Reigate Red

Radio 5 called this a relegation battle

Wow.... this takes me back. We had Rediffusion and had a few of those radio sets. I have a particular vivid memory of one of those sat on a high shelf in the kitchen and listening to the Apollo 8 message on Christmas day in 1968 whilst eating a cooked breakfast. Funny the things you remember.....and those you don't.

Try this link for an explanation BBC - Why 999 for an emergency?

Fair play NTTDS despite travelling by car you still got a photo of some railway tracks

Yesterday's ref is at the match!

Have you not heard the Grinch has cancelled Christmas - there's your excuse!!

Shades of 1970 Q4 England v West Germany - give Booby Charlton a rest for the semi final.

Bailey Wright comes on - inevitable city reference by JP

They've also got a spa

I'll stand patiently in the queue after MarcusX and BS3rich if any are going spare. I'm not Bristol based but could meet up at Reading.

Oh wow - wasn't expecting that. Well done

Yes that was the first game I took my daughter to and she had rather a high expectation thereafter! I remember driving home listening to the local radio phone in and their fans were livid about how many of us there were. As I am only a member I don't have a ticket so add me to the list of potential buyer of any available tickets

Yet again members get only a four hour priority window during the middle of the day. Useless for me.

I bought a ticket on the weekend but do think the priority windows were too short, one day for ST holders and only four hours for members (that's me) - which I missed. Apart from checking the website on a regular basis is there any way of knowing when away tickets come up for sale?

I'm not sure about parking arrangements near stations but now that the Elizabeth line is open from Reading does that open other alternatives (Maidenhead, Taplow, Slough)?

Possibly too unlikely - but we get awarded a penalty.

I hit the 6-0 early next year and am planning on using a rail card to make travelling to Bristol for more home games more affordable. If I change my working commute hours slightly I can also use it to reduce those costs. DIdn't know about the Tesco clubcard points so thanks.

If you look carefully there is a bin in the background of the coach photos. It's possible NTTDS is playing games with us

Lots of premier league only draws - the road to Wembley is clearing

Really good to see these comments - hopefully it will provide confidence. Onwards and upwards

Have you thought about orienteering? There are a number of permanent courses around Bristol at Ashton Court, Leigh Woods and Blaise Castle to give it a go. You just need to buy the course maps first. Used to do a few around where I live with the kids when they were younger - it got quite competitive! See link below for info: Find a Course - Go Orienteering

Ewe

Again!! Would we have it any other way though.

Ha ... yes I had forgotten about those potatoes, Good point.

Funny you should mention that. A colleague of Mrs RR lent her the series DVD a few months ago. Slow paced but humorous - you need to watch a few to get into it.
