handsofclay Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 It is nearly five years since I split with my ex after nearly 20 years together. Finally, after redecorating, I now really feel at home. I'm not saying you need to ditch a woman to get a home like this but such women who would welcome such a makeover are very rare indeed although I suspect the likes of Dollymarie, Red M and Septic Peg would approve. I also have a stadium clock which can play City commentary on RB as if it is coming over the stadium PA system and I have a Bluetooth speaker installed to Play live baseball from the States. There are 17,000 seats on the two sides so when I'm sat on my sofa it is like being in a 34,000 seater stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 If I remember correctly, in the Rotherham FA Cup match, City wore Rovers kit as if colours clashed in cup ties, both sides had to change. City list toss to wear white shirts and borrowed kit from Rovers. And in those days, nobody was upset by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 12 minutes ago, Never to the dark side said: nice one Only you could say that and mean it. I'm too nervous to ask why not just go to the match instead ?....... because this usually involves an answer I didn't anticipate and a subsequent apology. Cat seems happy enough, though.

havanatopia Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Blimey that new upper tier in the Atyeo looks a bit dodgy but maybe thats the only way to squeeze another 5000 seats in and still maintain the right to light by those residents behind. Impressive work nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 i query the price board...............not the 2/6 and 6D , but the "home supporters only". I'm sure they didn't have segregation when those prices were in operation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few thoughts 1) I like it. 2) reminded me of the GOODIES with the cat 3) think how much easier and cheaper it would have been if you had been a gashead. end of season sale 2 plastic chairs and a gazebo £20 pounds sir.

When I started in 1950, I remember prices in Covered End of one shilling adults and sixpence for kids. So an adult price of 2/6d would have kids price around 1/-d. Probably prices from mid to late 1950's. And definitely no segregation which only arrived after decimalisation of the coinage. But great memorabilia.

After starting my career at the "Gate" by being taken by my father I was let loose to go with my mates in 1957. Price in the Open End was 1/-d.

I'm sure they didn't have segregation when those prices were in operation ? I got it on eBay. There wasn't one for Ashton Gate so asked the chap if he could do it. He said he could and it would be the same as the Anfield one except Ashton Gate Stadium written instead of Anfield. I quite agree. My first games as a seven and then 8 year old were in the last few months before decimalisation was introduced in Feb 1971. There was no segregation then. Plus back in those days we didn't have an all seater stadium and what seats there were weren't red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obviously not an original sign as it definitely was’t Ashton Gate Stadium in the sixties or seventies. Edit . Just seen reply above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
