Thanks for sharing this . Amazing what they can do now . Doesn’t damage the pitch when they have concerts etc . Think they have similar at Lille . When do we think Uncle Steve might get on these pitches at the Gate ?!!

Interesting to hear the history and the different versions of where it originated. 
As for the photo , it looks extremely hot in them uniforms.

He even tore us apart when he played against us when on loan at Doncaster. They won 5-2 at AG. 

When was that ?

I remember one home game under Cotts (won 4-0) where I thought the full back that was supposedly marking him was going to cry.

He was beating him for skill time after time so he tried to get physical & put his shoulder into him & JET knocked him somewhere almost into North Somerset.

We had the best of him & even when we as a team were crap, he was outrageously good.

I forgot how good he was

I remember that when I first started going in the 80’s. Absolutely loved that one. 

One of the first chants I ever remember apart from some very racist ones I can’t repeat!!

I’ve been patient for over forty years since we fell out of the top division. Jam tomorrow. 

Major sorry about the Jam,  Style Council not a patch !! 

I was too young for the heady days of Division one!!

Ohhhfor the Club Shelts

(For the next head coach of choice)

 

'we've got to bide our time' - 'we can't compete with the parachute payments' - 'if we can sell players for £25m every year we're building that nest egg up to be able to compete in the longer term' 

 

A club egg !!

Hard to be patient as a football fan as where always casting envious looks at what others  are spending !!

In all seriousness Shelts  to save you searching for the references , , it harps back to SLs interview in Guernsey after Scott was sold where he stated if we can sell a player for £25million each year (I know I know) it will build up a nice nest egg

Thanks for that . Nest  egg for himself or the club ?!!!

Rule One regarding the Nest Egg

We need Syko Killer to kick off…it’s easy.

Cracking tune !!

Positive start to his season . Gets into good positions and has some quality and an eye for a goal . Pleased for him and his dad Colin who was a fair player in his day !!

Fair play to Uncle Steve and the money he’s put up , if I had that amount I’d seriously consider losing some of it at Ashton Gate . He hasn’t been a perfect owner , not really sure what is . 
I think the club is in a better position than when he bought it . We’ve had some good times . 
What’s all the talk about a nest egg , have I missed something?!

Very early doors tbf . Can’t see a change. 

Job for LJ 

One for the Bristol city is our song !!

Hate the techno version . Always sings it with r ma or moo 

Stream ?

Strong line up and he’s made changes . Hope those coming in can show why they are in and not on the bench . He got it right with Tanner , felt he’s been off it since the start, he will come again . Fancy us by the odd two !!

Shame he’s lost his job . Some great memories while at AG . Like him as a person until he starts to talk about football !!

Wish him well in the future and hope he gets back in the game when he’s ready . 
Worse managers than him

Lots of factors on why and the why nots. Disappointed in the product on the pitch 

Really good keeper
