  1. I really hope so daored, she is beneath contempt and so is he and I am a peace loving man but I hope they both get hounded to hell in jail. Just going for a meal tonight with my daughter and 6 year old grandson who I give plenty of hugs to.
  2. Give them an Ince and they will take a mile ?
  3. Another one from my boyhood days, as John Aldridge said, he will never walk alone. RIP Ray. Now in the best grandstand in the world.
  4. RIP John. Thanks for all you did for us.
  5. Available from Lyons Tea Shop at a s(nip) For you older supporters ?
  6. Cant grumble. Got grandson his kit 2 weeks ago. 20% discount plus my £10 ST discount so got it for £30.
  7. Curle's departure means that it is owner Abdallah Lemsagam's ninth change in head coach since his arrival at the club in 2018. Some owners NEVER learn, hope we never get one like these ego-chasers
  8. First Game 18th April 1959 v Leyton Orient. John Atyeo dominated.
  9. Couldnt care less, cant stand the club, even lost to us a couple of years ago ?
  10. Got my 6 year old grandson this for his birthday last week, should I have given him a Liverpool kit and a better start in life ?
  11. Quite so Reg, OTIB is well ready to take over ?
  12. Just been given this and takes you back to pre 1961 when footballers were in no way cosseted as they are today. A really good read and maybe one for the Xmas stocking !
  13. Nail on head, all down to money. I have a hearing problem and have waited months to see a specialist, saw him and waited another two months for an MRI two weeks ago. Still awaiting results. If I went private, could have seen a specialist in Bath within a fortnight, MRI in a week and would have known months ago what problem was. The rich will always give a reason for their 'importance' over us plebs
  14. Yes, I was there that day and the old man told me not to talk coming out of the ground ! RIP Gerald. A true sportsman.
  15. Hasn't trained me much Major. I Still go down the gate to watch attractive football !!! Where am I going wrong ? ?
  16. RR, my great granddad worked there as well and became Miners Leader and later Lord Mayor. Alderman Charles Gill
  17. where do I start ? Started watching 63 years ago H v Leyton Orient. Stood in front of the Old stand on a stool dad made for me. Grandad was a supporter as was uncle (Robert ) Fast forward to a teenager in the EE. Throwing toilet rolls at Rovers supporters ( yes on a derby they 'shared' the EE. Moved north with dads job and followed Sheff Wed for 4 years ( including a cup final in 66 v Everton) Moved back, met the missus and first date was at the Gate and a drink in the supporters club after. Then migrated to Crackers corner in the Open End (Atyeo). Then sponsored supporters club in the 70's with my ad hoarding on the Dolman. Virtual non stop since then and share matchdays with my two cousins ( Robert's sons ) @CyderInACan and @SuperDziek. Now getting seriously fed up with watching City but feel I cant let the support of my dad, grandad and uncle down but even as a ST holder , illness has meant I have only seen one match (v B'mouth) and depressed me even more but still went to the shop last week to get a home kit for my 6 year old grandson................will I never learn ?
  18. Sad to hear you are unwell Nigel, rest up , get well and look forward to seeing you back on the touchline in good health.
  19. Spot on Stevie, it all stems from SL's running of Bristol Sport with BCFC being the ugly sister. Forget it was OUR ground, forget we all go there for the football, forget BRC played at the Mem, it's SL's big vision except for one valuable point.....He's clueless on Football.
  20. Exactly RR. I think for all the promises we have had over the years, a lot of us will probably start watching our local amateur sides with an eye on results featuring City. I for one will be one of those as football to me is entertainment and I have not seen that in a few years now at AG. Will always be a City fan but it's wearing very thin now. I would think the young and the diehards will still turn up ( as I did in the dark days) and attendances will be around the 10k mark or less.
