I have just written to the streaming site. Let's see if they can be bothered to reply.

Can't get it either. Radio Brizz is available until 2.59pm. Just heard Brian being interviewed

You might be joking....but you might be right as well!

Well said sir.

Nope. Not any more. Nike no longer own Umbro. It is a brand based in the UK but owned by an American company....not Nike.

Glasgow Rangers. He became their new kit man according to the computer.

First heard that joke in the early 80s but no David Icke and it involved the alien going into a pub. He used a different currency called a Zonk. Maybe there are 2 aliens out there!

Depends if Nahki does a Jet style penalty then he might prambulate

Somebody already gave the answer. Blast. But can Splat save the earth in 14 hours?

OK then.... I do. Ever since our glory days up to 1980, I have looked forward to the start of a new season. Like so many, I have thought that we'd be going up but knew some of that was based on wishful, loyal thinking. However, this close season has been different. We finished well and have bought wisely. NP has a backroom staff he wants. There seems to be a genuine bond of trust between players. If Bournemouth can get to the Premier League not once but twice and Luton Town can haul themselves out of the National League to the top tier, then I have every right to believe we can. I just think this is the season for us to do it.... And please, nobody is allowed to remind me of this post until after the 10th game at least!

That's why I have booked a Friday flight and a late Sunday return. The cost of following BCFC isn't a nice one! I could've paid off a country's national debt by now if I counted up the money spent on 74 away league ground visits (some more than once), season tickets and merchandise from the shop and my 1 x BCFC 1982 share....which I used to mention when asked on certain form filling.

I've already booked my flight for the Stoke game on September 30th. Here's hoping that won't be moved

Can go down as well as up. We all follow the FT.

U2 at Locarno was for the October tour. I was there but left fuming as including encore their entire set lasted 45 minutes. The following day I returned my unopened October LP to Strawberry Fayre (above the jeans shop in centre of Broadmead) and exchanged it for Squeeze's East Side Story. Great album. Saw Squeeze support my heroes Dr Feelgood at the Colsunall in 1979. I gave U2 another chance when they played the Colsunall a year later for the War tour. Wow! St Bono of Dublin and the boys were on stage for 2 hours and included him climbing up the PA stack onto the balcony. I think the support was The Blue Cats? Aussie band I think. Have seen Squeeze many times since including the night at the Colsunall when for an entire Glenn Tilbrook introduced their new piano player....Mr Elton John. They sang Heard It Through The Grapevine and I Saw Her Standing There.

If you contact Jerry SLO (supporters Liaison Office) I would have thought he could help you in getting a Cardiff ticket. The Turtle's idea is a good one. We went to their old ground, Ninian Park, and had to sit in the main stand as I couldn't get away end tickets. You no doubt, don't have a Bristolian accent so it won't be a problem. Just celebrate the goals and win when you get over the border afterwards!

Hi Silvio, As you've bought more than one shirt, what is your verdict on the quality and manufacturing of the shirt?

As I've said before on other threads, I was a Luton Town fan from 1972-77. My parents were from Bristol but I was raised in Harpenden (home of Eric Morecambe) and 6 Miles from Luton. We moved back to Bristol in time for the 77-78 season. It was easy for me to transfer my loyalties as my Dad was a die-hard City fan even though we would go to the Oak Rd week in, week out to support The Hatters. I can only apologise to the 6 year old kid who suffered abuse that day. It is sooooo wrong. I was a young teenager when City played at Kenilworth Rd and I too received all kinds of hand signals walking past the City coaches after the match. OK, I was wearing my scarf tied around my wrist (it was a thing in those days) and I was double his age but It doesn't make it right. I said Oak Rd. The home end in those days was the Oak Rd. The away end was Kenilworth Rd. In my day that was an open terrace. The Bobbers Stand (so named as it cost a bob to enter) was the small terrace running alongside the touchline. In my day it was a bank of seats. In the 80s, they replaced the seats with executive style boxes. Luton Town gave me a love for football. I was able to watch my childhood hero every Saturday - a certain John Aston. I can't remember the 66 World Cup final but I was in awe of the Man U v Benfica European Cup final a couple of years later in 1968. George Best? Pah. John Aston won it for them and that was who I wanted to be on the footy field....sadly not though when it came to playing the game. I also had the privilege of watching Paul Futcher make his debut. Forget Ron (his twin who fortunately decided not to sign for us), Paul was an incredible player. Even though I am City through and through now (and yesterday bought another return flight to watch BCFC in September), LTFC will always be special to me. I still have my orange, blue and white scarf. I would still have my classic Admiral shirt had my mother not thrown it out deliberately it (due to a terrible divorce that made a national newspaper). I returned a couple of times to Kenilworth Rd to watch BCFC. My loyalties were no longer with Luton. My last visit was in the 93-94 season. The Oak Rd was now the away end but I was a guest and sitting in the Main Stand. I remember checking my emotions and it was the team from BS3 that I was there for. So where is this epistle going? I don't really know except that whilst it is indeed a dump of a football ground, it is my childhood dump of a football ground. That dump can't be taken away from my memory and nor will I let it. See you at Ashton Gate in September. COYR.....and yes, we are definitely going up this season.

Robin on Ice. Cue an angry Mr Cousins of Avonmouth.

Moi aussi Rough translation.... I am australian

It was on a Friday night. I think we scored fairly early on? Then it was more of a 'making sure it stayed that way' type of match. Not a good game football wise but oh boy, the atmosphere at the final whistle....Ashton Gate went mental. BS3 had a football team and as Jim D said, it was like winning the World Cup.

The kit manufacturer was Koffer Sports. I thought they deliberately chose black shorts purely for the fact Man U did occasionally and it looked good.

Am I the only one who having read the first post had no idea what it was about and couldn't think what TdF stood for? These thoughts come in cycles!

Have you looked behind the bin?

I told you O'Neills make some great kits! Nice one Sydney. 4th one down especially would have been fab.

Did you know that all racehorses have the same birthday? January 1st. That's how the organisers of races work out if Dobbin is eligible for say a certain race like 3 yr Old Stakes.
