Don’t know how to post a link but an open letter from Alf has just dropped on sag chat. Well worth a read.

Few on their closed shop little forum are creaming themselves for the visit of Derby as they will bring a few thousand and get the attendance into five figures.

Comes to something when they have to rely on the away supporters to get a decent attendance.

Tin pot.

 

Imagine Max Bird will receive the usual treatment.

Bit of a blur but I seem to remember a penalty shoot out at Fellows Park (87/88?) to determine the replay venue after we had drawn the two legged final with Walsall……………we lost!

We still need to find a way to score though.. Imagine if it goes to penalties and it easily could. Tommy won’t be on the pitch after extra time, nor will Jamo, Ross McCrorie and unlikely Joe too, so who’ll take them?

My guess;

1. Nahki, 2 Sam, 3 Knightey, 4 Zac, 5 Harry ..

Has Max ever saved a penalty for us?

Didn’t Max save a pen at Villa?

Great stuff as always Jerseybean. We sure owe Nuno one….did we ever get a point from Wolves in his time there? Oh, and he pissed off AD!

Did the roof stay on?

Jonathan Pierce once told me he didn’t do City games. I’m hoping he’s doing the commentary for the US audience! 

He did the Sheffield United cup game a couple of seasons back also on bbc1.

Well, with JP on comms there’s a good chance that Gerry Gow gets a mention.

We were drinking in a little boozer on Hotwells road (opposite the mardyke ) not there any more , our Sunday team use to drink in there when we were that side of town obviously worked out perfectly that day think we played up Whitchurch that morning , at about 1o clock a huge forest escourt walked pass the pub not realising it was a pub I don’t think there was hundreds of them no old bill either , we had a few in there who could and still can look after themselves but there was about 20 of us and had to be 300-400 of them and all proper lads . Not often I come unstuck at Ashton but was very close that day very close 

You play for Dingers team Kev?

It was rumoured that they were looking at him before. After his performance against them this could stoke the fire of desire . 

Saw a couple of comments from their forum likened Cam to Julian Dicks. High praise indeed from them.

No, they are not broadcast live on Radio Bristol, this is due to contractual reasons, the same as the league games. I was in fact listening to RB live and kept the OS audio on new tab just in case they decided to switch it on, a few minutes before the game kicked off, a recorded message was transmitted stating that the commetary could not be broadcast online due to the above reasons.  The game however should have been on BBC Sounds football, but after several attempts at getting it I gave up, as I couldn't find any way to click on to the commentary. I am still awaiting a reply to my complaint, nothing unusal there either.

Strange that, I stand corrected. I managed to watch the game on tv but left the RB (on BBC Sounds) pre match on as a back up and it broadcast the whole game. Also listened to Norwich gas game the day before and previous city fa cup ties the same way. Sure Norn Iron started a thread yesterday complaining about OS audio of the game. Anyway the very best of luck with the complaint.

Great noise especially from Owers, shame I missed this, as once again the OS audio failed to work and not for the first time when we have had a cup match. I have written a damming email to Bristol Sport telling them how useless the system is and that they should do something about the fact that you are unable to report it while the match is on and have to put up with it. I may get a refund, but I won't hold my breath, as I have complained before about this and still nothing has been done,  Useless!

I share your pain mate, I too subscribe to live audio commentary and the service is very hit and miss. Worth bearing in mind though that FA cup games are not subject to the same restrictions as league games and are broadcast live on Radio Bristol online.

We definitely had forgeries,met up in the Sevenways pub(?) in St Jude’s.

Seven stars maybe can’t remember! Always a meeting point for a trip to Eastville. The Gin palace also.

No doubt our paths would of crossed , always full of Bristol lads in Torquay around that time ,  

can always remember a lad who was called sausage ,can’t remember what he looked like or his proper name but remember him being from south Bristol somewhere , why in the hell can I remember that and not much else nowadays

Uncanny Redkev, I too remember Sausage (Soss) from this time, went to college with one of his mates, Hartcliffe boys. In fact several of your posts have resonated with me recently particularly getting a bit of a shoeing at Oxford!
