Victory Park Reds

It just struck me that’s it’s 30 yrs ago when I went to the tournament with a few mates. At the time being young single and fancy free I was going everywhere with city and a few England trips. Football was still relatively inexpensive then.(the beer wasn’t!) It was the best “single holiday” of my life.The football was shocking but oh my goodness was a crack we had. Anyone else on here go to the tournament and want to share their experience? Still having my doubts whether Carlton Palmer was international class?

Sorry away weekend rich. My family and myself knew all the chaffs despite me being slightly younger. Always nice to look back on golden/olden times. coyr and ftg

I live in Clayfield Rd where Buglers were. Shem,Minnie you obviously know Briz‘s finest.??? I started going on Shem tours from 1989/90 when I started working with him. The best days of my life honestly.All the rolls Royce/aerospace boys I salute u all.The people I met on these trips.I could write a book -pissed up with the city and last minute agony (is it a bit long for a title) - it would win the Pulitzer Prize and be a bestseller If Shem didn’t have a coach/Aztec half coach as I use to say 33 seater/ mini bus/ he said to me “beanie will have a coach” And those are another stories goodnight ?

I feel 71 having watched the city all my life- the drink helped

I agree with major and even liked this thread.I would prefer to play clubs at our level so to speak early doors. However remember us romping the league and Mickey Mouse cup under Mr C. We struggled big time the next season.We were used to winning and suddenly we looked very ordinary.mMomentum/ confidence is huge imho. Anyhow whoever we play cmon u reds

Never been much of big I am however. 1991 / 92 Sunderland away.we left briz village at 6am on Shem tours.I had bought a 24 pack of Stella between myself big jas and Martin .On arriving at Chester le street we then had 3 rounds each and staggered back to the coach . onto the game 3 nil up .Ithink Andy Cole scored twice and leroy rosenröter the third? We won 3-1 After the game the 2 litre bottle of blackthorn was drank and then we stopped at Mecca of the midlands- Ashby de la zouch for refreshments as well. Absolutely steaming when the coach dropped us back in briz village about 2am. Back up the Good Intent at 12 the next day joey and his lightweight wife can do one Im 51 now and can no longer do this.

I forgot him!? who is next on ze list

Without a doubt the worst pundit employed by sky. Dean Windass had a go for a while on the “around the ground” commentator. However villas finest has set the bar exceedingly low. I appreciate he has had mental health issues but he really is the Bristol Rovers of the pundit game. To Lee Hendrie “you have sat in the sky studios too long for any good you have been doing.Depart, I say and let us have done with you.In the name of OTIB go”

Best day of my life xxx Wembley 86 .I love my wife and kids but winning at Wembley cmon Had the pleasure to meet Alan a few times over the yrs.He’s an absolute gent and city legend. The first season when he started shuffle and shooting I use to stand in the East End and I use to get his autograph most weeks on my programme when he was warming up.

Lots of people have fire sticks these days loaded up the max with everything. I like going to watch a live game however if it’s a wet cold winter afternoon away from home and someone offered me such an item I maybe tempted.? N.b I have renewed my season ticket x 2 children

My boys love it- I’m old school green top with a 1 on back will do me coyr

City v Spurs Jan 79 I was 8 - Im sure the game was on match of the day as well to see Gerry gow booked ? I was in the children’s enclosure Fairly sure it’s the biggest crowd I’ve been in at the gate as well.Spurs had ossie in the side not sure about ricki villa? I can remember from getting off the bus at temple meads with my dad and walking along the cut past all the spurs fans singing songs in the pub where the Peugeot showroom was. I know the game was shite but hooked for life with everything about football- crowds/singing/swearing- absolutely proper mind - I wish there was YouTube so I could watch it again.

Hasn’t been a bad Saturday.My rattler is tasting beautiful. Having lovely banter with my gas mate.Well I’m enjoying my txts anyway.

If the spawney ******* stay up can you imagine the wankfest they will have with Sheff Weds fans next season.? ” please tell us how much you hate Bristol City please please tell us”

Blackbird1 I hate those tosses with a passion because they are annoying xxxxx. Look at the kit,look at ground,look at their fans,hollow head,the fake sheik. ,tick tock they r coming for us,the trumpton yrs,their stupid ####kin song. Give me a reason to like the gits cuz I know they don’t like us. My oldest mate (best man) is dopey gas **** .I txt him regularly.At the moment hourly they are that amusing. Im 50 I know I shouldn’t care but that’s football ,it gets in your bones. ftg ,ctid.

When Joey boy is sent down in June with any luck he’ll be sent to Horfield.Within spitting distance of the gazebo ground .I expect his cell with have better facilities though. ftg

He looks like the bloke who picks up all the dog shit from the bins

I think that was the icy pre match game when the gas hit squad turned up like cockney wannabes in a back of a lorry and got slapped about round st Nicholas market- happy days

They talk about their great away support but they took absolutely no fans up there today.

700 000 is a game changer for the zombies.New tent pegs,awnings and various attachments for gazebos . It might even help with a portaloo up at the colony .

I watched the BT rerun of the Arsenal game yesterday.He looked some player.I was only 6 when it happened but a lot of older city fans I know reckon he would have gone onto play for England. Such a shame his injury robbed him and us the chance to see what he could have achieved.

Please Vicky Pollard fat lookalikes stop filling up your cars with stuff u will not eat nor even have a ******* clue how to cook u gormless scummy ***** everyone get back to ******* normal the end

Cmon Leicester!

Has Benny G won a competition to be a football manager for a few months? Its that or he must be city through and through.Ben Garner I salute you??.
