Never to the dark side Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 French cycling is deemed more important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 The Tour de France is an international event that just happens to, mostly, take part in France. There have been 6 British winners in the last 8 years. It’s very relaxing to watch as often the cyclists just waft along, through beautiful scenery, without much happening. It’s the opposite of watching Rovers at Horfield. There you watch not much happening with awful scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor pulling... Is that when you try and take agriculture machinery on a date? And if it is, but you then get dumped, do you get sent a John Deere letter....

Shaun Taylor Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 One of my all time great memories helped by one of our own players contributing and forgot how good Don Rogers was. Many of us older ones miss the Big Match on a Sunday afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pun slipping into a thread now and again makes me believe that at least there is some sign of getting back to normality. We could all do with some signs of hope now and again.

I went to filbert street around 1977 to Man Utd play I was only 13 and me and a mate travelled up by train which seems crazy nownand would never be allowed. I vaguely remember it was a long walk from the railway station and reading the football paper at New Street station on the way home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my 2nd year at Poly I shared a student house on Brazil Street, which was just up the road from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
