interesting idea that the Bristol Stadium goes there rather than Temple Meads.

Blimey who knew Michaelwood services was such a terrifying place

They also went bust in that year but the outbreak of WW2 and the cancellation of the football league saved them . 

Is there evidence for that? If so very interesting. Instead if 1885 on their badge should it be 1945?

Interesting angle.

Me and a friend (a sag) unfortunately.... bumped into Steve Landsdown, he explained he didn't understand how rovers fans with such little investment in their club in the past years still love their club and manager more than city fans appear to when he has poured millions and millions in and still they do not love him. on another note, dont get to happy about stadiums, Brentford and Burton both have rubbish stadiums yet still on paper and last year on evidence are a better team than us!

Are you absolutely sure that is what was said? It sounds a bit suspect? I don't love SL  as I aleady have a wife and kids. I do enormously respect him and I am forever greatful to him and his family for what they have done for my other lifelong live Bristol City FC. I am sure he knows that is the same with many of us fans.

Even if you go by the 1982 crap, we have had more success since then than you have had, ever.

Please don't pander to the 1982 taunt. It was an administrtive action. We remained Bristol City and are a club with a long and proud history. 

Dopey on his way within weeks?

honour the Ashton Gate 8 of 1982....When will you deluded Sags realise that 1982 has zero effect on the entire Bristol City fan base you absolute bunch of pikey tools?

I have never understood this childish taunt. It was imho an administrative change. I still supported the same club I did in 1981 and watched them at the same ground.

Nice to see Sky include the goals rattling into the Sags 9-0 demolition in their film of memories of White Hart Lane

i recoreded this off some Sky memories/gold programme recently. I watch it to cheer myself up.

It makes a change from his hell-raising days. Asked about the seemingly apocryphal story that he had once knocked out a horse in Panama City, Durán makes a clear distinction. “I knocked him down,” Durán says with the credibility of a connoisseur in violent punching. In November 1969, after his 15th pro bout and aged 18, he was offered a bet – $100 and a bottle of whisky if he could flatten a horse with a single punch. Durán says he was reluctant to hurt the animal but, spurred on by a girlfriend and already drunk, he took the bet. The horse went down from a stunning left hook. It got up but Durán’s damaged hand had to be stitched up without anaesthetic. He didn’t care: “The girl was kissing me and I was drinking the whisky I won. I didn’t feel a thing.”

Great story about Roberto Duran - is he a gas head?

No we haven't!

I went with licencing to Gloucester roads and spoke to the pubs re any concerns they have and offered advice for the day.

No talk of "Teds" was mentioned by the "old bill" or the pub licensee.

 

For once an OTIB rumour is scotched with facts, from someone who was actually involved - lawks a lordy, whatever next!

 and this to follow

"Fair play about students but just get the last tickets sold,it will put up a marker that the gas will never go away, and we can sell out a match that is unfortunately for us a dead rubber."

Wow they really are that insecure?! They obviously are more worried about their continued existence and know something is up with their new owners! Sell the Mem, take the money and run maybe?
