'Pack' It In Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 1 hour ago, GrahamC said: Lockleaze would be my shout, too. Henbury, Patchway & Horfield are like a foreign country to me, so have absolutely no idea but would have thought Fishponds was still a bit more blue than red? Used to be the case that East Bristol was seen as Gas, but doubt very much that the likes of gentrifying St.George & Redfield are these days & as someone who grew up there in the early 70s it was 50/50 even back then. I am a City Fan from Lockleaze 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needed the football fix. Would I watch Rovers now ? Nah, never. To be fair, most of the gasheads don't bother so there's no way any of us would even contemplate it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't great in the early 80's being a kid as a City fan back then. I live in yate now and still have a few gas friends, they take the piss out of themselves than what we are doing. I've got a young lad who's, 19 and works as my labourer, he's a City fan and has never seen a derby. I couldn't give a shit if they ended up playing on the Downs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 In the early/mid 70’s, Henbury, Southmead, Horfield and Redland formed the broad ‘front line’ dividing predominantly City to the west and the Sags to the east. Being a regular visitor to ‘front line positions’ I was acutely aware of tensions and who was who. The Sags have never ‘owned’ North Bristol. Certainly back in the day, Southmead had good representation on the East End. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.G.Red Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 8 hours ago, Simster said: Ha! Laying my cards on the table, seriously I am a passing Brighton fan and I regularly log into forums of clubs around the league. I just like football and reading what other football fans think - that's all. As for Bristol, I quite like both Bristol clubs if I'm honest. I do feel sorry for Rovers though (in a way I wouldn't expect you to, for obvious reasons) - they've had ground problems ever since I was a teenager and I'm 50 on Saturday - although they don't exactly help themselves when they hire violent cretins like Joey Barton. I thought you’d come on here to thank us for selling you Adam Webster, who is obviously a key part of your team achieving such lofty heights in the PL so far this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been excellent for us, to be honest. Started off shakily in his first half season (perhaps to be expected) but now firmly part of a very good Premier League defence. Shame he's injured for the next four games as we will undoubtedly miss him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 7 hours ago, Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan said: No problem. Like I say, I wouldn’t expect it to change your opinion of the Gas as an outsider but I felt it was worth pointing out that it goes deeper than just playing in the same City. It would be hypocritical of me if I didn’t mention that our fans haven’t been angels in the past with an arson attack late one night in the early 90s...probably got the idea from Rovers themselves who allegedly set fire to their own main stand at Eastville about 7 years earlier. I don’t recall any occasion where City the club have tried to cause financial or stadium issues with Rovers. People from outside often remark that the most sensible thing for football in Bristol would be to build a big, modern stadium in the centre of the City for both teams to share. I couldn’t see it working myself... Well no, because that would involve some money from those ***** and they don’t have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
