bcfcredandwhite Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I met an old boy in the Bear and Swan in Chew Magna about 20 years ago. He said that his family- and everyone they knew - would simply support whoever was playing at home back n the day. Basically they supported both teams. This was totally acceptable until the 1970s when, for some reason the supporters separated themselves out and decided to hate each other. Bizarre.

As I thought, although I’d forgotten how that area used to fill up towards the end. Was packed by the time we scored, after being empty in the first half. I’d also forgotten we hit the woodwork a couple of times, before Holloway & Leaning did their thing..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the derby match where the gates between the Dolman and the open end gave way due to the weight of the queue outside (I think it was the one after this, I spent the entire game in that bottom section of the Dolman, people were stood on the steps as well loads got in for free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Park Reds Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 The 15/12/96 game was I’m sure the game when Hollowhead almost got lynched. 75 of us from Briz met up at the Good Intent at 8am for breakfastand got on a hired double decker bus down to ground.Quite a few came out from the Rising Sun to check we weren’t the funny ones but as the bus was rocking from side to side with us all singing city songs all was fine. No comment after that me honour. I really dislike playing them but the atmosphere is something different.It brings out the worst in me that’s for sure. coyr and ftg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too many of them seem to remember the shame of getting a police escort to a home match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life was extremely ‘ tribal ‘ in the seventies , Mods fighting rockers , Punks fighting teds , Nazis fighting Anti Racists , Police fighting Miners ... Throw in jealousy over our success and there is your division. My City supporting grandad, bless his soul, was an open and reasonable man who wouldn’t have never been seen dead supporting the Gas .
