Tragic news 

as posted on the England travel club a England and Bristol city legend

i

Just read about beanie on the England travel away club forum 

Sad news if true 

please delete if info is wrong and very sorry

Normally catch the train to home game and have ended up chatting to various fans of clubs that have gone up and back down 

and like in a previous post it’s not always as rosy and we think 

A getting hammered some weeks 

b lack of Saturday games 

and c  when we played Man U in the cup people asking for tickets and sat or stood next to someone you have never seen since….

Make that 5

Could also move to still Saturday but 1pm or similar of course- happened in 2007 and 2010 iirc. 

I don't remember any home games v Swansea on a Sunday in my time.

Played them on a Sunday about 11 or 12 in the morning about 22 years ago . But that was after what happened over there earlier in the season

Well done Tommy - keep knocking them in.

Our quartet of youngsters - what order do we rate them in?

Antoine > Tommy > Alex > HNM

Add Sykes to that list very good player

Personally can’t wait for Saturday. Haven’t looked forward to game this much in years . Cue crap game with a loss

Happy birthday. If you know you will understand 

Really can’t wait for next Saturday 

when was the last we felt like that ??????

Why are Saturday nights just so much better after a city win 

every thing just always seems that little bit better

If you know, you know.

Went on a coach from the 3 lions / Shem ? About 20 years ago ,Wigan away last game of the season and spent the weekend in Blackpool. Got to the Manchester about 2 pm and there was a chap completely naked just sat there having a pint . Put me off my pork scratchings

My definition of a 'real fan' is someone that really cares about the club, in whatever way that might manifest itself.

But special kudos goes to fans that travel around the country to watch City away, or come from afar to watch us at home.

You don't need to attend games to be a 'real fan' though.

Sorry but have to disagree with the attending games bit 

no way would I call a some one from where I grew up ( Bridgwater) who wore a Man U or Liverpool shirt and never goes a real fan 

not in a million years

1999/2000 training top?

Admiral and the white stripes are pretty similar as those on the shirt we wore v Stoke in the Auto windscreens final

Many thanks 

Found while having a clear out

City goal (Semenyo): https://streamja.com/0O9rg

Brilliant play by Conway

first home game of the season with a sell out crowd 

great weather and its flag day 

trains and buses will be full of fans with optimism 

so come on city please don’t let us down ……

Didn’t they bring a coach load down here a few years ago ?

Anything from the brimson brothers utter crap

Steaming In - Colin Ward - one of the early books about following football in the 1970's and 1980's.  It isn't one of those typical hooligan type books - "we ran everybody off our manor", blah, blah, blah.  An authentic account from somebody who was there at the time, not a main protaganist.  It's been years since I read it, but I felt that it painted a true picture of what it was like to be on the terraces. 

Very good book and like you said not your typical bullshit 

All played out the story about Italy 1990 brilliant read

Thinking of getting a Sweden ladies season ticket

Both clubs would have known that it wouldn’t have been a 3pm Saturday ko!

An evening ko would have been the best option but Sky dictate what time the ko should be - with the agreement of the local police.

Evening kick off with all day drinking the best option…….

im sure the police would agree with that
