WessexPest Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Happy Sir Colin Daniel Day, dearly beloved brethren. I can’t decide how to celebrate: Was going to crack open the knock-off Fanta but then remembered the real stuff has links with Nazi Germany so might be more appropriate after all. Was going to make for Braintree for the day and act like an obnoxious turd but then thought maybe going to Mansfield and accusing all the locals of being Bristol City supporters. Was going to enjoy a soak in the tub - you can’t beat a Bath - but then thought I should fire up my useless Gas shower instead. So I decided just to ring Radio Bristol instead and sob uncontrollably down the phone about the local election results and my divorce instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That night it went for us, and there were other - what some may consider insignificant- days and nights that went for you. If you discount games like, off the top of my head, when you beat Hartlepool in the play offs and when you got past Hereford (I think) to get to Wembley for the first time, then you are missing out on a huge fun part of the game. That season was my favourite ever following City all over the Country, we were magnificent to watch with with some great memorable away days but i’m not going to lie, it hurt like hell losing out the Championship to Rovers.

WessexPest Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) 1990 was tough to take at the time but in retrospect it really didn’t amount to much - we went up too, had the satisfaction of effectively relegating the Rent Boys in ‘93, and from then on their bragging rights over us became fewer and farther between - finished above us and won a couple of games in our dreadful seasons of 95/96 and 99/00, but where we’d couldnt buy a win at Twerton we won three times in a calendar year at their current dump and they’ve pretty much been in the wilderness ever since. You could make a case that they had a hold over us until we won a promotion with a title in 2015, but then even that advantage vanished - while we finished runner up to them and went up in 1990, 25 years later we were promoted as champions and they went up as runners up two leagues down - having fortuitously come through the lottery of penalties. 1990 is an irrelevance now.

WessexPest Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 With us not in action til Sunday I was thinking of going down the Mammary Saturday to see Barnsley try to clinch the League One title. Think I’m right in saying that Bristol City supporters are given priority ticket purchasing opportunities for the away end for the Gash’s last home game of the campaign? That was the arrangement in place for the Mansfield game a few years ago if I recall rightly? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
