I assume the cortege will make its way to Bemmy Cremmy? Probably up WInterstoke if that's the case. Hopefully the club may give a clearer indication nearer the time? Surely we can all observe the regulations and still pay our respects thoughtfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Twentyman mentioned it on his radio show on Saturday, where he replayed his interview with Buster and spoke about how he was visited by Buster when he was in hospital. Hopefully if details about the cortège don’t appear on this forum or the club website, Geoff will be able to give more details on his show this coming Saturday.

Blagdon Mike Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Dear friends BUSTER FOOTMAN'S FUNERAL COURTAGE TO PASS THROUGH ASHTON GATE STADIUM Buster's funeral takes place at Bristol South Crematorium on Thursday 4 June at 3.30pm. Due to the current regulations, only close family members are able to attend. In order to allow others to pay their final respects, the funeral cortege will pass through Ashton Gate Stadium along Marina Dolman Way. This is expected at approximately 3pm. Those wishing to attend may use the Winterstoke Road car park then proceed to Marina Dolman Way. Social distancing must be observed at all times. The family intend to hold a Celebration of Buster's Life at a suitable time in the future. Thank you, on behalf of the family Mike Adams Bristol City Supporters Club & Trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Even if there is a bit of rain about, I suspect there will be a larger crowd than some are expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakoe Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I won't be there to show my respect on Thursday but I'll be rasing a glass here in Melbourne in honor of a true City Legend. RIP Buster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 When the Grandson of one of the directors passed away a couple of years ago his courtage did the same route along Marina Dolman way. All the stadium staff came out and formed a guard of honour arch and I heard it was very emotional and a fitting tribute. I am sure Buster will be afforded the same honour. RIP Buster.

ZiderEyed Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Couldn't be there, but I've raised a glass to Buster this evening. I genuinely believe in 40-50 years time Buster will be remembered as well as any player. RIP to one of City's most iconic faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that one member of the Footman family is on this forum, but hopefully the turnout today and the level of respect the great man has on this forum will bring some peace and happiness to the family. Losing anyone will always be hard, but I hope the family have the knowledge that he was an absolute gentleman, and an iconic part of the fabric of Bristol City's history. Never to be forgotten, Buster Footman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Fair play to those you went along to pay their respects, won't be too many physio's who get a send off like that. And fully bloody deserved too. Top man Buster. Rest easy fella. I'm sure it won't be long before he's at heaven's treatment table doing his stuff.
