Nice shirt! Did it not have the Robin badge then though? 

I still got the shirt with the Lancer Scott logo on the front and making Bristol proud on the right-hand shoulder. Size 4XL. Every time I get back to the UK I purchase from the city shop. My grand kids in Darwin wear City shirts on top off their body safety gear when doing motor cross.

Be proud when wearing a city shirt, no matter where you live or how much shit you get from others or what era it relates too,

Perhaps not the most reliable source but if you're an intern trying to make it in sports journalism making things up wouldn't be the best idea (or perhaps it would be....)

 

"ADMIRED"OMG. Nick must be thinking something different than football.

He probably does not cherish him or be revered by Lee. Perhaps he loves him.

Cold cans of Old Speckled Hen for me this weather.

This is a nice cider 6.9% proof,

Just got a 375mm six pack for $20.00 Oz dollars. About 10quid. Six cans of mercury are about my limit. Reminds me of the old Carlsberg special brew many years ago in Bristol.

In and out in 35 minutes? Is that a good thing?

what’s the point in going out for a meal if you’re done that quick? 

I had a massage once and was in and out in less than two minutes. 

4,995 QUID.

I saw his first match in August 1951and a goal against Newport County and his last one in April/May versus Ipswich with another two goals.

And hundreds of games in between. Spoke to him on trains, Ashton Gate car park and the funfair at Cleethorpes two years consecutively before matches at Grimsby.

A superb footballer and always very willing to spend a few minutes to chat to fans. So lucky to watch and meet the greatest Bristol City player ever!

You were lucky to have met the great man. I hope you keep those FANTASTIC memories.

Don’t think we’d need to go that high.

Similar up-front fee as McCrorie, but lots of add-ons.  Player wants to move on.  Won’t be on huge wages from a contract initially signed in Jan 2020…although I’m sure it had rises in it.

Hi Dave, looks like he is worth 4 million euros according to some web sites. That is just the start of a transfer. Agree what would the be add Ons be!

Peter John Walter Atyeo passed away on this day 30 years ago at the relatively young age of 61.

The word “legend” is often overused on footballers these days but that could not apply to this man, I had the pleasure of seeing him play and I feel privileged to have done so.

Always will be remembered as one of the greatest to ever put on a city shirt. John Atyeo will always be synonymous as one of the giants of our great club and along with it six England well deserved caps.

RIP John

Kids got me an engraved cheese board. Unusual to say the least.

Yes, as a BCFC supporter of over 60 years now, I really believe that it will take an absolute miracle for us to have the MINDSET in our DNA to get to the Premiership. If I could really pinpoint why we never look like candidates, I would be in demand by every Lg1 and 2 clubs! I can remember not so long ago, going to watch Bournemouth play at Plainmoor v Torquay and really thinking ' they wont be going anywhere soon' How wrong I was. Sadly, I have resigned myself at 73 next birthday to never seeing our beloved club being in the top flight, being constantly talked about on TV and being on the lips of the locals in the pub where I drink, instead of the usual culprits. I leave it to my much younger cousins @CyderInACan and @SuperDziek to follow our family hopes when I depart this mortal coil ( hopefully in about 25 years !!!!!) and pass the misery to them. Anyway, must go as working on a time machine, my only bl**dy hope 

 

I wish you well as I see you watching out great club in the Prem in the not-too-distant future. Keep your chin up mate and be happy.

Clarification

Your time will come season 2124/25

 

Haha season 2024 - 2025. Next season the play offs but the season after automatic promotion. Well, that's what I dreamed about last night any way.

I can’t hâte Leeds after they sold us God Taylor or the pros  that have passed through Ashton Gate having played for them, Hunter,Cooper, Jordan, Shaw, Mann… 

Everton, I’ll give you. 

So true Major. In past years well decades we have benefited from the quality that has come from Leeds either if you hate them or not.

Seeing a lot of chat like this about what Coventry and Luton fans have endured. It’s true, but I can remember both of these teams playing in the top division in my lifetime (I turned 40 last week). Whereas City have done nothing but float between the second and third tier in my four decades.

I think I’d rather have had the rollercoaster ride up and down the divisions than our years of nothingness. To my mind, that’s worse.

 

 

 

Me just turning 60 years I'm lucky to have seen some success and 1st division football at Ashton gate and travelling away in the late 70s.Your time will come season 24/25

43k Wembley 2015

I remember the first freight rover trophy finals which was my first visit to Wembley. I remember attending to two of them. Great years and great memories. I also remember thinking how we could fill an end of support in such a big stadium. We bloody well did it.

It was Preston pre war the official figure, I'll see if I can find the game my dad talked about.

I think the final figure I was thinking of was at the Millennium against Carlisle rather than Wembley?

Great history and I love it

Barnsley fans ,like those of Peterborough and Rotherham ,are probably bored with it all, they are up and down like a tart’s drawers. 

 

At least they got a club that gives some promise and have made the  play offs.

Play offs brings revenue to any club and supporters morale and also player's benefit. 

With Tarts drawers I hope we are on the up like a big, massive stalagmite next season as you know stalagmites go up and stalag tights go down. 

Looking forward to next season and COYRedsssssssssssssss.

I thought we did? 

Officially we have had over 43000 at Ashton Gate in the cup against Bolton just after the war. My dad always claimed that the following game had even more fans as many pushed the gates open and got in for free, people were sat on the roofs of the stands.

Hi Port, just looking at the city history 1938-39 highest attendance was against the gas at 15,400, Then our history book by Woods and Crabtree has a mention of season 46/47 and the highest attendances were approximately 25K against Wrexkam and our highest again against the gas, 

Have looked at season 47/48/49 and the highest is against Notts County at 29K.

Even season 76/77 at Coventry for us to stay up there were around 9K of us out of a total attendance of 36K I can't see anywhere we have had 40K plus.

Whit to next season though as you lucky ones will be at wembley for the play offs and witness some home history.

We have no history and no stature and took about that to the JPT. Might have been 42k but it was what we were given.

Good from Wednesday though, poor from Barnsley

JPT ?  have I missed something maybe. On history and forgive me if I'm not correct we have never had 40K plus at a play off or any other Wembley event.

I saw that. Barnsley aren't happy They didn't sell out their allocation so Wednesday were given an extra 6000.  Wednesday have now sold these giving them around 44,000 fans there 

I always wanted Wednesday promoted rather than Barnsley, but a bit of me would like to support the underdog, at least for a while, and see Sheffield Weds silenced.

You would be proud if you are a Wednesday fan. 44k is a great number and shows what a club have to the history and stature of the club goes along way. Not sure if we have got to the high number of 44K anywhere.

Barnsley have a lot of respect also in all football fraternities, but your post indicates that a great big club with history have a sleeping giant of supporters that pop out at a drop of a hat when potential success is not far away.

Similarly, I remember a game during those difficult early weeks in Gary Johnson's tenure when City were struggling in the League 1 relegation zone.

With nothing of any note going on in the game (I guess we were losing), a few in the Atyeo started singing 'City 'till I die', and kept it going until more and more started joining in around the ground. As I remember it, the team responded almost straight away, playing with a previously unfound intensity. I think we ended up winning the game (others might remember more detail), but it was the start of an amazing turnaround and paved the way for a pulsating atmosphere at the Gate and a couple of the most memorable seasons in the club's history.

I'm going back a bit now but season 76/77 at some away matches the atmosphere in the away ends where there were only a thousand or so of us at some and upwards of 5,000 at some others. Coventry away at the historic 2-2 draw is a highlight, Man U with the 1-1 draw away, QPR another. For some reason when we play well away the crowd noise from City supporters seems to intensify.
