moving to Kingswood which was nearly all Gas back in the day. Huge thanks to my mate Dar and his Dad for taking me to City as a youngster.
  12. What a quality celebration it was. He put the bloke in the disabled section's hat on if I saw correctly. One of the Ipswich fans seemed to get majorly arsey about it, which made it even funnier. Ipswich fans I spoke to were great before and after the game.
  13. Got back about 10:15. What a journey but well worth it - nice to see the players; coach pass us and be able to watch a bit of the Man City match through the window. Had a look through match thread to see how many we had - Would have guessed at nearly 1,000 from being there. Thought the support was excellent today.
  14. I saw and heard them outside the ground by the park heading towards North Street as we arrived. Did think about giving them a friendly warning to be careful going up North Street like that. A bit cringeworthy as they weren't exactly the biggest scariest looking bunch. Thought the rest of the Barnsley fans added a lot to the atmosphere. Good effort from them with nothing to play for.
  15. Bit of a goegraphy lesson for me today - Didn't realise quite how close Blackburn is to Preston. A few minutes out of Blackburn we could see Deepdale. Preston must be closer to Blackburn than Burnley is?
  16. If you do find out try and remember for next time - There's an outside chance we might get another one before the end of the season.
  17. Fantastic post Up the City. Perfectly sums up how the day was for me too. I nearly sh@t myself when I saw how high up we were. Took me a good few minutes to get used to it. The site of more and more knackered City fans arriving after climbing all those stairs was a great distraction. Loved the way we outsang 50,000 Newcastle fans. The only time I thought they were REALLY loud was when they were booing Giefer for taking his time, which I absolutely loved. The fact that 2600+ City fans went all they way up there and gave the level of support that they did, in spite of how bad performances have been lately, gave me a great sense of pride in being a City fan. Half time was priceless when one of our fans was on the phone to a mate telling them we were 2-0 up. 'No, we're winning 2-0 .....2-0 to us....honest....' Been to 60+ grounds watching City but that was right near the top for me as away days go. Worth every mile of the 600 mile round trip.
  18. They've had 8 clean sheets in their last 9 home games - we've taken 1 point form our last 9 away. Could be a long afternoon but stranger things have happened.Will never forget going to Portsmouth when form stats were much the same and winning 3-2.
  19. 13,140 - Not bad as was a Cup match
  20. Another win today. sorry Tomarse, you beat me to it
