I work at Bristol Airport as a dispatcher. Fun when I see a guy in quarters about to board aircraft and I tell him he cant fly ! Always reply ' Why' ' cos you'll have to take that shirt off !! ' You're obviously a Sh*thead is the reply. Good banter though. Other day saw a guy in new City top and said ' great shirt ' to him, he didnt understand a word I said. ?

Others are available ie Crosse and Blackwell ?

It could well have been , its such a long time ago and I was 8 ! It obviously kept my interest and if I knew then what I know now, who knows what could have happened ?

Hi there , still around but sadly not renewed as working up the airport now ( at 71 !) and only saw 5 games last season. My first was in 1958 v Leyton Orient when dad had made a small wooden stool for me and I stood with my back to the cowshed ( now the Dolman) Hence my name !!

WW for me as my second team is Sheff Wed, nuff said

Grandad 1. Bristol City Grandad 2. Glasgow Rangers Dads Team Bristol City Mums Team. None Me Bristol City Local Team Weston Super Mare Daughters Teams. Bristol City

Glad you enjoyed it. My Gas mate, Mike Offer who passed away 4 years ago at 72 would have been watching from heaven and I am pleased for him plus my friend Kevin who is a ST holder at the Mem. My uncle supported City and Rovers all his life as well. Only hope we make the Prem and you do a few years after....................what great local derbies I could be watching sat on a cloud with them all !!

Same here, City for 60 + years well done Gas, its not a war we fight, its bloody football

Not renewing. Heart just not in it after 60 plus years. Perhaps I may regret it. Will always follow City but just a chore going to the Gate, parking,etc then watching overpaid players under perform and constant garbage from the mouths of owners who are so transparent when things not going so well.

Sorry to say that as a supporter since 1958, all I needed today was for my mate, 4 years older than me, and a ST holder like me for decades, to say he wasn't going after cataract surgery, and I would not go. I feel I have been lied to as a supporter ( and my mate and I with our business sponsored the club in the 70's) and that years of bad management have contributed to where we are now. I love BCFC but am not renewing my ST as a message HAS to be sent to the management that supporters have had enough. Sorry guys, I have had enough and will watch local grass roots football next season as I LOVE the beautiful ( not at AG !) game.

way way too long, gave up when my breakfast was ready

Thats why I supported them from 1965 onwards when we moved North, even had to paint my red and white rattle......blue and white ?

RIP Fellow Red. Far too young.?

thanks pongers

Pongers , where is it as I come in via Winterstoke Rd ?

Speak your mind Reg.....but you are right.

Just make sure they all got red and white on and you'll be OK. Mate of mine once got on Coach 1 and they had blue and white quarters on. We still miss him and talk of him with fondness.

1-0 v Pompey to enter the top division. Best night EVER

Apparently he is coming to the local Derby next saturday, got it wrong and thought it was The Derby. Doesnt know his Eton from his Epsom. Bit salty that.

Thanks Dave, didnt see this anywhere but happy with our second half attacking play, very promising

Jesus, since when do 1st cup matches go to ET or have I missed something !! Watched on hesgoal ( no commentary) and at 90+ 5 logged out at FT. I know I am getting old but went and had a kip and just got up to the fact ET was played. Not sorry for missing up and we lost ( now concentrate on the league, our Annual statement ) but when did this ET in first game come in. Genuinely interested.?

Well done BCFC, its more than just a game

Fantastic win, watched on Robins TV as still not well enough to resume my ST in the SS. Made me feel good and here's to hoping the medics can make me better to get back in my seat. COYR

Blame the ref, blame King, blame whatever you want but we are still LOSING these matches in 90+ minutes. This is the real sad fact. They equalised in first half extra time and won in full time extra time. Not for the first time and will it be the last, I doubt it.
