Robinito Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 @handsofclay was my brother in 1976......... Wait a minute, the coincidences just keep on coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 In 76 I was slim, a lightning quick forward in the suburban league and could keep going all night long. Now Ive put a bit of weight on and haven't put a pair of football boots on in over 30 years. Still, 1 out of 3 ain't too bad! Mrs Downend does now tell me that if I'm going to keep going all night long it might be a good idea to invest in some incontinence pants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Ah 1976....... the long hot summer Top music from that year (from memory - no google) included: ABBA - Knowing me knowing you Billy Ocean - Red Light Spells Danger Steve Miller - Abracadabra Stevie Wonder - Isn’t she Lovely what a fantastic year that was! I remember Chew Valley Lake emptying to the level where you could see the old road into Morton appear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I remember Football Focus (if it was called that back in 1976) ran a feature on City prior to the 1-0 victory at Carlisle in March 1976. It showed the lads being interviewed on a fishing trip. What is the most famous running gag about a fishing trip in a British sit-com? Yes, Uncle Bryn's fishing trip with his nephew Jason in Gavin and Stacey. What sit-com is making a long awaited return in a Christmas special this season? You guessed it, Gavin and Stacey!! Must be an omen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Only a few years before 1976, we improved the ground massively by building the Dolman Stand. Now the ground has been renovated again. Every stand other than the South Stand has a name, so I think it's time that it is renamed after the manager who took us to the top flight.
