Ivor wants them to catch up with us in league standing, not enjoy beating them in the cup every now and then. It meant so much more than that at the time though than just a run-of-the-mill cup tie. It was the first time that an awful lot of us really started to believe that the dark times were actually behind us and we could see some light at the end of the tunnel again. if we drew them in the FA Cup over there this season it wouldn`t be anything like it was in 1983 and no match against them ever would be again - winning that game defined our future IMO and did something much more important than getting to the third round - it gave us hope and belief again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the way back after the 1982 stuff...so I think that derby in the 1980s really helped us, because we got promoted at the end of that season....and we haven’t looked back since... Completely agree. I was only a young child at the time so only have vague memories of our financial collapse...but I do remember listening to that game at Eastville on the radio with my Dad (supporter since the late 1950s) and I've never seen him celebrate like that before or since - literally dancing around the room with delight. That proves to me how important that win was for the morale of the club. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless people were around at that time or old enough to understand where we were as a club, it's probably not easy to comprehend jut what a huge result that was. We were just about alive as a football club and, as a 16 year old, it felt like 'bring your boots, you might get a game'. R*vers were doing quite well, for them, and nobody gave us a prayer that day. The Muller rd end was rammed, more in defiance than expectation and by god didn't the scum fans let us know it! I agree that that day was a real turning point and don't think I have celebrated a goal more than I celebrated our second, it was bedlam! I despise their club and many of their 'supporters' TBH. Yes, there are some good ones, some of them are close friends of mine but they have an extremely high % of utter *********, waaaay above the average. An example, it doesn't happen very often now but I couldn't go out to a local pub anywhere near where I live now or lived previously without the inevitable 'shithead' comment from someone, even when my kids were small, we would hear some horrible comment. Funny how they say absolutely **** all nowadays. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How very very sad Look. It would be lovely if we all got along wouldn't it? Nobody likes conflict and disliking something isn't a pleasant feeling. I'd have been happy to wish Rovers well and enjoy a good natured rivalry if things were different. However, hate is not natural, it is learned. And it's very hard to feel anything other than loathing to a club that were just waiting for us to go bust so they could scab our stadium on the cheap, announce our scores over the tannoy when we are losing, ripped off the rugby club, constantly spout nonsense about their wonderful support whilst slamming ours and just generally go about their business in a tacky and unprofessional manner. This is an entity that absolutely hates Bristol City and wishes nothing but misery on us, perhaps more so than they want their own team to succeed. You're right, it is sad. Sad that they've given us so many reasons to hate them. Edited September 15, 2018 by Wanderingred 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more on this from me, because sadly some won't, or even can't, understand why others of us find such views repugnant I suspect that you @Ivorguy are the only 'others' on this forum who 'find such views repugnant'. You are older than me for sure; I'm merely in my mid sixties. You hanker after those halcyon days of Atyeo, Bradford, leather football's, no segregation at grounds, going to Ashton Gate one week and Eastville the next, football rattles, rosettes, real butter, mum's homemade jam, rationing, barrage balloons, WWll ... those days weren't all bad, Ivor neither were they all good. I grew up in east Bristol and encountered lots of Rovers supporters long before the term 'gashead' had been coined. They weren't always happy encounters. I watched City and Rovers alternate Saturdays although for me there was only ever one team in Bristol. I never saw Geoff Bradford play but I did have the pleasure of watching John Atyeo. Aged about seven, walking away from my first derby match wearing my City rosette, an adult Rovers supporter unprovoked (I was only seven after all) tried to punch me in the stomach. Thankfully for me, he smashed his hand into the heavy wooden rattle I was holding, hurting only himself, not me. At that moment, for me, the die was cast. I am a very proud Bristolian and always will be; I am an avid football supporter but Bristol City is my only footballing love. I don't like the Rovers; I despise them and hope that they go bust. I respect your age and your different point of view, Ivor but you are not entitled to tell me and other forum members that our opinions are 'sad ... childish ... thuggish ...decidedly unpleasant ... uncalled for' just because they doesn't coincide with your views.

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 So, to recap today, we are 3rd in the Championship behind only Leeds by a point & Brentford on GD whereas they are third from bottom in the league below above only Oxford on GD & with Plymouth two points below them. #Mindthegap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
