I’m sure I’ve read that both AG and Eastville were flooded in the late 1960s.

Was reading all the newspaper clips on that website about the rent dispute with the stadium owners.. one article suggested they could have bought it back if the supporters club had chipped in with their reserve, another one where City would share (i.e. stump up the cash) and another where they'd get a new state of the art stadium build by the stadium owners but they'd not pay the £52k rent a year they paid currently. Oh no, they'd want to pay less. 

They've never changed. 

They've always wanted/expected something for nothing

As above - But I used to go to The Anchor

I'm sure York used to play in a red/ blue combo?

They did. It was either red and blue vertical stripes or red with blue sleeves depending on when it was.

I stand corrected - I only remembered them in Red & White

Their new stadium is light years ahead of the stadium that is tent city. 

What's with all the Blue?

Don't they play in Red anymore?

Latest odds

Yeah, Chris Hughton was favourite for us - look what happened there.

They'll probably appoint Frank lampard, due to their strong Chelsea links

My source is the Bristol City historian David Wood -in his book "Bristol City The first 100 years"  He was quite specific, maybe they modified them?

This is an old picture of Springfield Park showing the same floodlights, so why would they need ours?

@Malago was right in a way, and @weepywall

The original 1935 floodlights were sold to Burton Albion

The ones switched on in 1965 were sold to Wigan Athletic (Springfield Park) when the 4 corner pylons were removed and the replacement lamps  were fitted along the front of the Dolman and Williams roof.

Don't think they put them up then, because this is their last game at Springfield Park - and these are definitely NOT ours...

Year unknown, but either mid/late 70s or early 80s.

Looking at the unfinished Dolman stand  (Seats still being installed, hole in front wall where steps will be added) I would say it's circa 1970

I was just thinking. If we lose by more than one goal v Blades will that mean the s*gs are officially better than us?

Yep - That's what they usually say

 I had to look him up as well.

A striker who played for them alongside the more famous Junior Agogo in the 2000s.

Got transferred after a season where he scored 0 goals from open play. Dropped to non-league shortly thereafter.

 

A bit like John Akinde then

What time did they say the announcement was?

No such thing as 12 pm so maybe they mean 12 midinight?

Tickets go on sale at 10:00 Monday, so a mad free for all for season ticket holders.

How many Season Tickets did we sell?

As of last night Bristol had 99 patients and Weston had 24 patients with coronavirus, Weston only has 3 in CCU.

The large numbers are self isolating and having very little impact on NHS

Where have you got those figures from?

Another defeat for the Sags to add to Ben Garner's abysmal win ratio. What are they paying this bloke for?

 

Only The Mickey Mouse Cup though.

Need to win a few of those to keep him in the job

Well I was brought up in Fishponds, now live in Hanham, have also lived in Eastville, Kingswood and very briefly Warmley. So I nearly have the full set!  Maybe it just depends where I'm living

Edit: I also lived in Lawrence Weston 30 odd years ago which- at the time- I would have said was more Rovers than City!  Mind you when I lived in Redfield and St George it was more of a 50/50 split.

Didn't move to Bath and Horfield with them then?

Their traditional heartland being where?!

It would be interesting to know where the current "Blue Few" come from?

Eastville/Fishponds,     Kingswood/Hanham/Warmley,    Bath,   Horfield...

It was the first home game for Ferencváros last night, they managed it as excepted pretty well with the previously attached cardboard figures. And everyone seemed to be disciplined there, so that is a big thank you for the fans.

 

 

Is that Bristol Rovers planned new stadium - complete with their entire fanbase?

You'd have thought they'd put it back a bit to coincide with the opening of the new stadium, double celebration

If "they" decide to finish season behind closed doors, does anybody really think fans would stay away knowing the game going on could have a massive bearing on your clubs future ?..... i can see it being a policing nightmare in some places...

It would put a new spin on the term "I was there!" 

Bristol Rovers.... They do make me laugh
