  1. Not on our campsite! I was the token City fan. There was even a diehard Yeovil fan there.
  2. All the England Round 1 games were played at Athletico Bilbao's ground. I remember it as a newish stadium which would not be out of place today over here. They have moved to a new stadium now! Progress.
  3. We were based in San Sebastian for the 1982 World Cup. In order to guarantee tickets, you had to buy a package holiday with Sportsworld. What a rip-off that was! To pacify the disgruntled campers, the Sportsworld Ambassador agreed to meet those who could be bothered for a kickabout on the beach in San Sebastian, at 7am! The press hounds were duly invited and at least one photo made the front page of the ambassador being thrown into the sea. It was portrayed as fun. It wasn't. Most of the campers were annoyed with what the brochure said we would get for our money and what we actually got! The bay has an island in the middle (a bit like Steep Holm). Oh, and the ambassador was Bobby Moore.
  4. Did Ringo make an appearance last time Sir Macca was at Glastonbury? I didn't think he did.
  5. If there was a local tribute band, they would have to be called N and Chicken- Dubz
  6. When staying in Newport once, Springsteen was so bored he made a thermos of hot beverage and headed for the river. He drank several cups and realised he could write a song about the lack of any entertainment or fun in Wales and all he could do was drink several hot cups. Hence his song Fifth Tea, Severn Channel And There's Nothing On.
  7. He's the equivalent of Weimann. Bruce could play alongside Andi as both are Born To Run. Igmc
  8. Tottenham v Leicester. Meh! Wasn't Mansfield away! I'd like to see their statistics for that!
  9. I have yo say it is a fantastic kit. Well done to all parties concerned. Quite a few of us here remember the original Admiral kit (without stained glass effect). Well done also to CCFC for not having their brown version as an away kit!
  10. I drove to City of Derry Airport and caught the 9am flight to Stansted. The shuttle train and then tube got me to Wembley before midday! A couple of beers with my Bristol friends were had at Wetherspoons. I used to be a member of another forum, The City List. Geoff 1955 was a fellow lister but had moved to the USA. I phoned him at half time but couldn't hear a word he said. There was either a bad signal or the noise from the concourse was drowning out any conversation. I've tried to forget what happened on the pitch. The Dean Windass goal was made even worse as I had a fantastic view of it. Another friend from Bristol gave me a lift back to Stoke where he now lived. A stopover and a flight back from East Midlands Airport the following morning rounded off my 24 hours back on the mainland.
  11. BBC News - Little Oakley football fan dies weeks after stand named after him https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-61534940
  12. I was going to say job for cotts!
  13. I'm sure NP has a view on this after being sacked at a previous club. Nige had engineered a revival and no doubt would've kept that club from relegation when he was sacked with only a few games left.
  14. Actually James is from Derry* which is the equivalent of the Rougier brothers. *he's also from Londonderry.
  15. So the new boss has to be a donkey? We've had a few in the past!
  16. And now I'm really confused....or maybe Neil is. Courtesy of Wikipedia...
  17. Rock n Roll indeed. I only heard about JFK's daughter recently on TV as well! At least the TV show didn't say anything about the classic Quo track of similar name!
  18. Did you know the song was about JFK's daughter?
  19. And the England DJ nicked Sweet Caroline from Northern Ireland. Stick with The Wurzels. Be proud. Be Wurzel!
  20. Could a mod amend the title to Red Button and Robins Audio (Listen Live) please
  21. It's getting worse in the second half. The amount of dead air is woeful. Hopefully, someone from this club is reading this thread.
  22. I have just written to complain about the sub-standard commentary especially as the Listen Live web page says Radio Bristol provides the audio. May I suggest you complain right now during the game to bristolcitytvsupport@streamamg.com
  23. No. I have it too. So much for exclusively live BBC Radio Bristol commentary as mentioned on the Robins Audio page
