It is very simple ' the official crowd was 47,000 for the play off final and 52,000 were Gasheads. Did Diane Abbott count them 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why many would say it’s their best away day and have no argument with that but for me Cov’ ‘77 beats it hands down, also Newport & Chester away were memorable for various reasons, Swansea and Brum in ‘89/‘90 were good fun as well, all my best away games seem to be at least 25 years ago !!!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could have been We'd have beaten Luton I honestly believe we would have. What would have been the kicker though was that it was still the time of the English Clubs` European ban post-Heysel and the League Cup winners got a UEFA cup place back then. That would have been a sickener - to qualify but not be allowed to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Forest and Bradford were very good, the 5 nil at the Vetch and the 4 nil at St Andrews stand out as well. Liverpool was brilliant, but it has to be Highfield rd for me, my first away night match. Thanks dad.

Had just a weird feeling all from the trip up in someone's car. forgotten who.. and i came back on one of the City coaches, :laugh: mad but that was how it happened for me.

Surely he burnt his bridges when the gas played QPR reserves earlier this season in the EFL Cup and when asked on Talksport who he wanted to win, Holloway said QPR....loads of abuse aimed at him after that from ‘the loyal and few’...

BCFC11 Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Banners? Fan demo’s/protests? Na we’ll bombard them on twitter!! Perhaps we should all use social media to reference honesty, integrity, trust etc through outlets like: www.ajib.com/en mobile.twitter.com/AJIB_Bank www.arabadvisors.com/hani-al-qadi If they won't talk to us then maybe we should, indirectly at least, talk to them. Hopefully they would then do the honourable thing and sell to someone more embedded in what BRFC is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will likely be as successful as when they threatened to load up their trolleys in Sainsbury's and then abandon them in the aisles in a 'mass' display of Gas disobedience. It was all hot air.

Extremely hypothetical I know, but if the Gash ever do get their new ground and they played us there, do you think we’d see a return to the types of buzzing allocations we used to get before they quit Beastville? Every time they’d come to our place we’d give them either the entire East End it at least a decent chunk of it while we’d get a measly few hundred tickets at Trumpton or Whorefield.
