Since 1989 the record of results is:

Bristol City Won 8

Draws 4

Brum City Won 17

I live with a Bluenose next door to me. He hasn't watched them for years but will be knocking on my door on Saturday evening IF.... One of probably thousands who have retired here, Burnham On Sea, Berrow and Brean - Brummy accents all over the place. 

So, please, please, please BCFC, the Bristle version, please let me enjoy my Saturday evening Bolognese and red wine. I don't want any of them bloody foreigners yet again taking the mickey. Get stuck into them lads and send them home empty handed. I know it will be unusual for them but turn the tide please.

They certainly come out the woodwork around here when doing well 

went to watch LECCO day after England played in Milan last September 

about 350 England fans had the same idea 

 high ranking officer just stood by the turnstiles with a blank book of tickets and literally just signed his name after you give him 10 euros to gain entry

I remember Rob Turner missing the ball and Dave Bessants head when bob taylor scored the opener. I also remember watching the game back and hearing Greavsie's poor 'Bryant & May' quip.

No Taylor goal

30 mins free parking at the gate yesterday

Very generous offer in tough financial times, but I'm not honestly sure if I would still travel with CATS if the offer happened here

It’s been this way ever since the rebuild unfortunately. 
The concourse offers food, drink and a TV to watch the game. 
I know fans who spend most of the game on the concourse, just having a few beers and watching it on the tele! 
Loads of fans watch the first 25 mins or so and then retire to the concourse for the rest of the match. 
The very fact that the game is being shown on the TV’s draws fans to the area. 
I guess City can’t have it both ways. Either keep everyone inside the stadium and engender 90 minutes of support, or put the game on the tv in the concourse and take loads of extra revenue on food and drink. 
The concourse enables City to maximise revenue at the expense of the physical support. It’s the way they want it. 
 

Newport, of course, do not have a concourse for loads of fans to piss off to when they get bored and fancy a pint instead. 
The emptying of Section 82 and other areas is 100% down to the convenience of the concourse. 

So very true

I’ve just had a look at the League One table and I couldn’t believe Plymouth! I know they were doing well but they’re absolutely bossing that league…

6 points clear of 3rd, FIFTEEN points clear of 4th. Crazy

Would be good to see them come back up

Blimey, I was at the Bears vs South Africa game (23 000 +) and there didn't appear to be an empty seat. 

Maybe a percentage of late comers but that doesn't even look like an 18 000 crowd. 

17 k tops ? 
 

Just seen the goal on sky and can’t believe how many empty seats in the south stand 

However bad it is it’s always worse down the road 

always believe 

I remember after the game struggling to get a drink in some city Center pubs but a great night and good way to start Christmas 

1990 the last proper World Cup

EURO 92 

taylor in charge

charlton palmer in midfield

Don’t worry the shop will have them back in , in JULY

He done this about 10 years ago as well

This isn't the case in the a-league - it's why the league/clubs itself is only about 15 years old.

They were set up to replace the old national soccer league. This was where the historic clubs lived (and still do, they've all just been booted down into state based leagues). These were the ones set up by various sets of migrants and have their historic ties - greek, Italian, Croatian, Dutch etc etc and often had trouble at the games.

This current wave of trouble has been set off by the brewing frustration at the way the league is run - no relegation, daft insistence on playoffs rather than a league champion, security clamping down on atmosphere, increasing costs to go.

 

It exploded this week when the bosses decided the rather than the league winners hosting the grand final - it would be in Sydney irrespective of who's qualifies. All of the other clubs had peaceful walkouts during their games but Melbourne Victory (probably the team with the highest proportion of *********  wannabe ultras types) decided to chuck flares at the players.

The City keeper chucked one back and it all kicked off.

All the media goodwill from the world cup run has gone out the window and they've reverted to the usual AFL/NRL spun "soccer isn't our game" crap.

Great.

 

 

Great post and always happy to be corrected 

When I lived in Ozz they rebrand a lot of the clubs names removing the country’s they were associated with and changing the club badge removing flags ect. It was to try and make it more main stream and attract fans from other ethnic groups if memory serves me well . This was probably nearly 30 years ago now but would imagine the clubs still have strong links to various countries
