  1. Yes, they were sent 'signed for'. Mine arrived Saturday. Luckily Postman kept knocking as couldn't get to door quickly.
  2. My first ever City game. Little did I know the years of pain to follow One strange memory is the amount of cigs lit in the East end viewed from the Park end. All those matches being struck were like a light show. Funny what sticks in the memory.
  3. We play a bus ride away from the Gas. Imagine competing with that....
  4. I see the deluded Sags have finally put in planning application for the Fruit Market site......
  5. I thought that but was easy to tell them apart. One team were playing some decent Football, the others were that Shite from the North!
  6. Your Avatar dosn't fit but you're not the Woman that sits next to my Son, never speaks to anyone and claps at no time except when City score are you.... ? The atmosphere has changed over the decades in line with the clientele. In the 80's/90's was nearly all male. Now there's loads of families spread through the ground. Maybe a clouded memory but years ago there was a better atmosphere with crowds of 9000 than today. Very poor now. Used to be great in Blocks A and B but people sang as well in the East End, Enclosure and the Park end so think if the singing section moved it would still struggle to create anything but worth a try.
  7. "Just like you're there watching in Qatar" ?
  8. To be fair. The Mem looks like it may be twinned with where ever that is! His mate dosn't look too happy being seen with him wearing that piece of sh*te does he...
  9. This Melt left a message on Awaydays Facebook praising Millwall when they beat us. Why would you make your child wear that Sweatshirt if you were a Sag!?!? Cruel!!
  10. I was in line with it so easy to see was handball but didn't everyone else in the ground shout for it as well. Seemed like it. Important decisions like that shouldn't be missed by the officials. The linesman on the Lansdown side had a shocker today not just the ref.
  11. Probably not worth watching the highlights on Quest. They never give us enough airtime to show all five goals!! ?
  12. "They're only there for the City!!" Can someone tell me please if have to pay to park at Ashton Gate if going on coach. Havn't been on coach since Leeds but parked away from ground then. Thanks
  13. Maybe if travelling by train tomorrow worth buying return Bristol to Cardiff then return Cardiff to Swansea. Works out £15 cheaper on GWR website. Both tickets can be picked up at station of origin. Added plus bus onto ours which saved a bit more to get up to ground as well. Hope this helps someone.
  14. 45 years ago on the 22nd January as a Twelve year old I walked into Ashton Gate for the first time. There's been plenty of ups and downs since then but have some great memories of time spent with friends up and down the country ( and Europe). Will be at the Gate against Cardiff now with my youngest Son still hopeful and optimistic as ever. Wonder if I'll ever get to see us playing in the top flight against Arsenal again though......
  15. Always enjoy it there. Looking forward to it.
  16. Out of interest do you plan to celebrate when we score our third goal.....? ? Thought about getting tickets here for my son and myself as originally didn't think could go. I know the Fulham supporters would be no trouble but wonder what the stewards would do as now designated home fan section unlike previous years when I've seen plenty of City fans in there.
  17. My son plays for a Melksham youth team so although he is City through and through he went to watch the match at Frome today. I went to pick him up and walked in with ten minutes to go. Cracking game and atmosphere. There's definitely life in non league. Over 1000 at that level is brilliant. Brings back memories of our lower league days in the 80's of freezing cold nights stood on the East End.
  18. I work with the Trowbridge manager. Apparently can't progress at the moment as can't install floodlights due to it being on a Bat corridor!! Gone are the dizzy heights of topping the conference league albeit for only a couple of weeks and crowds of 3500 for a FA Vase semi final. I even travelled to Guiseley to watch them in the return leg of that. Some cracking games at the old Frome road ground in the 70's and 80's.
  19. Exactly this! I went to the Wales v Belgium game and had to show Covid passport. Took screen shot as signal not usually up to much round stadiums. Steward looked at it and in I went. Could have been anyone's. A work colleague who supports Swindon and hasn't been vaccinated went to the Newport game a few weeks back. Scanned a LF test and reported it as negative so had email to show he was negative though hadn't done test. Bloody annoying but that is the flaw. He has continually broke Covid rules and there will always be a way round them if that is what you choose I suppose.
  20. Both teams playing at home today. No doubt which colour Bristol is though to those passing through Temple Meads this evening...
  21. Unfortunately have one adult, one under 18 for sale due to Son waiting Covid result. Will need to be picked up in West Wiltshire or could drop off locally. £25 for the pair. One gutted child at home ☹
  22. Sat 16th dept Bournemouth 09.22 arrive BTM 11.50, dept Bournemouth 09.59 arrive BTM 12.30. Quite an easy trip but a good following. See a lot more Bournemouth shirts about when down that way than there used to be.
  23. Saw this in Asda. Bet that goes down well......
