Back in the early 90s, when I was very nearly almost famous for playing a stupid Norman soldier on the kids show Maid Marian and her Merry Men, some of the cast did a guest appearance on a TV show called Hangar 17, which was a sort of variety show for kids. As I recall, we were in a showbiz quiz against a team from East Enders. Other guests on the show were Take That. I'd never heard of them, but my 13 year old niece begged me to get their autographs. They were in the dressing room over the corridor and only too happy to oblige. Nice lads. There was something about the reaction they got in the studio that day that made me think they might do well for a year or two They were no Little Ron.

I was at King Eddies at the time and Monday night was youth night at Spirals. Loads of people hanging round outside the school gates handing out flyers for free entry to see the ‘that’ - either 90 or 91 Still didn’t go. Every chance Ronnie Butler would have taken offence to my shoes on the door Ronnie Butler, now there's a blast from the past ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it wrong I still know all the words to Robbies “rap” in the middle? Also, I meant to post this from last night. Everyone’s holding up their phone torches during a song.

Bristol Rob Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Read all these posts, seen all these pictures and I can't help but think... Section82 are going to have to raise their game next season. Entry to the south stand via a cardboard cutout space invader, with them then miming along to terrace chants from the 70s should do it.

A Greta Thunberg festival? UK:s biggest gardening festival? Why very tired ex artists lovering the possible income for the club?

Dont arrange to be picked up, or get a taxi from Sainsburys car park. Absolute gridlock with stewards stood around doing nothing to help the flow. Sat in a jam for literally 40 minutes without moving last night. Schoolboy error! With your inside knowledge Horse you should have arranged to be picked up the other side of the railway arch in Ashton Vale. Sainsbury's is the designated taxi pickup point, hundreds of them.

We bussed it down and got a lift back so never made the arrangements, but even so , sounded like a plan. The clever thing to do would be to be collected on the approach to Sainsburys, opposite the garage, and then round the little roundabout, and back.

My advice is arrange pick up via Ashton court estate area/ bedminster cricket club side. Road to motorway via failland clear and no Jams or road closures that side .

I'm guessing it was a panorama taken from the Lansdown stand, as you only see the stage, Dolman and part of the south stand. Best way to do it would be take a complete 360 photo from the centre spot.
