To be fair, I was expecting better floodlights than the ones they've put in the new stadium…... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un bloody believable. When did Leeds last have 6k at home? 8,806 when they played us in the League Cup in 1997. Hasselbaink played for them and scored, we lost 3-1. Elland Road was practically empty apart from our end as it was the first time we`d been there in best part of twenty years.

No excitement for us as not really a rival and nothing on the scale as playing you guys or Oxford but I guess it's exciting for them to play in front of a big league 2 crowd 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the bottom right, you can see a little man locked out while the inside of the stadium is empty. Rather similar to the gas. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Took wifey to physio this morning, after a full knee replacement and stopped of at Boswell's in Kingswood for a coffee and a bacon roll. It was pretty busy so I found her a table and queued up. While I was in the queue, my Mrs offered to share her table with a fella and his grand daughter. No problem thought I until i sat down face to face with Mr Ian Holloway! He was very nice to be fair. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years ago I was working on a house refurb at Lacock and someone told me the chap who came to mow the lawn every Thursday was an ex city player. Anyway Thursday came and looking out of the window I thought I don’t recognise him as a city player. A bit later he came in and said I hear you’re a city fan, it turned out to be Andy Tillson! Had a bit of a laugh with him about him still being the gas’s most expensive signing.He wore Southampton training tops most weeks and threatened to wear a gas shirt one week but I did warn him there might be an “accident” with a tin of paint! We worked there for a few months and he was always interested to chat about city,rovers and local football. One of the nicest blokes I’ve met. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've met before but spent most of the time talking about his granddaughter and the fact 'nanny' wasn't too well. He absolutely dotes on the little one so it seemed rather crass TBH. As I left I did mention that the last time I saw him in Kingswood was hanging off a bus saying 'let's play spot the City fan', as he replied, 'that was a long time ago'. To be honest, although I despised him as a player and sag, I can't help but have respect for the guy for putting up with all the crap we've thrown at him over the years plus his family difficulties. Even the Mrs was impressed how polite I was (brownie points). Edited January 21, 2022 by Ska Junkie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for my (late) Fathers birthday present (an ex ref....and there was me in a Bath Rugby top). He seemed a seriously nice bloke, autographed and annotated a personal message in a book (his autobiography) for my Dad and we had a pretty decent chat. He knew I was a "ted" (though couldnt quite square that with the Bath Rugby top), and we parted company. Yes he's gas, yes he's said some silly things when he was younger, but he strikes me when you speak to him 1-1 as an OK bloke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man used to bump in to him around Longwell Green a lot a number of years back, said he was a lovely bloke. Passionate about Bristol, loves the City of Bristol and just want to be associated with a successful region he is really proud to cone from.

CiderJar Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Nige might have his faults but Joey Barton, what an awful person. If I have read this correctly he has an injured player of whom he says "if you’re not playing you’re not going to be here long." and whom he is looking to move out of the club https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/exit-nears-bristol-rovers-defender-6529134 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
