BobBobSuperBob Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Got way laid chatting to a mate in concourse at half time , must have been over a thousand still under Dolman.... Massive roar from inside the Gate ........... In a moment everyone falls silent, a thousand heads turn in unison to the nearest screen............just in time to see Plato’s cross and andreas’s header............ explosion of noise and scenes.....scenes........and a lot of noise.........Brilliant and one of my favourite moments watching City Anyone else there ?

alandicks Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 No but always wonder if there is something better the club can provide regarding the selling of drinks at half time. As we went back into the ground for the second half people were still queuing for drinks and ,I guess, would have missed the first quarter of an hour of the second half ? Don't know what the answer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Was in the coffee shop, didn't hear a thing. Wasn't until I got back to my seat on 48 minutes (at the back of the SS) that I thought something was different and looked at the board "oh were 1-0 up - get in, yes, bloody hell".

Don't know what the answer is. We get a few staff come round the wheelchair section in the opening 10 minutes, taking our half-time orders. Very civilised.

bcfc01 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Wasn't in the concourse but had just landed at Bristol airport and turned on my phone just as the goal flashed up. Got a few looks when I let out a "get in" ! But also a couple of lads asking if City had scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there too. Wasn't helped by no pre-poured pints, meaning massive queues in the concourse. The anticipation, knowing something good was about to happen, was brilliant. Then up the steps to join in the celebrations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 It always amazes me how it is that people cant wait another 45 minutes before having more beer / food. It's not as though there isnt enough time before the game. Yes a quick pee stop or coffee to warm upat half time but not at the expense of missing any of the match. There is always an exodus starting on about 38 mins wtf !! And as for leaving the ground before the end why....just so you can go home to the missus earlier !!!

LondonBristolian Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I’d just moved out my seat on the end of aisle to let someone get past me into where they were sitting. Luckily I turned back to the action just as Pato got into the box. Saved me the effort of getting out of my seat to celebrate! On a related note, this was probably due to the angle of where I was sitting but was I the only one who saw O’Dowda take the shot for the second goal, saw the keeper get a hand to it and was still groaning at the save until O’Dowda wheeled away in celebration?

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Ended up there for the goal yes. Went down at HT with mates to get what I hoped was a swift pint and back by start of 2nd half- but still the delayed reaction then celebrations in the Concourse? Great moment! As a side note, nothing to do with the club this point- but the national law/rule that you cannot drink in view of the pitch at professional football in UK? Proper anachronism.

Which is bloody mad for many reasons, including the fact pictures are delayed so you already know if we've scored, or conceded before you see it.
