WhistleHappy Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Following NTTDS's thread on Evening Post revenge.. Got me thinking that through the years we must have featured in and on a few headlines and front pages … What are the best Bristol City newspaper appearances you can recall?

I'm in that crowd somewhere - in the enclosure right in front of the Directors Box - that moment when AD grasped the Mic and started his speech with " Now we're in the FIRST DIVISION......"

BS4 on Tour...

The 'headline' (or varients) had been doing the rounds for years, they simply had to wait for the right result such they could use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Old Boy Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Front page of most national papers when we knocked the mighty Leeds out of the cup.

The Nest Egg Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 My girlfriend's dad went and bought every national newspaper from after we beat Man U for my Christmas present, I should go and find them since there must be some cracking photos that haven't been seen since. Cheeky bugger put the Daily Mail front page on the top so it would be the first thing I would see when I opened it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
