supercidered Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I find the walk / pub crawl to the ground from Temple Meads to the ground is especially enjoyable. Start at Colosseum, Coronation, Mason's, Packet etc, etc, many different routes before arriving at the field of dreams natched right up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently a hot topic in fact. YoYo is upset because it’s not about Johnson Junior Nogbad And , He likes to tell the mods what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old age is a terrible thing, isn't it? Debut against Grimsby? Scoring a long range header and getting knocked out by the keeper in the process? He wasn't prolific, he wasn't that sort of player. But he scored some important goals. And a far better asset than the others you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved those two. Torpey joined the year before when we went up. Then we signed those other 3 strikers even though 1 was always going to miss out, and we badly needed a good defender to replace Shaun Taylor (we signed a certain current Prem manager who was rubbish)! Basket case of a season really..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP3 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 He did a certain type of job and was always more likely to score than our keeper. Now about that walk. One of my favourites is off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaissance Williams Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Moderators- they’re all talking about football on this walking with Big Nige thread. It’s a disgrace....... PS why has no one mentioned the Guineas on our dockside pub crawl? A perfect footie related post match pint on my way back to the bus stop from the Gate.
