If it hasn't been mentioned before - I recommend the Bears Beyond the Gate fan podcast. Not as polished as @Shtanley and the OSIB crew (yet) but certainly worth a listen if you get the chance. Search for it in your usual pod app.

Yeah I have the booklet stored away somewhere too - a priceless piece of City and Family history. I remember having a lapel badge, too, at the time even though I was only 8 years old - wore it to Wansdyke Primary with pride!

Maybe it should be officially remembered in a more permanent and fitting way by the club.

Agreed. I guess The Robins aren’t that bothered about the past when there’s no money to be made from it?

Good interview with Gerry Sweeny here. I remember the Dragonara Hotel on Redcliffe Way, just after the now much missed flyover! https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ashton-gate-eight-revisited-bristol-2453188

38 years ago today the Ashton Gate Eight saved our club. As we challenge once more for promotion to English football’s highest division I guess it’s appropriate to take a minute to be grateful we actually have a club to support. Whatever the rights and wrongs of what preceded the events that unfolded, these men should rightly forever remain in the consciousness of all City fans for what they did. Thankyou.

What a time to be alive?

I think there's always been an anti-Bris feeling - but as said above make the most of it!

Yep, that’s me! Cheers! Will have a butchers later or tmrw

I’ve just joined Strava having always used Endomondo - how do I find the OTIB group?

Can see the Bristol game brought forward to the Friday night and City v. Cardiff on Sunday lunchtime

Achieved nothing!? Haven’t you read Marvin’s list of 100 achievements? You’ve missed out. He’s achieved such awesome feats as inviting kids to the Council House/City Hall to play Chess and had the taxi drivers in for a cuppa.

That is ridiculous. Their time is up surely.

BDO seem to have well and truly naused this up.

A veritable bargain to experience the delights of this beautiful new stadium!

https://thefixevents.com/the-bristol-5k-and-10k-winter-warmer-run I have just signed up for this at Ashton Court in a couple of weeks. The perfect end to Dry January!

Park St Is on my list. Did Bridge Valley Rd Saturday afternoon then up over the bridge and up through Begar Bush Lane and down thru the by then dark Ashton Court woods. 16k in total.

Great stuff Tom. You'll be back up to speed in no time at all!

??If you fancy running for charity you could join me and others running in this year’s Bristol 10k for Bristol Sands : link etc below

Good Luck! Keep us posted. Got any plans?

Good work! Yup. First one earlier too for me - along the towpath, back past the Clanage, past the garden centre, park, AG and home for 10km.

Yeah - a weird move after all these years

Just returning to this thread! My 2019 ambition was to do 50km/month. It started with a 2km run around Greville Smyth Park with my son having not run for a good few months. Once I got back into the routine (and barring a pesky knee problem in late May/early June) I easily exceeded the target. The year ended too with a run with him around Greville Smyth again - a nice way to bookend it. Best month - 140km Longest distance - 21.1km (half marathon distance) in 02:05:12 New 10km PB @ Bristol 10km Race in May - 00:51:52 Best location - Troulos Bay to Koukanaries and back (Skiathos, Greece) Total number of runs - 149 (mainly outdoors, but probably about 10/15 in the gym when knee injury or horrific weather dictated) App used - Endomondo (free version) Overall distance ran - 1,021km Great feeling to have done what I set out to do over the course of a year as since starting running 5yrs ago that's the first time I have stuck with it for an entire 12-month. Usually it's "train for 10k and have a break. . . " Gave myself a day off yesterday but back out today later on. Also great to see new & returning runners on what is a great thread!

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/darts/bdo-cut-world-championship-prize-21187458#comments-section Must be a combination of being very badly managed as well as the brand diminishing in value year on year. They’ve been the poor relations for years.

That went well then. We got absolutely schooled in the 2nd half. Bring on Friday night.
