Enclosure Old Timer

A new Beatles single, the Stones album at No.1, next I'll be hearing that Alan Dicks is our new manager!!

Strawbs 'Grave New World ', still a blinder of an album more than 50 years on.

Great article, should be compulsory reading for the Lansdowns.

For cricket fans of my generation, Bishen Bedi has died aged 77.

Part of a fantastic Indian spin attack in the 60s.

Absolute legend, a joy to watch. Also wonderfully described T20 as 'vulgar'.R.I.P 

Shame that the club haven't seen fit to post any tribute to a man who played over 200 games for us and is obviously fondly remembered by many. 

Chris Crowe did his best to hit the corner flag with the re-take !

Gerry Sharpe v Mcmordie...........horrendous !

Stood at the Open End that day, heard the crack as his leg went.

'He can't kick with his left foot, he can't head a ball, he can't tackle and he doesn't score enough goals, apart from that he's alright, '- George Best on David Beckham.

Was there at the back behind the open end goal, I remember the bizarre sight of all the players running to their own penalty area to congratulate the scorer.

Remarkable how a sag p*sstake thread has now morphed into a thread about an obscure, eccentric novelty act from the late 60's.

That Tiny Tim has a great Wikipedia entry, one of life's great eccentrics. 

Saw Tiny Tim at the 1970 Isle of  Wight  festival, totally bizarre! In a line up featuring the likes of  Hendrix, The Doors and The Who, he had around half a million people singing along to 'Tiptoe Through the Tulips ' and 'There'll Always be an England '.

Left backs seem to be Bristol City's best position over the years:

Scott, Barnard, Bell, Brennan, Bryan, Cunningham, Dasilva, Pring, now Roberts

Mike Thresher, Alec Briggs, Brian Drysdale........

If Gregg Wallace is in it I wouldn't watch in the first place, can't stand him.

Remember seeing him taking us apart at St. Andrews when he was 17, where does the time go. R.I.P. 

In Scotland at the moment and just travelled through Dumbarton, funny how that name brings a certain scouse jailbird to mind!

We couldn't get tickets for the Colston Hall so got some for Taunton Odeon

I was at that one, also saw him at Weston Winter Gardens.

I remember seeing Tyrannosaurus Rex at the Colston when they were just a hippy acoustic duo, unfortunately for them the support was Fairport Convention  at the time featuring Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson. Suffice it to say Mr.Bolan's duo were completely blown away!

Jimi Hendrix at the Locarno. 

Saw Queen supporting Mott the Hoople at the Colston,  Roxy Music supporting Hawkwind at the Locarno and The Eagles supporting Neil Young at the Hippodrome, all around '72/'73.

Ah, memories of nights on the pavement, did that for Stones tickets at the Colston in '71 and also at the original Virgin shop at the Bearpit in '75 for Led Zep at Earl's Court. 

R.I.P. Chris, City legend.

PAFVLK if anyone wants it

Chris Crowe?

Must be. Also, how refreshing to see proper goal celebrations, a few pats on the back and handshakes while trotting back to the halfway line, unlike the 5 minutes or more shenanigans we have to endure these days.

Going to the Levellers tomorrow (Saturday), love the Levellers but the big attraction for me is the amazing Peat and Diesel from Stornoway. Also on the bill is Selecter and Black Grape so should be something for everyone.
