    Think how hypocritical we are as humans, where we deplore violence in general,

     

     

     

    We don't.

    See that is not a deplore.

     Where the intention is to knock someone out, injure them. Often the injuries life changing. And we pay to enjoy it, because it's legalised. Loosely..the only difference I can see, compared to hooliganism is it's controlled, legal, insured, rules. If someone dies from their injuries, it's seen as a tragic accident...yet the intention is to do as much harm as possible!

     

    I have knocked opponents out.

    You win by the means you win.

    My intent was not to injure anybody.

    My intent was to compete.

    To challenge myself.

    To keep pushing myself further.

    To win a fight with my own fears.

    To win.

    To improve.

    Without wanting to be really negative about this "the singing" section will have now been in practically every __cpLocation in the ground, it always comes back to positioning, acoustics etc etc

    Maybe it's just down to us not having enough vocal support? 

    Come on fine man from Wessun.

    You know better than that. 

    Your mates included some vocalists.

    You can help fans to be louder and you can make fans quieter. 

    People behave differently in different parts of the ground.

    Easing things a teensy weensey bit in the old A block could raise a decibel now and again.

    Dont call anything a singing section mind,

    The whole acoustic excuse is never shown up better than at Ashton Gate, where when it was the home end, everyone complained that the acoustics the Atyeo stand were rubbish.....

     

    Back in yonder 2006 when City fans petitioned Steve the sketch was.

    The Atyeo had never become the home end.

    It was rubbish versus.

    The East End SOUND and feel.

    After 40 years of watching City home and away ( roughly 75 away league grounds) I can 100% say that I now prefer watching non league football.

    Pay your fiver or tenner, have a drink, no hassle, no jobsworth stewards, no posturing on the terraces, stand where you want, no hassle parking, more entertainment on the pitch, no falling over when touched, and very little diving and cheating. 
    What’s not to like!.

    Went to Manor Farm Melksham saturaday.

    My legs still work I can stand and walk.

    I could walk around the ground.

    No bouncing mind.

    But the freedom none of the you cant do that there and stand there only where we tell you to do that and where. 

    Lived again the fantasy of attempting to head wayward shots behind the goal.

    Stood on the side observed the local Farmyard yoot with decked out in joggers and attempted imitation badge on the arm jackets..

    On the second lap of the pitch men were seen indulging in that working class past time smoking. 

    Three quid for  a pint for Thatchers .. I nearly gave up decades of teetotalism to a have a pint by the pitch.

    So much to like while Ashton Gate has become so much meh.

    Dont be cynical.

    Rees can levitate across continents. 

    He will heal pollution and the ozone layer and everything.

    A metro in the sky will be built and run on vegan gasses to get us to that arena where he wants and only his business buddies want.

    Not city related but 25 years ago today England got the point they needed to reach France 98 . I’m sure some of the old city faces where there . Great write up of the bbc football website 

    England took an army.

    The Italian OB wanted and looked for combattimento and got combattimento.

    From thousands.

    Was in a big group with the legend that was Beanie.

    When a calmer head was needed to calm the ones without Bean was it.

    Rome was not a place to be caught on your own.

    Well said.

    One away day on Eagle travel that I do recall (there were lots), was when we went to Leicester away in the FA Cup at Filbert street. Jackie did the business on the pitch and Eagle travel did the biz off the pitch.
    Full coach going up, 6 City fans on the coach on the way home! One mad day.
    Not gonna share too many details on here but you were always guaranteed a lively day out. Great fun.

    Underground Bar in Krakow.

    Small group of City sat at a table.

    Team of Polish skins come in.

    One big skin strides up and says "you have ten seconds to leave our bar now".

    Beanie turns looks the skinhead up and down with disdain and utters this.

    "Bristol City is running the show and we will leave in ten minutes".

    Bean turns back around leaving Bald leader not knowing what to say or do.

    That was it .. Beaned.

  9. The airs deflating out of England away.

    The November games where around the Beanies birthday.

    Some of use went because Beanie went.

    To be on that table listening to that world view was special.

    Bless you Mandy, Magic and all the family ..
