If it ends up in a Swindle vs Blue Few play-off final I think we should leave this thread as a love in for these two! ?

Isn't it something to do with not being allowed to use the first step of terracing to avoid crushes! ? That's what you get if you squat in an old dilapidated rugby ground. Still, at least the sprinklers are Championship ready.

You obviously wern't in the Weston that day ? ?

That Swindon game was my first ever away match, as a 13 year old with a 14 year old mate "looking after me", no adults with us, can you imagine that happening these days? Met at the station by Swindon old bill removing the laces from all the City bovver boots, marched to the ground, got there before the gates were open. It was actually a gate at the Stratton Bank end which was forced open, hundreds of City raced across the open end down the far side and into the Town End before anyone realised what was going on. Managed to 'hold' the Town End despite incoming from both sides. Bonkers!

Still got the scars from that one too!

Went on quite a few, they usually started from Taunton stopping at Bridgwater and WsM before the mass pick up at Bristol Temple Meads. Old corridor style carriages were standard. Masses of booze on board including barrels of rough cider!!! Wolves and Sheffield United in the FA Cup early 70s, carnage as soon as you emerged from the station into hoards of local skinheads. Swindon, smashed windows leaving the station. Plymouth, windows smashed by gas coming through WsM (I've still got the scars!) Any trip to a London ground, the special to nearest overground station and escort to ground, BUT, the return trip would leave from Ealing Broadway and you had to make your own way there across London. It was like being in the Warriors film! I seem to remember that the team travelled on one with us once ? As said above great fun for a teenager in the 70s ??

Yeah, then we'd end up with smashed toilets, broken seats and loads of GHS stickers everywhere.

Adults buying kids priced tickets? Has the bloke on the disabled exit gate died?

Family club mind (x2) https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2022/april/club-statement-abuse-20042022/

I've still got the scars, horrible club with horrible fans. **** um ?

Oh no, they are coming for us! Hang on a minute, they'll still be a division below us even if they go up ? mind the gap 22 years and counting

Lukaku and Benteke? Dinosaurs ?

Big miss for Palace

Good goal ? Does Ruben Loftus-Cheek look a bit like Nahki Wells ?

Looks like I chose the wrong semi-final to watch ?

Captain Mainwaring? Captain Sir Tom Moore? Captain Scott? Sadly their best playing days are behind them ?

too expensive to run the chiller

Probably the biggest club never to have won a major trophy? Brighton maybe from the 'new' money clubs. ?

Used to be popular at the Old Lock & Weir on the river in the summer

Apparently they have 2 "massive" home games coming up ? Salford & Forest Green! ? 4th division is full of 'new money' clubs now

It'll be a lot easier to get to now Ashton Gate halt is open *gets into DeLorean

Nice away trip for my birthday then Sid

Can you get a refund for a seat in Row M after the new 'family stand' gets pulled down? Asking for a friend

MASSIVE hands ?

Good turn out, will there also be thousands locked outside?
