And this was only 6/7 years ago. Not a patch on the alps for skiing mind! we went to Pamporovo in Bulgaria in 1991, 10p for a bottle of beer, 40p for spirits. I spent £10 in the whole week . There was only eight ski lifts, and only three hotels but we had an absolute ball! Yes, you're right about the Alps, fabulous skiing. I really want to go next year, haven't been since 2013. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry hadn't seen the original reply, what I meant by 'messing with tradition' is to my mind at least, a West Ham shirt should be claret body with blue sleeves (a claret and blue version of an Arsenal shirt if you like), anything else isn't their traditional style (the actual colours of their new shirt are traditional of course, but the design isn't, which is what I meant! Just my own opinion of course In other news, I saw this new one earlier, thought it was Coventry at first glance but its Cambridge away, wouldn't be adverse to a similar design for our away kit 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 It has been a debate before, how would City fans react to a blue away shirt? For me , it would have to be a 'copy' of our Cup Final shirt or sky blue or very,very dark blue, something that wasn't 'Rovers blue'.

I've been to Morzine twice, it's a great area. Buddha Bar? Avoriaz too! It's been such along time since I went skiing, I've forgotten where I've been.

Les Dues Alpes is worth a look as it’s a glacier so you can ski in summer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I think we went there about 15-20 years ago, just remember being right up the top admiring the sunset and then realising we had to ski all the way down, doh!

SydneyCity Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 My 4 year old’s kit arrived this morning. He didn’t like the home kit as it “looks like a singlet”. He instead opted for the purple training top with the purple goalkeeper shorts and socks. I’ve got to say it looks great and the details are very nice. I also bought myself an Ashton Gate co-ordinates t-shirt and the print quality is terrible. The ink is thin, the lettering is slightly deformed and the small badge is smudged as well. It looks like a market knock-off. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m asking as I want to send it back to my brother to exchange it but if they’re all bad, I’ll just send it back for a refund. That said, the postage here and back again is more than the cost of the shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Richard Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 I wore the new home kit for the 1st time in a 7 a side game last night and managed to fracture my elbow!

Or that out of all the other occasions when playing 7 a side, this is the first time you've worn a new City shirt when fracturing a bone. Obviously a sign we're getting promoted! Get well soon.
