Hahahahaha **** off! I took a (proper, from Salford) Man Yoo fan and a Swansea fan to that game - in the pub after they both said the atmosphere was unreal, more intense than the Manc and South Wales derbies, I found that very hard to believe, but they insisted ... still not sure, but interesting feedback on the hatred in our fair city!

Also posting after the game how they were attacked by they vile s’heads at FT (totally unprovoked of course) this despite after the game had started a fair few of them storming into the ground and giving it the big un etc then at FT they started breaking the EE seats and throwing it at those on the pitch.

Bristol Rob Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 What are the chances of a limited overs cricket game being played on a Saturday evening (during an Ashes Series) in Bristol getting a higher gate than the Fewers this weekend?

Super Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 You can't even compare the JPT game to the League game with the Donawa winner. That was one epic night the open end was magic! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Some other favourite derby memories: 1984: 3-0 win at the Gate, first time we had met them in the league in a fair while 1993: The night when we effectively relegated them. Great atmosphere that evening 1997: Beating them three times at their new hovel in a calendar year 1998: 2-0 win at the Gate (partly thanks to a bit of a dodgy penalty award) that went a long way to securing our automatic promotion 2000: 3-2 Beadle-inspired victory the Friday before Xmas. Gash took the lead after about 50 seconds but weren’t in the game after that. Edited September 5, 2019 by WessexPest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beadle!” at the Scum was the most cathartic thing ever in light of previous AG derbies. He almost capped it off with a superb fourth goal - juggled the ball on the edge of the area and flashed a shot just wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an evening back in the early 70s when we played the Gloucestershire Senior Professional Cup Final at Eastville, in the days when it was a big deal and both teams put out a first team. Our forward line scored the first four leaving Skirton, no 7, the odd one out and they fed him until he got the fifth...happy days and not much has changed.

I remember being stood on the Tote that evening surrounded seemingly only by City supporters. When the final whistle went, I had the place virtually to myself as everyone else seemed to be on or around the pitch. I had a very happy walk back to St George that night!

Swede Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 On 04/09/2019 at 13:28, pride of the west said: 6 years ago today they told us they had their new stadium. We're still laughing now I never want to play them again. Rivalry is built on sharing a common theme whether that be location or league but the only thing we share is the city's name. It would definately be a no win scenario for us such is the sizemic gap between both clubs on and off the pitch and that is ever widening with all of the progress we make as a club just tends to highlight all of their pitiful ineptitude going in the opposite direction. I am at the stage where I now don't even see them as a rival anymore just a laughing stock to poke fun at and ridicule. Deep down they are bitter and envious, they know we have everything they don't have so much so that a victory for them is us losing, irrespective of how their team's done. Seemingly I don't know another city/town with the same moronic mentality. Like I said green with envy and a constant reminder of how bitter they are. If you engage in any sort of debate with one, like a lemming, they can only retort with "shithead" when they quickly run out of ideas . 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
