Roger Red Hat Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 There used to be, maybe still is, a Bristol-Hannover school exchange programme, just like the Bristol - Bordeaux programme, when I was at school in the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 A short quote from the article. ‘The Friendship Cup’ celebrated the link during the 1966/67 campaign. There were home and away matches played with City losing out on both occasions! On November 16th Danny Bartley and John Giles scored in a 3-2 defeat at Ashton Gate, witnessed by 4,599 supporters. The away final was played in Germany, where 10,000 spectators witnessed the German side’s 2-1 win on May 23rd 1967. Fred Ford scored from the penalty spot. I remember all three of those players highlighted, but wasn't the latter our manager at the time? I am not being pernickety, but should that not have been Tony Ford who scored the penalty?

I participated in the student exchange back in 1969. Saw Hannover 96 play Hamburg and everyone was cheering "Uwe" (for Uwe Seeler, the Hamburg player)... even the home fans. The guy was a national hero. Also spent 6 months working in Hannover prior to starting college in '72 and saw a bunch of games at the old Niedersachsenstadion. That place had a lot of character before it was redeveloped. Many fond memories of the city and have followed the team's fortunes ever since.

wendyredredrobin Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I always end up with a Hannover after too many bottles of Bordeaux. Seriously though, a pre season tour or even a tournament with our twin towns would be a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I went on the Bristol Hannover school exchange program in 1998. Two weeks over there then had my exchange student in Nailsea for two weeks. He took me to a game. Remember they lost 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
