DOZZYBCFC Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 At the game today was a curious chap. He came along with a note book, writing notes throughout the game. I said that he was quite the note taker and his reply that as he was from London he only went to the City London and South East games. Although he said he didn't make the Norwich game as he was away.... He asked me about what I thought of Bobby Reid, Joe Bryan and Aden Flint's departures and also mentioned the gas.... He asked me who I thought was our player of the season. When I asked him who his player was he said Korey Smith. Now if the extensive note taking wasn't enough to think something was amiss, that answer certainly gave me something to think about! Has anyone else had any experiences of spies at the gate? On a side note, I'm gutted we didn't win today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 At our friendly vs Southampton in preseason before the 2013-14 season (I think) I was sat by some scouts who were monitoring Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 It sounds more like a time traveller from about 2169. Probably a student tasked with writing an essay on what it was like to support Bristol City 150 years ago just before they became a dominant force in world football and were actually selling their stars before being in the luxurious position of buying everyone else's stars. The dead giveaway was the Korey Smith City's best player this season mention. A typical sloppy bit of research by a student getting 150 years ago mixed up with 151 years ago. The mention of gas was also a giveaway. That's what fuels their time travelling vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Met an odd chap in the concourse before the game. An American, he was moaning because his beer glass was filled up to the top, and saying he has treated himself to the dearest seat in the stadium, and he hopes that they sing up there.

RedorDead BCFC Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I sit next to my wife, and she likes to look at what I’m looking at on my phone. Does that count as sitting next to a spy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Sat next to a wba scout in a Rd 1 football league trophy game. He was looking at Aaron brown although wouldn't admit it. The fact he only took notes when brown was involved gave it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've missed a massive opportunity to tell him Marinovic and Marley Watkins are the two best players in the Championship and worth £10m each.

RedM Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 There are always lots of scouts at games, I had to go through one of the VIP entrances once and saw envelopes with various Championship and Premiership team names on them, when I asked what they were for I was told it was tickets waiting to be collected by Scouts, there must have been more than 20 envelopes. It’s a usual occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Used to sit in Williams stand, talking 15 years or so ago. Always had club scouts sat in front of us. Usually from teams that were soon due to play us. Used to end up with pages on formation and set pieces etc. Arrows and lines going all ways.

REDOXO Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I sat behind Bryan Butler after he left the BBC and was reporting for the Torygraph. In his peice he actually said I was sitting next to an orange anarak that analysed everything. LMFAO. HE did say I was Spot On though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
