Gave in and renewed today -1 seat. 

Moved over to the Dolman. Not ideal seats but it is what it is. Shame that it showed me seats available in the SS and there was some ideal seats. 

Only reason I renewed was because of the scare stories of the season ticket cap nearly being reached so I wanted to secure seats for the future. 

I've just done exactly the same with the same feelings. The last time I had a season ticket in the Dolman was when it was first built in 1970....£5 for a juvenile ticket!

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but is anyone aware of a league been set up for this? https://www.gaffr.io/

Scored the winning goal vs Malmö FF, eurocup it was named then. 1-0, Forest.

Against our former keeper Jan Moller…probably the best keeper we ever had..he was a big ‘un with mahoosive hands and so mobile.

I’m pretty sure he made his home debut against us, we had a special train that day, needless to say we lost!!!

I believe you are correct…first million pound player and came on as substitute….and yes, we lost by a goal to nil. Proud to say I saw the first appearance of a million pound player in the uk.

Must have been some pretty ropey winners of Bristol born Player of the Year in the not too distant past.

 

Delighted for Belly though, really enjoyed watching him second half of the season.

Can't understand why Cam Pring hasn't won this. He's been probably our most consistent performer this season...probably because the club have him down as born in Cheltenham....but I know for a fact that he was born in Southmead hospital. Can't get more Bristol than that!

If I remember correctly, Paul Cheesley scored five for the reserves in a 8-2 victory against Cardiff when he was first signed from Norwich in the early 1970's.

The Dolman was opened in 1970. I can vaguely remember it being built. I was only a lad at the time.

Had my first ever season ticket in The Dolman as a juvenile in 1970...£5 for the season!

Just a thought since we changed our strip we have not won a game or scored a goal!

Didn’t we beat Hull in the new kit?

Can understand the change of kick off time, but why change the date? Bit arsed about this as have already booked train ticket for the Saturday.

Any idea how many going Saturday?

Nearly fifty years ago we beat Leeds in the fifth round...they were top of the first division and were unbeaten in 32 games, and if I remember correctly we were in a similar position as now in our league. Anything's possible!

As a youth product yes, but he still came through our academy, so I am pretty sure he is regarded as one of ours, and an academy product, not a player we purchased from Cheltenham. 

Add in the fact that he was born in Southmead hospital definitely makes him ‘one of our own’

And Pring, Cheltenham. 

Cammy actually born in Southmead Hospital!

Well this is a category!

 

Thought Cameron Pring would have been up for this...made 34 appearances to Ayman's 11....born in Southmead Hospital. Maybe the Senior Reds weren't aware as the club (and Wikipedia) show as born in Cheltenham.

Was that a major goal mouth scramble that he managed to get a toe on, or am I thinking about something different??

It was a far post tap in from a Semenyo cross ️

I remember our coach in a grid locked car park when the ladies glided past. Gave us all an impromptu flash too...

I was on the girls coach...we pulled up alongside a double decker full of City nutters, they all piled to the one side of the top deck to get an eye full. The decker leant over so much I thought it was gonna topple over! Incidentally, the girls were from Chaplins strip club.

Wotton-Under-Edge.

Cameron does live in Wotton under Edge…but was actually born in Southmead hospital. The club profile says Cheltenham which is wrong . So most definitely ‘one of our own’

This is bringing back some great old memories. Unfortunately, my memory now is not that great! 

I can think of a couple of late night venues that I used to frequent but can't remember their names, so any input is appreciated. 

First one was next to the Hippodrome, Denmark Street I think. Late drinks and ladies. 

Second one was Prince Street, right next to the old Post Office. 

Both were brilliant. 

It was Chaplins above and next to the Hippodrome...they moved there from Fairfax Street. As a matter of interest, the Fools and Horses scene with the blow up doll was filmed at the back entrance to the club!
